Re: BU Recruiting Update, Part 4
I was looking at the U-17 Roster to check out the 4 future Terriers, and I couldn't help but notice that Malcolm Gladwell's "Outliers" theory sure seems to be holding true for the 2000 birthyear:
January birthdates: 4 (includes Weiss)
February: 4 (includes Farabee and Wise)
March: 1
April: 1
May: 3
June: 2
July: 2
August: 3 (includes DeBoer)
Sept: -
Oct: -
Nov: -
Dec: 1
Note: 1 player has no birthdate listed. But only 1 out of 21 were born in the final 4 months of the year (Trevor Janicke - on Christmas - must be why he is committed to a Jesuit school ). And more than a third were born in the first two months.
I am sure there are rosters our there that don't fit the mold, but this one sure does...
