FWIW, during my son's recruitment (so pre-COVID...2019) three ACC and SEC coaches sat behind me at Lakepoint talking about reclassing and they all thought that it was overused. One coach's perspective was that there are only so many bullets in an arm and another's was that a lot of guys only get older, they don't necessarily become a better prospect. They all valued players willing to come in and work hard to earn playing time. Please don't kill the messenger. Just sharing what I overheard.

My opinion, college coaches value the players HS or travel coach over a player's age.

I also think the philosophy now with filling in using the portal is not necessarily players being older, but rather more experienced, as well as who they worked under at their previous program.
