The last three number 1 players in their respective classes were all holdbacks. And my guess if they were all reclassed well before HS.

Yes. Being a holdback is necessary to get to the top of the lacrosse mountain. But two things to consider: the lacrosse mountain is a mere hill when compared to the major college sports. Second, the majority of holdbacks do not have the same success. Lacrosse only highlights the success stories. But no one sees all the reclasses that it doesn’t help. The combination of those two things means that the majority of kids shouldn’t reclass because it doesn’t make sense for most.
