No doubt. I grew up on a farm and probably had less then 1% of the gym time to practice/play then what these kids today have. They are in the gym hours and hours a day all year long be it games or practices. It's a different world now. If your not physically dominant then you need to develop your skills so that they make you stand out.
I went to a 9th game game in the Iowa City/North Liberty area with my 10yr old boys last Saturday. The quality of play was remarkable. Even the scrubs (so many players) that played the extra 10 minute period would have probably started on my HS b-ball team.
I know of one kid that also played AAU and I presume there were more.
