My son’s 12u rec team has 6 kids who will be playing in college. 3 of them were bench/sub kids who all throw 90+ but were just getting a feel for the game back then. The crazy thing is the first and third best players on the team quit playing after their sophomore years because they stopped growing at 12 and were passed up by bigger kids.
My son’s 12u travel team would have 5 kids playing in college but one is choosing football.
