How can a college coach tell who is better?
-A 2002 born 2021 is playing with and against other sophomores(older sophomores) and juniors - often mostly juniors.
-A 2003 born 2021 is playing with and against other sophomores (younger sophomores) and 9th graders.
Obviously the advantage goes to the superstar 2021 who can stand out in 2002 age group against all those 2020s. However, what about the 2021 that seems like a star playing in 2003 against younger 10th and many 9th graders but would be a sub if they played on the 2002 team? Or what about the sub on the 2002 team that would be a solid starter on the 2003 team?
How can anyone know for sure when the same graduation year players are playing with and against very different competition? This goes for every age group now since the birth year change messed up recruiting.
