Why classify a sport that has roster limits? In baseball the best 25 your school has to offer get to play. In basketball it's your best 15. You may have more to choose from but it's still an equal amount, best vs best. If the talent isn't there then develop it over time from Little League through high school by knowledgeable coaching. Football is the one sport that a team has an unlimited roster size and needs to be classified. Some will say it's 11 vs 11 which is true to an extent but you can use up to 88 players if you had a fresh 11 for Offense, Defense, Kickoff, Kick Return, Punt, Punt Return, Field Goal and Field Goal Block. If they limited it to a feasible number that every school can have, say 25, then I'd agree to do away with football classification as well.

You're right, the answer is to develope that 5'10" power forward into a 6'7" power forward. It can be done if you start when their at the youth level. The best 15 at a school with 1500 boys will be better then the best 15 at a school with 100 boys 95% of the time. It is a clear advantage.
