They would take them anyway, just a year later. Stop whining and start practicing!
Um, no they wouldn't. That's why they are reclassified.
and it would have been correct to say "just a year earlier".
The coaches don't come in looking for a set # of '16s, '17s or any other age group. They look for the best athletes. These boys are among the best athletes these coaches saw. The coaches have a finite # of scholarships/roster spots to give out, so it doesn't matter how old the recruit. Why don't you whine about the '15 that bloomed late a took a roster spot away from your cute, precious 14 yr old? It's all the same in the end
Actually they recruit by grad year. Hence 15's will be done before 16's and 16's done before 17's. If you reclassify (CHEAT) because you know your kid is not good enough to compete against other 16's, you then drop him DOWN to play with the LITTLE/YOUNGER kids so he looks like a superstar. Then you are taking a spot from a 2017. This is the problem... Do you get it now? Ever hear the saying "cheaters never prosper" Not so in lax recruiting.
