[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Grad years are still going to be a mix just as they are now. Many people hold their kids back so grad years won't line up for those held back a year who have bdays before August 1. And our club at least is not making the top teams change to SY so lots of those kids will be "playing up".[/quote]
What you're describing is different.

A player that was held back in school will be forced to play up in club because of their birth cert age but will have a different graduating year.  College coaches will need to wait until their Junior year to communicate with them.or make an offer.[/quote]

So what if the college coaches have to follow recruiting contact rules?
It's the same rules for kids held back or not.[/quote]
Kids that are held back in school have to play on a grade older team in club. College coaches only care about players grade in school. In club you cant choose to play down however you can choose to play up.

For hold backs they'll be out of alignment for recruiting. 90% of recruiting occurs Sophomore year with club players. But they'll have already played their Sophomore year in club and will be on a Junior year club team. This just makes things more difficult for recruiting because you're an odd duck and not normal.[/quote]

College coaches care about your skills, talent, character, potential, graduating year.

If you're on their radar and being actively recruited, that means all the other DCUM soap opera stuff means diddly squat

They also care about difficult problem parents [/quote]
