[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I personally know one very high level basketball player who reclassed in 7th grade. Jury’s still out if it will pay off for college but clearly he will play somewhere. A question though- don’t colleges look and say well, of course he’s good because he’s playing against properly aged kids who are almost two years younger than he is?[/quote] No, colleges don't care if a player is a little older than the correct age for his/her grade. NCAA rules allow for some slightly older students to still be eligible so long as they graduated hs in the recent past. It shouldn't be that way, but ultimately older athletes are better athletes and that increases ticket sales.[/quote]
