Parents may continue to hold their kids back - but the advantage of playing against kids who haven't gone through puberty will be significantly diminished by their Jr. year.
I agree that you are in essence correct, however, it will take 10 years for people to figure that out.
I think that the early recruiting being behind us, it give less of an advantage to the holdbacks and reclass kids.
While I agree as it relates to recruiting. It still is an advantage at youth level, And in Maryland with all the private school kids held back. It will be hard to get the clubs to change. Top clubs are associated with MIAA schools in some ways. In MD that is where the best lacrosse players want to end up...In the MIAA . Rest of the country may not be as unique with holdbacks like MD..so I guess there is hope.
