Because of the MIAA transfer rule, will a school put a freshman on varsity just to lock him in?
Yes lots of schools do this.
And a lot of schools will play 1 or 2 public or out of state teams in the early season to get those kids into a game.
Playing a public school team or out of conference team would not apply to the transfer rule. It's only if the player competes in an MIAA game.
Playing in a game doesn’t matter for the transfer rule. Only being on a varsity roster.
It’s why so many CH kids transfer if they are sophomores on FS or JV- They know their chance at making varsity as an upperclassman is slim. And the chance of playing is zero.
