I absolutely agree that the sport has grown tremendously,and i also agree that the current players are not a reflection of early recruiting,but I also think that the top D1'S overlook late bloomers and take the more hyped younger recruit,and this will certainly not play into their favor as it will play into the lower d1's and it will catch up with them..as for a differnce between a 10th grader and an 11th grader? I certainly see a difference in growth,maturity,grades and it all comes into play...Especially in a defensive position,where size matters...

Just look at the sidebar of this screen, how many teams are there drawing talent from Long Island alone. Lets also take into consideration the expansion of the sport in non traditional areas. This introduces a different athlete to the sport that probably never would have had the opportunity to play.
