It's interesting but most boys don't know even know that a kid is a holdback. Many of the players who are holdbacks get accolades due to being great athletes and as a result this surpasses much of the stigma of being a holdback. There are a few kids that were the early commits to schools that are holdbacks on the Chaminade team. They are great players but not as great as they once we're because others have gone through puberty and caught up or passed them in size and skill. Yet they received the early commitment.
