And any coach that blindly calls a club coach and recruits down a list is not long for the coaching biz. They will probably be running a club or tournament soon. I agree, give me an athlete, give me someone that understands field spacing and movement and give me a nice kid from a good family. You can have the rest. I'd also prefer to see how a kid plays for his h.s team. Give me 2 full h/s game tapes- one with your "best performance" and one against your toughest competition. Even better if that's the same tape.
I'll go back to lurking.



Well when I was talking about TY Xanders list it was just that A LIST not the articles he writes about kids. He has a link at the top of the page with all the kids and what school they have committed to. He also list the club/High school team they play for. This should be pretty close to 100% true. So how would you explain the same 25 clubs at at 85 to 95% rate for the classes of 2018 to 2020. Also unnamed college coach you ask for full 2 full HS game tapes. You want me to believe you just grab a in coming package of game tapes and start watching to full games. I would say that is not how you do it. You might watch these two full HS games tapes but not before a club coach or top high school coach calls you or you call them.
