aren't these kids in high school now? and will be playing against kids 3 and 4 years older. lets see how it all shakes out. we will see how these early commits do. my guess is that they will be just fine. [/quote]

That is another common holdback counterargument. In reality *most* freshmen will be playing jv, limiting the age gap to 1-2 years. Gap gets a little bigger once they are sophomores if they go varsity but at that point they are mostly all through puberty and the physical difference are much smaller.

What else do you have?

lets see this spring, but i would think that some of these early commits will likely make their HS varsity team. if this happens, it will be interesting to see how they do against varsity competition. [/quote]

They'll do better than average since they are holdbacks, which is what this thread was about. Nobody cares that they are early commits since technically...they aren't.
