New college ref advice

[Raymond]

I saw an official get hired in D2 & D3 after his first year of HS officiating. Some supervisors like raw talent.

I've seen plenty of guys, however, trying to make the jump from that starting point to the HS 3-man ranks and not recover from the inadequacies that all to soon became readily apparent. I do wish Sharpy the best, but I can't in my own mind picture the upside to this.
And I'm an optimist. I really am.
Hope it works out.

Thank you for your comment. I have heard stories about this very thing happening and I definitely don't want to be on the failing side of this coin. I think I will be successful because of the amount of time I put into study, tape review, lectures (court club), etc. it won't be perfect but I am pretty sure it won't be a disaster.
