Lol. Really, the MIAA is literally the poster child for holdbacks. I'm sure there are a lot of on age kids getting attention, but because of early recruiting, schools like unc, uva, syracuse, maryland, penn state etc. favor kids that have been held back. Period. Those are all spots that would have gone to an on age kids. Period.
I bet if you looked at any MIAA team...Over half the starters would be Holdbacks/prefirst kids. And I would bet many teams may even have the majority of starters heldback/prefirst. On Kudda Booker was doing an interview ( couple years ago) with a kid during season in April and it was his Birthday.Asked him how old he was...19...
So just because the MIAA schools do it, everyone should go along with it? They are doing it because it fuels their wallets through tuition and alumni donations - not because it is what is best for the kids. There are also a load of public schools kids in maryland, Long Island and nationally that do not participate in the nonsense.
