Once you get past the top 5 D1 schools, does it really matter? I agree with your point. My guy has been playing since 4th grade and is not a Junior. We did the big travel organizations for the first few years, and we got tired of throwing away all the money. He is on the "radar" for some D1 schools and has 2 offers from D3 and I think will go D3 in the end. A great education, the chance to compete and play and a college experience. That is the way to go!
