Double holdback. Gonna enjoy watching him destroy all the 10 year olds. He’s huge too, good luck
Do you remember growing up and the way to get noticed in sports was to be pulled up and play with the older kids. Too bad those days are gone.
Meh only in lax, only in MD. The #1 2022 recruit (Joey Spallina) played up 1-2 grades until 10th grade. Yes he is from Long Island, not an MIAA kid. He's also "only" 5'11" (which we all know in sports recruiting talk means he is 5' 9.75") so it's not like he's been a physical beast since 4th grade.
His dad (lax pedigree) coached him since an early age.
He was willing to compete and lose against older kids. His parents encouraged it.
He put himself to work developing the skills need to beat older kids.
He was placed in a very solid HS program.
He played for great club teams in LI.
This isn't rocket science.
And he's far superior to the #1 2023 recruit who is a MD holdback, also coached by dad (and still coached by dad, to make sure everybody gets him the ball).
LOve watching the MIAA games on youtube with Booker and Company. It is hilarious at times hearing them say ..so and so is only a Sophomore but plays above that...Of course he does, He is a junior anywhere else except the MIAA. LOL..
The top 2023 recruit made a mistake by picking Duke if he wants to play. The ACC is to physical for him, He would have been better off picking a school UMASS like his mentor cheerleader and actually getting some playing time .
It's about post-college PR and branding and that's it. Millon Events will soon be able to brand itself with a bunch of Duke logos. Score!
