Thanks Woody and CELTDAD!
We are getting a nice response to this poll. It looks like over 50% were on varsity as freshman.
To make it interesting, perhaps people can post about their respective sons.
My son was called up late season to varsity as as a sophmore and became a varsity starter as a junior. These things are relative of course. Mine had a graduating class of over 1100 and well over a 100 tried out for the freshmen team. We were thrilled with the opportunites he got including making the freshmen team and getting to play thereafter.
