I don't personally condone this practice but there's no doubt that my biggest struggles when I was in high school wrestling was being a 14 year old freshmen going up against 20 year old seniors (the rules have now changed to where, once you hit 20, you are no longer allowed to compete in high school wrestling even if it's the day before the state tournament). There's a reason a lot of guys going pro after only 3 years in college are 22-23. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GA DOE is considering implementing some state-wide penalty system to discourage it. There was a session at the THSCA school this year talking about how it was affecting things and if/how there could be a change. The conclusion was it was bad and no one really knew how to stop it.

Sick when younger so had to skip a year family moved from another country had to spend a year to learn enough English to be able to understand teachers, etc.. What you want to stop is the Parents who intentionally held their kid back to give him or her a competitive advantage. The Rule that would stop the parents from legally cheating would hurt the kids who had a legitimate reason as they couldn't compete. Some time the administration is stuck between the proverbial rock and a hard spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should be a HS SR, he was held back in 7th grade to further enhance his athletic prowess over his peers. This isn’t me throwing shade, just stating facts. https://www.google.com/amp/s/usatodayhss.com/2016/seventh-grade-quarterback-aaron-mclaughlin-recruiting-sec/amp We used to call it, "his parents redshirted him" to make their son more competitive on the high school team. My experience was that it was done a lot with kids who played soccer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He puts a big arc on the ball and he looks like he has a big frame. Smooth north and south runner with some decent speed. Looks super relaxed in the pocket.

autan 737 Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Seems to be more excitement about our 2021 QB commit than the 2020 commit. Maybe it's because we should be set at the position for a couple of years. Hope AU can hold on to the big guy. It's a long time to 2021 NSD.

Its a new HS he is playing for and obviously they were able to do some HS player recruiting because our WR commit is from the same HS and he is the real deal too. The coach was a state champion elsewhere before moving to this school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paladin 3,305 Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Quote 2021 QB de-commits from Tigers By Keith Niebuhr 61 minutes ago Alpharetta (Ga.) Denmark 4-star 2021 quarterback Aaron McLaughlin is an Auburn commit no more. McLaughlin, who gave his verbal to the Tigers last summer, backed off that pledge Tuesday night. He's the No. 13 pro-style quarterback and No. 183 overall recruit nationally in the industry generated 247Sports Composite. Please respect my decision. Recruitment is officially open. pic.twitter.com/4X5mvNYMEj — Aaron McLaughlin (@11_apm) February 5, 2020 According to our intel, it was a mutual parting. Said McLaughlin in a brief interview with Auburn Undercover: "I just think I need to take a step back and look at my options. I'm 100 open to any program right now." Just last week, Miami offensive coordinator Rhett Lashlee, who once held the same position at Auburn, offered McLaughlin and it's possible the Hurricane could be a team to watch. N.C. State is another program that potentially will be in the mix. McLaughlin is listed at 6-5, 225 pounds. As a junior, he completed just over 60 percent of his passes for 2,018 yards with 17 touchdowns and seven interceptions. He added 284 yards and nine more scores on the ground. When McLaughlin committed to Auburn last July, Kenny Dillingham was offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach. Dillingham left for Florida State in December and was replaced by former Arkansas head coach Chad Morris. Morris visited multiple 2021 quarterbacks in January, which in hindsight might have been a bit of foreshadowing. Auburn now has three 2021 commitments. Five-star defensive tackle Lee Hunter is the headliner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mutual parting of ways likely means with a new OC & supposedly Chad getting to be in charge of his O, he likely has a different QB board than Gus &/or Dilly did.
