Singler 20?

was that the three duke freshmen were all 18 in their final year of prep play. that is not unusual. I asked a friend who is a high school counselor and he said that in general, kids born between may and august often enter school at the older end of the scale because their parents don't want them to be just barely 6 in the first grade. when kids are held back because they are athletes by their parents, it most often includes a repeat of 8th grade.

If most college freshment enter at 18 and it takes an average of 4 years to graduate, wouldn't most underclassmen graduate at 22 opposed to 21?

If most enter at 18, most would begin their senior year at 21. And probably, since there are a number of months (where birthdays may fall) until graduation, a good number are 22 at graduation

Hansborough was born November 3, 1985 and was a freshman at UNC as of 9/2005 - making him 20 by the beginning of the '05-06 season. He will be 24 at the time of his class graduation in 2009.
