I’m all for kids staying put if they’re in a good situation.
And as for the development part, I don’t agree with that at all. Some kids no matter the coaching just aren’t good enough. If that was the case Nick Saban wouldn’t have cared about getting the best players in the country every year. He would’ve just took a team full of walk ons. Typically the kids who are your best players at an early age are still your best players as jrs and srs.
There is the exceptions to the rule both ways, you sometimes get 1-2 kids that develop late and really turn into good players and you also have those grade school legends who have fully matured by 6th grade and never get one bit better. But overall the best usually stay the best, and some kids no matter how well they’re coached just aren’t ever good enough ….unfortunately that’s just life. When kids from worse programs want to join better programs for the chances of winning, or better facilities or whatever, I’m all for it.
