I chose Duke as example as they've had the past couple number one recruits, who they've utilized and had big seasons. Their incoming freshmen play a big role in the regular season and post season. O'Neil, McAdorey and Naso all played a huge role their freshmen seasons. Look at UVA, Nunes was a starter as a freshmen, Schutz played a big role as a freshmen, Kastner had a huge role as well. Brower for UNC, Kavanaugh for ND as well. The notion that these recruits, the various five star and high four stars aren't ready to play in the ACC and contribute to a winning team is ridiculous. These kids are playing more lacrosse, all year round, both box and field, combine those with the skill training that I constantly see leads me to believe that they can play a bigger role than anyone of you believe. Look at Michigan's Fab 5 as a example, unheard of at the time, but revolutionary and successful. Look at basketball as an example, with AAU, high school teams, other random high level leagues - tell me Paolo Banchero wasn't ready as a freshmen to play. Or look at SUs NC team in 2003 and tell me Melo wasn't ready. How many true freshmen impact CFB in important conferences, at premium positions?

Many of the incoming freshmen are ready to play, let alone start. Let them play, in my opinion.
