I'm neither of you guys, but wanted to weigh in with some caution....that USCL survey was shared/amplified/reposted by (among others) a long list of coaches who have happily cut on-age kids for holdbacks. They "support on age ball" on the surface level but until forced otherwise, they are cutting an on age kid for a holdback, 10 times out of 10 if the holdback is 4" taller and 10lb heavier. It's not at all about "developing players." It's about "capturing today's most dominant talent and hope nobody takes it personally."
Exactly. This is why all the on age kids should and are just going start playing down a year. You can literally say anything you want because nobody cares as long as its not being done during a recruiting season.
