I am saying that if smaller schools are regional contenders year in and year out, they have to get kids moving into their district. Statistics will show, there will be periods where the talent level is not top notch occasionally. I dont care if a coach works his guts out 12 months, if you dont have players, you dont have players. Smaller schools will have years when the male population is small and may not have many athletes.

That may be what you are use to, but that never has to be the case. A good coach can implement a system from middle school on up or even little league on up, that will develop players. If you have, or are, a coach that simply waits for talent then you need to get out of the game. The reality you describe is a sad situation.
