Now that is funny. BL started the holdback and has perfected it. They began allowing holdback transfers in the 80’s and 90’s... way ahead of their time. When St Paul’s joined the party, they began doing it earlier and more often. BL remains the ONLY school that will allow a kid to do the same year again at their school when there is no academic justification whatsoever. The result is their athletes hold back early and often and across the board are a year older than a normal student.
