(mod hat on) I tried a couple of basic searches, and I couldn't find one easily. So I'm letting it ride. (mod hat off)

On every single team I've been on, we've had a graduate turn right around and come back the next year. (I was one of them.) I do warn the kids (from experience) that it's different and sometimes a little rough to make that transition, but we've been fortunate to have good hands among that crowd. What we entrust them with depends on their skills and the team's needs; in two of the cases, they coached at least part of a regional as freshmen. Other times, they've just been good hands working with us.
