Small college coaches definitely take a look at kids during their junior year
I don't know how I feel about the class system. I know if there were a class system in place during my senior year I would have been a state champion. I finished 3rd and the kids who got 2nd and 1st were from Franklin Community and Mishawaka. However, I am happy with the school I attended. On the same token, I made a mistake my junior year and there were not WRESTLE BACKS(haha another debate) so I was knocked out at semi-state. Again with a class system I would have placed considering I lost to a Merrillville kid and I went to New Prairie, which has approximately 850 students at the time.
Having a class system for teams is definitely needed though! I am just not sure how I feel individually. I know that small college coaches DO look at kids' junior years, so in terms of the student athlete, it would benefit them.
