But I would say the majority of kids are not holdbacks. The majority of mid low recruited kids are on age but the majority of top recruits are holdbacks for 1-3 years. What’s lost in all of that is the poor souls who hold back who don’t get a better college selection than if they just stayed in their normal year.
Sorry but this is wrong. Majority of players on college rosters are not on age for their class. Top recruit lists are dominated by holdbacks. The lax world rewards holdbacks through clubs-preps-showcases-colleges. Competing with other players their age generally means failure or not standing out. Its really a pathetic system fueled by the wealthy who will game any system but justified of course.[/quote]
Always happy to see chatter/posts about HV/Sect 1, but last night's post was a head scratcher until I realized that it was a continuation from June 19.
You're so bitter and resentful to in regard to holdbacks and ironically, the audience/area that you are a member of, Westchester/Fairfield Counties are full of wealth. The final rankings of Lohud lists Rye, Briarcliff, Scarsdale, Mamaroneck/Larchmont, Bronxville and Katonah; you 're truly tone deaf.
There is a holdback thread/conversation within the Maryland main forum, which you should be directed to.
The moderators should consider your posts to be problematic in nature.
