He is the epitome of a holdback. His strength and speed are 1-2 years ahead of his class. Should be interesting when he plays against kids his own age in high school. My guess is slightly above average midfielder.
Correct, And that is why he is a holdback. He has gone from a decent unknown player on age who may struggle at times to an above average player that is in the discussion. Holding back works and always has for many. If you want to play at a D1 level, you have no choice, hold him back. Sad but true state of lacrosse now.
The rules should be changed to letting everyone a on age play down a year of the Sept 1 on age start of school.
That way it is by a certain date and every holdback can play with his grade ( one of of the holdback complaints) and anyone on age that wants to play like a holdback can. In the future the on age may want to holdback.
