Do coaches take age of a recruit into account?

If there are two prospects with equal talent, will the kid that is still 17 his senior year have more value than a kid that turns 19 his senior year? Sometimes there's a huge change in a kid in that time frame. I never hear this discussed when people are evaluating prospects.

If their talent level's the same; they're valued the same. That specific age range in college has nothing to do with anything. College is just 3-4 years.

Give me the 19 year old... The extra maturity might help off the field

In football? No. In baseball, 100%. The 19 year old can leave once he turns 20.

You have to make sure that the kid is not dominating in H.S. just because he is older and more mature than everyone else. He may have reached his peak. I have had coaches tell me this is a factor.

John Curtis & West Monroe have been 2 of the more fruitful programs for lsu. shite I think Whitworth turned 20 as a freshman
