This is not a new thing. It’s been going on for many years. I’ve met very few who have regretted the hold back. On the flip side I’ve met hundreds who wished they would have. Not just for athletic purposes, but for academic maturity as well.

SHOCKING: A growing number of middle school athletes — mostly boys — are intentionally repeating 8th grade to delay their start in high school, giving themselves another full year to get bigger, stronger, and faster, which in turn dramatically boosts their chances at elite high school spots, college scholarships, and massive NIL deals potentially worth millions.

William La Jeunesse: “Of 8M high school students in sports only 7% will play in college.”

“On the other hand, the [likely] number one pick in this year’s NBA draft, [AJ Dybantsa], did 8th grade twice.”

CRAZY IDEA: How about we let more kids be kids!
