Maybe having awareness may be unrealistic but as for their physical and abilities we should be able to see that because that is something observable and something you can scout.
@hawksnc10 I love that! That is such a realistic take on scouting..... there are things that can be absolute like physical athleticism and then the intangibles should be those range based reports.... I dream for this!

As a coach, you can line up two kids and see if one is head and shoulders above another player when you scout, watch film, etc. There should be a clear indication that one player is better than the next.
