That is a fair and accurate comment. Crabs has a lot of kids who repeated a grade for sports, as do other local clubs. But the families drive those decisions. Crabs just picks best players at tryouts. 3d is the only club I know of which overtly markets and sells families on reclassifying kids. They put in writing that is a great strategy to follow to increase a kid's chances. It works to the extent parents see it working for other kids getting committed, most notably the son of the 3d owner who was a very early commit to a major school. That said, he didn't make it past the first round of cuts for the U.S. U-19 indoor team...a good player, but in the end you are the player you are and not the player your parents or club sell you to be. Crabs have great players in evidence. They do look better because they are older, but frankly if they had not reclassified they'd still be good players. This is all just a strategy to be in the tippy top of a recruiting class since there are so few desired D1 schools who are in the sport. This isn't football where there are 300 places to get a full scholarship.
