As far as a persons education is concerned, do you think a degree from a D-1 school is better than one from a NAIA school? I agree with you, my son would have been a prime example of holding back. But he already at the ripe old age of 16 has a college scholarship for 5 years. Red shirted for his freshman year then 4 years of playing. In reality, that makes it easier to get a degree while you college is paid for. A college degree from Pikeville or Alice Lloyd is just as good as one from Morehead or UK. Not being held back and getting redshirted means lighter class loads each semester. College is hard enough to graduate in 4 years without throwing in the extra time needed for practice, conditioning, open gym in the off season. Road trips during school when the sport is in season. It is very different than high school when your road trips are 2 hours down the road. You miss a lot of classroom time when your sport is in season.
