I agree this should be moved to a club discussion and not in the HS thread. However, as much as parents want to bash the clubs, the top programs place 12-18 kids a year into college programs. Of the HS teams most of the kids recruited also play for the top clubs. It is very rare that a college player did not play for a top club. Check the commit list of the top clubs, they are not just selling the dream, they appear to be delivering it as well.

If the dream is getting into a better School and/or being on a D1 team (freshman year at least) then yes, they are delivering on their promise. If the promise is making you good enough to actually get time on a D1 team, that's more dependent on a multitude of factors: genetics (size, speed), student athlete work ethic, and luck rather than club training.
