Why won’t the top clubs be different in the end? Proven track records of recruitment success and money.

91/Express both have proven to be successful in the recruitment to top schools. And everyone knows this, not just Long Island parents. That’s where the money part comes in. Look at the older grades of both clubs: out-of-state parents with means to do so are placing their kids on those clubs during the recruitment years because of the track record of success in the recruitment arena.

Or is the recruitment success tied to them grabbing the out-of-state top kids, touting their commitments? If they were so good at recruiting, why dont they just keep their LI kids, why do they have to bring in out of staters?


You realize something like 1-3% of kids will make D1 at any level? Even less will get to the top tier schools in D1. So your team of 25 kids with those odds would be lucky and defy all odds to even have 2 kids at that level. The teams in question are looking to have 10-15 of those per year. They have to go outside LI for that. Business first.
