But I dont know about 2024 and 2025 specifically. But coaches are everywhere and they are not there to go to championship games only to "discover" talent; almost always they have a list of players before they even show up at the tournament. So yes plenty of B players are coaches lists and they dont care if the team gets wiped out as long as "the player" they are watching does fine.

You missed the point. Nobody said B players don’t play college. Point is Coaches don’t watch games that are wipe outs and therefore the chance to be any so called list is greatly diminished. This happens though when B teams try to play in AA because that’s what the parents want.

Didnt miss the point. What Im saying is almost all Coaches have a list of players they are there to see whether or not they are on a B or A squad. It actually helps the B player because it allows the Coaches to size them up against A competition; they could care less about the outcome of the game. Everyone knows that club high school lax is more about recruiting and much less about the results. The Coaches are not going to tournaments just to watch the A teams and the final because they want to see a good game. They may do so in hopes to find a gem not on their list but their primary purpose at the tournament is still, to get through their list of recruits.
