The 2023 NJ class is weaker than past years. For Leading Edge to have 1 2023 to boast about on September 20th is a weak year. And yes all other NJ clubs have zero on the 20th.
I really don't think the club develops the player. Club is a part of the development.
Formula:
#1 You are a great athlete and in more than 1 sport if possible.
Get on the best club team you can Get on the best high school team you can Reclass if you have to but colleges are catching on to this and committing to kids in their senior year. Practice on your own a ton. A lot of these kids on LE and Prime Time even have private coaches and that is a given for FOGO.
You can do all these and not be on a great club and get into a D1 if you have the size for that position.
