Those kids have a real advantage. Unfair, but real.


Really? I call BS. You're just trying to kick up a sh*t storm. You have zero substantiaon for that claim. "Plenty"??? Sure. Go back to the pipe. Must be from manhasset or a GC parent whose kid hasn't, doesn't, and won't ever start as he thinks the others must have some "advantage" over his D-1 hopeful 4th grader.
