For those that say "every good program" has hold backs or multi hold backs for a few questions.

1: are you talking MS or HS or both?

2: What percentage of starters/major players are you saying are hold backs? Out of 22 spots when you combine O and D how many of those spots are hold backs? How many on the MS level and how many on the HS level.

Now this might hold true of "good programs" on the lower levels (MS) or lower classes. I also know that a number of the programs that win and play for state titles on the HS level do not have kids that are holdbacks. This is not a guess on my part. I know schools like Trinity, St X, Male, Lex Cath, Highlands and a number of others this is not the case.

Now what some say are good programs on the MS level. Well when 8th graders are playing against freshman teams then your program better be good.
