Loss of last year's Seniors create rebuilding year

[ballplaya32]

Is it just me, or was last years senior class better than this year's?...it seems like a lot of schools lost a lot of talent and are rebuilding due to the graduating of last years class...It just seems like there was a lot more talent in last years class than this year's senior class...this is not a cut at some of this year's top Senior players, i am just saying that as a whole the 2002 group was a very strong class that any following class would have trouble competing with....thoughts on that?

I agree 110% with you...... I have said just that before, and I will say it again as well..... But: watch out for the Class of 2004 which could be a Major Class for Tn. 2005 looks to be absolutely LOADED at the top, but looks to drop off, and might not have the depth of 2004. Early indications are that the Class of 2006 (which I really have not seen much of) may end up being the best of them all, behind an absolutely Loaded West Tn class............ As for the 2002 Seniors, the Class hit hardest is definitely Class A. This Class has been absolutely descimated by the loss of Top Seniors, which is allowing for a ton of parity this year in Class A......

I definitely agree about the drop off of single A ball...just look at Pickett County, DCA, Westmoreland, South Fulton, Ezell and so many other teams that lost talent...and whenever a big class leaves single A ball it is a lot tougher to rebuild than at a 2a, 3a, or div 2 program; just because there is not a whole lot of people in the schools to get more players...and I also agree with your statement about the equality amongst many of the single A districts, it should be a very interesting season, especially come February...
