College coaches are looking at 8th graders. They are not looking at 6th and 7th graders. So when the kid they are watching play an 8th lacrosse game should actually be in 9th or 10th grade - of course he is going to stand out. He is physically and mentally more mature. The laughable thing about this holdback scheme is that in many cases the on age kids are more that holding their own against these man children. What does little Johnny do when he is a double holdback and getting beaten by a younger kid?
