I think this would be great for the good clubs who have good coaches and emphasize player development. If this were to pass and freshman and sophomore verbals were eliminated it would be a big blow to clubs that use the early commitments as their only currency.



To the first post:

* You sound bitter. There is obviously a market for club teams. They offer a product that some people want (you may not want it but others do). I have never heard of anyone being forced to play for a club team.

* College coaches are the ones responsible for early recruiting. No college coach has ever been forced to go watch 13 and 14 year boys or girls play lacrosse.

* It is not the club directors or the parents who created this early recruiting phenomenon, it was the college coaches.

To the second post:

* If the proposal is adopted by the NCAA it will only help the club teams. More kids will be playing club as Rising Juniors and Seniors.
