Yes, the HHH 25 kids are great, but they are also mostly holdbacks. Is there another Philly club at the 2025 level that has as many holdbacks? I know of a former 2024 HHH player who just reclassed to 2025 as well.

Might want to look at the roster of every 25 and 26 team in Philly. They all have a very large amount of holdbacks. Team Ten just had a 25 go to 26. When you get to junior year of high school what does it matter? Non-holdbacks are the same size at this point. HHH did a great job getting their kids recruited or committing early. Team Ten, Mesa and NXT will surely have kids committing maybe just not in September.


As for argument of "When you get to junior year of high school what does it matter" - if it doesn't matter at that age, then why do people do it? It does matter.

Regarding the above comment regarding local clubs being gobbled up, don't think that Delco was gobbled up by BPG, just formed an alliance with Fusion and Team 11 to create national team opportunities and maybe get some improved facilities.
