If you're a fan of basketball, or any other major sport with a formal draft process, then you're likely familiar with how sports analysts talk about young, unheralded prospects.
In order to give their readers, listeners and viewers a greater understanding of an athlete's skills, analysts will often make comparisons between these soon-to-be rookies and some of the current players who are already at that higher level.
And that, ladies and gentlemen, brings us to a new series in our MileSplit recruiting coverage where we compare the best qualities of high school stars to the NCAA's most elite runners, jumpers and throwers.
To simplify things, we're going to call this the MileSplit Comp Extravaganza.
