What a bunch of whiners.


Way off point there Ryan. This is not a debate about recruiting, and it is well established that kids will repeat grades to play HS ball a year or a few years older and there are no rules against that. The grades teams debate is about the youth game. Or are we all once again just a bunch of dumb and uninformed whiners. Is your point that colleges are evaluating 7th, 5th or 4th graders and that is all they care about? That would be news to all of us. And I like that you picked basketball. Yes, basketball club play is by age. The college coaches in that sport don't seem dazzled or confused about what HS year their recruits are in. Enlighten us or get on topic, or better yet grow a spine.
