You guys are idiots. College coaches couldn't care less if a kid has reclassed once or even twice. They simply want the best kids they can kid in any class. Same for a basketball or football coach.
You can keep whining and pulling your hair out, but that's the landscape. All this Internet angst isn't going to do anything but serve as a way for you to waste your time crying about something that is not going to change.
If a college coach is looking at two kids and likes one better than the other, he is going to take him even if the kid is older. Period.
If they are looking at 9th graders they really should care a lot if a kid is 14 or 16 years old. Most kids grow a ton during this 2 year window and most slow down after this window. And at the D1 level size is a bigger deal. Scouts love growth potential. They love to say when we get him we can make him so much better. So the age of the kid should mean a ton to them. I say play by grad year but call out the age if its all about the college guys and what they see the more info the better for them correct. They asked for grad year teams and we gave it to them. Lets give them the correct age of each kid also.
Are you idiots under the impression that the college coaches don't have the birth dates of the kids? Every coach gets a full rundown of every kid at the tournament. This includes DOB, GPA, SAT scores, Height, Weight, etc...
This whole argument is so stupid. It's the way it is because the college coaches want it that way.
