I did take a look at the roster and I wouldn't create hysteria over it. Yes, there are some early '98 birthdays and even a couple of '97's, but 3/4 of the roster are on-age. This might not be enough for the on-age fans, but it's hardly a disadvantage to be a true 2017.


There are 2 2017 uncommitted teams with a total of 48 kids. There are at least 26 kids with 1998 or 1997 birthdays on the rosters. So I don't know where you went to school but how is that any where near 3/4 of the rosters being on age? So your statement of being a true 2017 not being a disadvantage is equally misleading. Only true 2017's should be allowed to tryout for a 2017 team, plain and simple. One of the kids on the roster has a June of 1997 birthday! That's not an advantage? He took the spot of a "true" 2017, end of discussion. Nice try though........
