Sprinkled in. If you keep having boys play at a higher level you will never catch up. Players will always drop out and give up before they mature with that mindset. Truly successful programs will have 10 to 15 studs at every level. Senior / Junior / Sophmore / Freshmen Better to keep them together for the long haul, instead of always robbing from the bottom to fill the top. If the glass has a hole at the bottom, it can truly never fill up. As a result some schools will never be in the running.
I respectfully disagree. If the glass never gets enough talent to fill 1/2 of the perverbial cup you need to pull up. Look at some of the div 1 teams Longwood Brentwood Patmed William Floyd then Middle Country Bay Shore Lindy That's 7 of the 13 in League 1. Would be interesting to see these schools rosters. I'd bet they'd be sprinkled with underclassman if anyone were true players.
you have schools like hills e with primo 2018 recruits. Hills West had a freshman starter last year. Smithtown west had another freshman playing. Etc. I think when you sprinkle in younger players it strengthens the program.
Who cares the grade of a player, if an underclassman player is your best option You move them up and play them. After the safety of the students, what is a coaches job? I hope it is to win. Then build character and teach the sport to the best of the athletes and coaches abilities.
