Colin plays for Mckeesport. Mckeesport is Pennsylvania class AAAA, so yeah, those schools are getting pretty small. Pennsylvania Class A is the largest, Class AAAAAA (6A) the smallest. PA Class AAAA would, obviously, be the equivalent of our D-IV.
IMHO, Ohio's D-1 through D-3 are all tough. but go smaller than that and there seems to be quite a drop off. Those players are definitely the diamonds in the rough. So you're probably right, @bigjim.
