I never said the Flames don't/can't scout NCAA players. I said that's not part of their AMATEUR scouting. Our head scout Button even said as much, that amateur scouting is pretty removed from NCAA games because so few first time draft-eligibles play in that league. NCAA falls under their pro scouting and I doubt they're all too focused on a 17 year old draft-eligible kid. Could Tage Thompson still have their attention, maybe and I hope so. I just have a feeling he doesn't. They've drafted from NCAA before - Gilmour - but Gilmour was a guy Button never even saw play.
