Truly special does not account for weak rpand or thin ranks...thus not all freshmen on varsity are special at all. Some are just filling a void.

Schools like SA's, Chaminade, GC and others don't bring very well qualified or even committed freshman to varsity.

They have plenty of talent and can afford to let their truly special players in the 9th and 10th grade continue to mature and not necessarily rob the cradle.
