@2025prospect posted:@fenwaysouth I agree with you. At 5-6th grade, lots of kids are only playing because they are forced. The kids I see being held back at 5-6th grade are decent-good on the small field with borderline illegal 2017 CF-Zens. Recently I’ve been seeing many of these “12-13u” studs start declining, especially when forced to use wood.
This is why recruiters/scouts (or really anybody with common sense) could care less how good the kid is on a small field.
