There are kids turning 16 in spring of 8th grade? That is socially effed up. If that is true those same kids will be 20 in spring of HS senior year. I was playing my second year of college when I was 20. Sometimes I see a point when we are talking about fall babies, kids being maybe 4-5 months older, but this example is horrible. I also guess that an 8th grader that age who is playing on a 2020 team would hold up on a 2018 team. Which inverts any logic to recruit those kids since their comparibles should be 2018s. If you can't distinguish well against your own age and can't hang on as a 16 year old versus 18 year old seniors, there should be a universal agreement that you're not standing out.
