The best players get found regardless of the club despite what LE and BBL directors tell you. Perfect example: Brad Smith (Lakes, Duke, PLL) played for STEPS. Many D1 commits are found at showcases and prospect camps. The clubs will take credit for every commit they have and probably didn’t do much of anything to help most of those kids get committed. Active top 30 D1 head coach advice to my son: good grades is going to open up your options. Play for the best club team you can play for while also getting meaningful minutes. If you aren’t playing you aren’t going to get better or get seen. Attend a showcase or two as a rising 10th grader and a few more as a rising 11th grader but prospect days are best way to be seen by coaches you want to play for. And finally, it’s the work you do between practices that makes the biggest difference between a good player and a great player.
