Let's also all keep in mind that whole biology thing, where EVERY class has at least one kid who was 5'6"/125 as a freshman and comes in junior year 6' 170. At our high profile private, this literally happened last year. While I won't go so far as to call it the norm - it's not - it's definitely not unusual. |
Not on most of the teams who've been contending for state championships annually. So that would be an ok accomplishment, but not a lot else. |
You capitalize that it happens EVERY year. Then you look to express shock and emphasis that it "literally" happened last year (at your "high profile" private). Doesn't it happen EVERY year? Then you say you won't go so far as to call it the norm, and say it's not. WTF are you talking about and which opposing point that you've lobbied for do you believe is true? |
Not OP. but it must've been a helluva Valentine's for you and the mrs/mr/S.O./paid escort for this rant at 930 that night ... |
“Paid escort” has me crying laughing… |
I am seeing 6ft 170lbs kids at the Freshman level. |
Waiting for holdback comments... |
What school, or at least conference? |
What school doesn't have 6 and 170? That's really not that big even in the on age demo. |
Agree - my 15 yo is 6’0 210 and he’s not even the biggest freshman on his team. While technically boys can keep growing until 20 most are done getting bigger by 16-17. That’s just a year or two off for a freshman |
What school? Gonzaga? Starting freshmen on varsity is very likely a result of the team being near the bottom of the conference vs the two kids being prodigies. My son plays at the elite level in 2028, all of these kids know each other, and while there are some great players in this 2028 class— NONE of them stand out as a superstar. There just aren’t any real superstars in this class around the DMV, at any position. But a ton of these kids will play D1. Landon, Prep, SJC, Gonzaga, PVI— they will all send 7-10 kids per year to D1. And I suspect very few of them were playing varsity their freshman year. Stop emphasizing this like it’s the gateway to being a D1 player |
No major private in the DMV will have a 28 starting this year. A handful of 28s will get minutes on a couple of those teams. Simmer down buddy we got 4 years. |
I think you missed the previous poster’s reference to the post to which he was responding… this poster was basically saying that if a freshman is starting on a decent private team- that team must be really bad. You’re in agreement |
There are plenty of 16 year old DMV private school freshman. Even at least 2 who recently turned 17 |
I wish this was a joke. |
