Failing a grade, affects on recruiting?

Random comment thrown out by someone in GA in TOTAL jest:

"There was a kid that was throwing in the 90's while being in middle school, but that was because his parents held him back in Kindergarten, and he failed 4th grade, and 8th grade...no wonder he's throwing way high for his grade!"

This poster was totally joking, his kid is already in college so he's not a hater per see, but it got me wondering. While I do know that holding a kid back in Kindergarten does happen, what about the rest of that sentence?

If you fail a grade, let's say 8th grade since it's closer to HS, does that affect recruiting in the 10th or 11th grade?
