I wonder if this is going to become a pattern for high school seniors who commit early to sit out their senior seasons to avoid injury. I understand the logic centered around you can't get hurt if you're not playing, but playing is the only way to get better. I know many feel the reason there are so many great prospects down south is the 15 or so spring practices for high schoolers and college coaches really value the extra practice time that the bowls bring. To sit out the entire season may greatly impede development.
