Committed to UNC. He attends Brewster Academy - is he a reclass/pg kid?

you really can't just say "nice job?"

pathetic ingrate!

You sure about 11/16 Philly Showcase? Website has Philly Freshman Showcase Team Invitational on 11/23. Are there 2 Philly Showcases?

Wish we could just say "nice job" unfortunately he may be a holdback cheater. Just want the facts before I say congrats. More and more cheaters out there taking spots from grade appropriate. SAD AND DISGUSTING! So is he legit or not??

Reclassed loser, figures!

Yes your Right They are Playing 23rd. thanks

Here we go again. It's not illegal and colleges are more than fine with it. The kid is now at a top tier school. You would do the same for your kid.

Really proud of UNC for this. The kid has been in HS for 1-2 weeks at most (or maybe starts this coming Monday) I guess they don't care about their academic reputation - no surprise the athletic department is constantly being investigated.

Admissions departments should be real proud for allowing Breschi to do this - I will no longer recruit/hire UNC grads - this is disgusting

When watching highlight videos I see a few things which I dont understand how a D1 recruiter misses.

Size mismatches. For large attackmen I don't see a lot of video against trained and developed D1 caliber Defensemen. A 6-12 inch height advantage will disappear. When evaluating a reclassified player I would look for highlights against mature/skiled defenders. Our team had an early to mature Attackman on our team who has regressed as the world caught up to him.

your post is spot on except that a kid is not getting recruited only on his highlight films, they might help get him on the radar but for a scholarship player, they will watch the kid in person many many times and that will far outweigh the highlight films. when my older son started sending out his film it led to many calls or e-mails inviting him to visit or to go to the prospect camp and asking for upcoming schedule.
2-Extensive use of free had to push off and get loose. Do they call wards nowadays? I see a lot of highlights that start with a push off of a defender with a free hand. Why are people publishing these non goals as highlights?

Show me a highlight video of an attackman who consistently and cleanly beats top d-poles from a grade older than his (without cheating) and I will understand the drive to early commit the player

Maybe not illegal, but not ethical, but what the hek, do it because you can! Problem with USA kids/parents in general! Sad to see the direction of our country mirrored all around us!

no less ethical then a 93 GPA, 1200 SAT getting into Harvard because he is a great lacrosse player, when he could never have gotten in as a regular student. I doubt historians will look back on the down fall of our society because of all 150 or so 15 year old 9th graders verbally committing to university.

Would never happen at any of the IVYs, don't even go there!

Colleges do not give scholarships to kids based on highlight videos, it is part of the process and usually just a way to get into the conversation. When my son was being recruited by a top school they must have seen him in person 12 times, prospect day at the school, individual showcases HS and Club teams games and he was seen by 3 different coaches before an offer was made. I agree with you about the highlight videos and can not believe some of the kids put on theirs but it is a small part of the process

Someone posted about "prospect" camps at some top schools.

I just saw this for Duke for 2017's and 2018's:

Is this a "prospect camp" or more like a summer camp?

Just curious because I'm new to all this.

Hi can anyone here help me? Yesterday I took my son to the 2018 tryouts it was ran very well 7 if not more evaluators However a man was handing out fliers with some discouraging comments also heard the cops may have responded What's this all about. I really liked what I saw as a team and organization but this other aspect bothers me

what organization?

I think a little bit of both. All of these can be a great way to get in front of the coaches, but when possible I would always try to have it warmed up with at least an email prior to going, and the best case scenario would be a call from one of your coaches to see if they have seen your son play and generally feel them out about their level of interest.

Great team. Great coaches. I wouldn't worry about the drama.

Based on who has registered already from my club, sorry to say, but this is just a summer camp.
