It's not about the 9th grade players committing early and the consequences of a 14-15 yo picking a college. It's about mom and dad standing under the club team tent, after having spent thousands of dollars, feeling like their investment paid off. They can puff their chest out and say, "you're just jealous your late bloomer can't go to Hopkins." And why would the club directors counsel them to wait? They can't wait to list it on their website to get more suckers in the pipeline as early as possible. Whole process is whacked.
i guess i am missing your point. you are annoyed because some people want to pretend they are better?
isn't that what some people do in all aspects of life? Avoid them and move on...has nothing to do with early recruiting...
example, if boy down the street was committed verbally to Harvard, but told no one, would you or anyone else care?
