Face off kids look good when they have little to no competition, which is usually the case at prospect days, so please stop promoting this kid as great. The coaches know this as well and will not recruit that position until they see the kid go up against the strongest kids in the grade and fair well.

As for 8th graders. Yes, they are on the radar and will begin to commit in just a few months. The will be scouted a couple more times to look for consistency, and you should have the first few by late May/Early June.
