Agreed, the talent pool is much larger. There are a ton of kids starting at the age of 5 in this area and I do think the parity of the PUBLIC Schools supports that trend. We play in the CCLA (Chester County) league and the U7 teams are packed with kids starting at 4.5.6. My boys started since they could walk and our whole neighborhood is stacked with elite talent.

LI will no be passed by Philly anytime soon but on the boys side Maryland will be passed. I know this will ignite fires but I believe there will be both superior talent and depth coming out of Philly than MD 10 years from now.

It is all good.

By the way Michael Sowers is #4 in Points/Game as a Freshman.
