Uh oh. Maybe no early recruiting soon? What will all these clubs do? What will all these tournament/showcase events do? If this goes into affect, no need to start spending all this $$ to go to florida or for events like Inside Lacrosse which charges about $8000/team at the 2020/2019 level. Maybe it will fix the problem with all these kids reclassifying because of the early recruiting? Maybe now tournament will throw a max age limit on grad year tournaments.
I'd say this would definitely curtail the reclass situation. Why drop down to play younger players, for when the coaches really start looking, the advantage is minimized as many more kids will have hit puberty. Sucks for those kids that reclassed as 2019 and 2020 if this does go through. It just never is a good idea to try and game a system anyway. In all these cases, education should trump athletics and a much later recruiting start will certainly allow kids to grow, develop and level the playing field.
