Im not sure. If you watched two of thebig osu commits in a game against a real team (like maybe laxachusetts on Sunday, not one of the the "I'm a midfielder with a split dodge so I look awesome" showcase game), you would have seen while they are beasts right now, unless they continue to grow even more or drastically improve, they are by no means guaranteed to be d1 stars. Now, if they do continue to grow and develop they may end up to be studs. But other kids have 4 years to catch them before any of the kids set foot on a college field. [/quote]
Speaking of Laxachusetts, how many of the kids on that team were born before 9/1/00? That team got a lot bigger, in size and number, between last summer and this fall. [/quote]
I would guess maybe half? I know their two big A used to be 2018s. [/quote]
Its too bad so many clubs are going to this model. I always laugh when a 2019 commit announcement links to a highlight video for a 2018.
Those reclasses better hurry up and commit though, because the physical advantage they have disappears pretty quickly as the kids move into their sophomore year. [/quote]
Why would you say "so many clubs going to this model"?
I would say "so many parents are going to this model". [/quote]
Because I know of at least one "Elite" club program that is just moving players down to lower teams without having them repeat a grade or declare that they will PG. It is only done with the hopes that they will stand out in front of coaches when playing younger competition.
I guess they will PG if a coach shows interest in them as a 2019? And if they don't draw interest then what? [/quote]
Edge Lacrosse (Canada) plays ALL of their teams down an age group. Not new.
