The fact that Spalding and St. Mary's can even compete in the MIAA with all the prefirst/reclassed kids is a miracle. Hopefully the NCAA recruiting rule change will put an end to the 8th grade repeat/transfer nonsense that is so prevelant right now. Gilman has a 17 year old freshman on their varsity squad. 17 in the 9th grade!
stop it. total lie and i hate gilman
Not a lie. Well documented. And everybody hates Gilman.
how's it documented? on the pages of this anonymous website?
Why do you care how old a kid on varsity is as long as he did not hit his 19th Birthday before starting his senior year? That's the only rule for miaa.
I believe that is the rule for most HS's. People get so wound up about this. Maybe there are some advantages for middle school grade teams but HS is HS and your are going to have at least a 4 year variance across players ages and even more in college if they're lucky enough to play at that level...
Why do people get wound up? Other than local bragging rights nobody GAF about HS lacrosse. Recruiting happens at the club level and the 18 year old still has an advantage against the 16 year old there.
Saying "they're all in HS now" is the primary deflection tactic of a holdback parent.
