Haha, that's a joke! Look at any D1 roster. They are loaded with holdbacks who don't play. Many of those kids were stars in HS because they had an age advantage. In college they are exposed for the bottom feeders that they (the parents) are. Granted there are some holdbacks that excel in college, but those kids would have been stars regardless of being heldback, for them, it's a shame their parents didn't believe in them. It's the ones whose parents thought they were gaming the system to get their kid recruited to sit on the pine that is revealing of the character of kid and parent. Karma! At least the kid can put on their resume that they were on the X lacrosse team!
