I don't have any issue with a kid doing a PG year. If it can help you prepare for college, what's wrong with that? I'm here to tell you its not easy to balance college and lax. Might not be that hard for the most gifted academic kids, but not for most. If a PG year gives your son that boost academically, I think it's great. After all, isn't all of this about pursuing the best education? However if the Duke kid is 20, sounds like he was most likely a holdback and a PG. Legit college freshman are 18. Some still 17 in fall semester.
