Reply to "What's the benefits/risks with keeping a player back a school year?"

 My son, with a May birthday was recruited by a couple of private high schools. They wanted him to repeat 9th grade. He was 5’11” 135 freshman year. Skills and recruiting wise for college his metrics may have been better for his grade being one year older. But maybe he doesn’t start until junior year due to the team has a roster full of these kids of kids. He stayed at his high school and started varsity soph year. Academically the gifted program at his highly regarded high school was better than the standard academics at the academic privates. College ball worked out better than he could have hoped anyway.
