I understand that fact but the Edge is H-edge-ing their bets that the players will PG or reclass and havnt as of yet done so. If I were that player I wont do a PG Id red shirt on my dime and practice with the team.

The middie "committed" from Edge when is he committed for? Has he a verbal because he is in 9th grade? and is no longer in 8th grade yet he plays in a 2019 bracket.


Apparently it is their 6'3 200+ D guy. He's not committed but has offers from attending camps. He is a reclassified 2019. His brother did the same thing and is going to JHU next year.


Wonderful. The Edge is having a 6'3" 200 lb 2018 kid play down against 2019 kids...??? and you idiots wonder why people are up in arms. You really can't be serious. Is he the Edge player that broke that kids arm in MD? Everyone associated with Edge should be embarrassed.


I have to agree with you. If my son is 6'3" 200 lbs, what justification do I have for playing younger and much smaller competition? Tournament directors are placing themselves in an untenable situation. Jeopardizing the safety of the players for money will result in ugliness.


Good point, I would empathize if the kid was 5' and 98 lbs, but he is huge compared to 2018s (even 2016s) , much less 2019. I don't see how a coach thinks he can evaluate this player's skill when he is playing kids who literally weigh half of what he does. If I were I college coach I'd want to see him play kids his size to evaluate him. Those of you with older kids know some of the players who are giant 8th graders stop skill development because they can use force, while their later blooming counterparts become faster and more skilled because they don't have size early on, most catch up and as juniors on are much better than the kid whose main attribute was size.

I predict that if the early recruiting continues coaches will find themselves most burned by kids who seem better but are just bigger and older.
