Generally speaking, I agree.

Although there's always a certain percentage of kids who progress at a faster level and can take on bigger challenges sooner. Teddy Jarrard started and excelled at his high school as a sophomore, then transferred to a different one with the intent of playing much tougher competition. Dude got his head kicked in for a while as a junior in the new league but eventually got on track; ultimately, he was likely better for that experience. He strikes me as the kind of player who can rise to the occasion, and ND will provide him a support system to grow as a person and leader that would be a bigger question mark at most other schools.
