Curious how clubs feel like Koopers,FCA etc that have had players for years and years then snaked out from under them. Having new club pretend like they should somehow get credit for that player and actually post on social media "Our Guy". Kids that havent even been on team for more than a week. Club owners/coaches and parents have to know how bad it looks and complete lack of class. Winning off the field means just as much as on the field.
ex: Koopers had 3-4 top recruits that have played with them their entire life and watch Parents sell out at the very end. SELL OUTS
Some clubs are great for development, but don't have the college relationships to line up as many scholarships/roster invites as other clubs. My oldest son made a move as described above and we felt bad at first (missed his boys, plus hurt his long time team), but you have to do what is best for your kid to get to the next level if that is your goal (plus as a family we saved money as the new club did not charge him).
I think both points are different. The players leaving are already high level recruits and dont need to go anywhere. These are already the top kids in class and have a ton of college relationships(DADS-COACHES)These are clubs that are run by Calvert Hall,Gilman, St Pauls etc.
Totally agree with 2nd post if a player doesn't feel current club can get him the exposure or training needed to get to a higher level no one can disagree.Thats not what this is.
Difference is the way it happens and in sports like the NBA \ if you cant beat them - join them is the lowest form of sportsmanship and competition.
Lebron never wins more than 1 Ship without seling out and stacking the deck in each city he plays in. Other top players think they will never win unless they team up with other top level guys instead of battling it out
ANd yes , having a club coach flip the bill for players and outside coaching piles on the stench.
