Oh, no, he would have been ranked in the top 100, whatever would have done? He'd have been fine. It is pure nonsense that people use to defend reclasses. The top guys would still be the top guys. Maybe not A1 but A2. |

| Being a top player was clearly why he reclassed. |

If reclassing didn't help due to extra year of devlopment/age/maturity, people wouldn't do it.
Pre-early recruiting of athletes, the best players were the young players who played "up" a year, no matter the sport. That's who was talked about on the playground. But alas...on to Spring 2025... |

I.e., my kid couldn't hack (or as good as we think) playing against kids his own age so decided to drop down a year and play against younger kids. That is the essential argument reclassers are making. Pro-reclassification positions can say all they want about development, age (good one), maturity, etc... but at the end of the day it is older kid playing against younger kids. Also, spare me the scholarship argument ...Kabri went to Landon, EPS, and GP...I'm sure his parents can float the Princeton tuition and, oh, yeah Princeton doesn't give out athletic scholarships (but does it other ways). |

Kabiri was a late bloomer physically; it was the best decision for him and his future to reclass. He was somewhat undersized as a freshman and grew dramatically. No reason to hate on him, Landon, Prep, or EHS. At the end of the day, he and his family made decisions that were good for them and hurt no one.
Great kid, great player. Everyone move on! |

Dispassionate question (closest thing to a dog in this hunt is an early fall birth not that much larger than average sized 25 on an IAC team with solid but not stellar chances at playing at a college of his choice) - why would anyone care so much about a kid who doesn’t play HS anymore, regardless of where he is now or where he was before? I assume there are rational answers to this question, but I can’t discern them, which could very well be my own failure as much as a lack of a logical rationale. |

He was committed day 1 to Georgetown his junior year. |

You mean his 2nd junior year. |

So jealous. You’ve got a long list of people to be mad at if you are this upset. #tiltingatwindmills. |

How come GP didn’t play in nhsls? |

Probably thought they might have to play St. John’s. Lmao |

Prep vs St John’s this past spring would have been a complete pick-em game. No team was vastly better than the other this spring. |

Exactly. Its amazing that even after a couple of years Nate is still subject to this. Reclassing is a tough call and happens for a whole host of reasons with the majority being for injury which was part of Nate's thinking here too. Also, Landon never appreciated his game - not to mention they had coaching issues at the time. Episcopal was just too small a platform but Prep helped him realize the opportunity of a school like Georgetown and eventually Princeton. Who on this board wouldn't gladly try and figure out a way to do the extra year if we could help give our DS a chance at either school? Nate is a great kid. Good student and player. |

I have no issue with the family's moves. Turned out very smart on their part, and has paid off with his play in college. However, I doubt the move to Prep was about a recruiting platform. He was the best attackman on the best club team in the country. He was a top ten recruit, and committed to Georgetown U, long before he ever played a game for Prep. The move to Prep enabled him to play for a better team. |
