A big part of the connections is made through coaches and recruiting directors. Another big piece of connections is where each recruiting classes predecessors land. For 2024s, that be the 23s. The 2023s will stick in coaches minds when looking into the 24s, the 24s for 25s etc.

Actually a little surprised by the apparent lack of players committing to Top 20 type programs as well as lack of kids committing to for lack of a better term high academic schools. I would speculate that you do not have every 23 from the island but even so I thought we would see at least a few more go to the top programs as well as top academic schools.
This does not bode well for Long Island players or for your point that college coaches will look to the clubs they recruited from for the class of 2023 as a some sort of guide to what clubs they will recruit from for the 24s, 25's etc...
Most of the Top Programs are done or close to being done with their 23's and unfortunately Long Island appears to be under represented. I count 14 top tier lacrosse programs and another 3 top tier academic schools that are not top tier lacrosse.
