Broncho Wrestler,
Don't let all these "talkers" discourage you. I was average in high school and stepped up in college. Sweazy has a great point on sticking it out when times get tough.
I sat out a year, walked on, without schoarship, and became a National Champion.
Some people have goals and accomplish them. Some people have dreams, those are seldomly accomplished. I took a chance and lived out my dreams.
All those talkers can keep dreaming!
