Great point!Silva is better imo. Not sure about Yeager but Silva is a holdback & that matters when factoring upside
I will take Corey, just my personal choice. I've seen both play a lot and both are good. He has some instincts that I havent seen in a PG in a long time, and it's natural. No disrespect to Silva, but if you put Yeager on that same Compton Magic Team he would be talked about on a national scale. Rebounds, tip, dunks, jump shots, steals etc. He scores a variety of ways. Like I said this fall, I will see how Silva competes against Sheldon when he is guarded by Xavion Brown. Because that's the type of length/athleticism you play at the next level as a 4-5 star recruit. Haven't seen a guard make it look easy like Yeager in a long time.Great point!
Siva a better shooter. But i am taking Yeager. In his right grade. Not a hold back. More atheltic and a better defender. More upside as a player.
it doesnt make a big difference for the kids who will graduate at 17 if in the correct grade. the ones who birthdate are prior to december. the difference is the kids who were born past december who have to wait to start school a year later. then in high school they are 19 their last year instead of that being their freshman year of college.What is your fascination with if a kid was held back at any point? It’s different for each player. Some kids start kindergarten at a super old age and aren’t a holdback but are super old. Some kids start kindergarten young and get held back in 8th grade. Silva has 20+ high major offers from the top programs in the country so obviously he has the size and skill set that coaches want. You don’t see very many 6-4 point guards with length who are elite ball handlers and passers and play like a pro out of the pick and roll. I think SIlva’s best basketball is in front of him because he is a pure point guard and playing with elite talent will only elevate what he does well. I haven’t seen a ton of Yeager but I like his game. Doesn’t shoot it very well though and with his lack of height might be a reason he isn’t being recruited very hard.

no but if they play fall or winter sport and turn 19 in april they got the extra yearWhich almost never happens to my knowledge. I can’t recall one case of a player being 19 in the first semester of his senior year in high school and being ineligible.

If it didn't matter then why do it. Fact is. Holding a kid back does help.
