Moving on to a more productive discussion... Can someone help explain the recruiting process? How much is on the kid to contact schools of interest? How influential are club and high school coaches with guiding kids to schools? Are club coaches calling the shots or do the just guide and facilitate things? How does a kid know what the right level is, D1 vs. D3?

I'm not interested in debating which club it's better, just some general guidance on how it usually plays out.
