Mostly true, but speed and strength come along with puberty and physical maturity. If a college finishes their recruiting for the 2018 group before they are even sophomores then it is guaranteed that they will miss out on a ton of great players. You can go to any field and it is obvious which kids are early puberty kids or held back kids for that matter. If you actually look at all the kids talent and athleticism and not the 6 inch and 50 lb. physical difference you will see a lot of kids who will be just as good as the early commits when they mature. Rob Pannel is one of the best examples of this and they weren't recruiting this early back then. No telling who else might have slipped through the cracks!
