[quote=Anonymous]The sport is fluid and changing all the time.  A few years ago this board would be full of parents complaining about 8th grade verbal commitments now it is about the re-class issue.  Reclassing actually did make sense when kids could gain the advantage of getting early commitment to a good school.  However, the process was not good for coaches as they took too much risk in taking an 8th grader who did not pan out.  Therefore they changed the rules.  Clubs and private schools exist to sell the dream of college athletics in this sport.  Right now re-classing works because it gives kids a early lead on the spotlight of recruiting events and top teams which leads to top HS programs, showcases, ect..  The fact they might not even be allowed to play the senior year does not matter because they would have already committed as a Junior.  The ONLY way to fix this is for college coaches to adjust.  If they take the actual age into consideration when recruiting the practice will stop.  I think this makes sense.  When looking at a sophomore or Junior it should make a difference if he is 15 or 18.  USL should pressure the college coaches to make a statement about this.  Clubs and HOCO will not change this anymore than complaining on a message board will.  [/quote]
