As a point for discussion. There was a UNC commit today who's a 2016 reclassified, his brother committed last week to Hopkins and is a 2017 reclassified. Away from is this right or wrong. How does a kid who got minimal attention in his original grade get so much better by doing nothing more than repeating a grade? Are they better, or do they SHOW better? It seems to me there will come time to pay the piper, and I assume it will be when the maturity playing field balances out in HS or early in college. I'm starting to think the coaches really don't know what their doing. And maybe as a previous post states Duke is laughing all the way to the finals. The results speak for themselves, Hopkins and Virginia missed the tournament last year, UNC hasn't been to final 4 in 20 years. No hate toward the boys, just interested to discuss the results of all this madness.
Have had many of the same thoughts. Since kids are committing now so much earlier than even 4/5 years ago (starting first half of freshman year now, over 100 2016s already committed as well at first half of their sophomore year) there is no data yet to support if early recruting correlates to college rankings/success. Will continue to be an interesting debate until there is more conclusive data or the NCAA grows a pair and slows the early recruting thing down.
