You are absolutely correct about Spallina. The good coaches know it and the good coaches know when the dad is always involved getting his girl the cuddos. Let your girl be the one who goes unnoticed and crushes it later. Because true talent never stops working and doesn’t need the cudos and the awards backing them because their mom or dad made it happen with a few phone calls.

Oh stop it. Not a lot of talent gets overlooked and JS has brought in more Long Island players that were selected to Under Armour Underclass teams than any other program.

Parents have been complaining for years, the reality is that the large majority of players who get recognized by IL and UA go on to have good college careers at many of the top college programs.

Obviously if the majority of the players being recognized are also being offered spots by the coaches at the best college programs the players must be pretty darn good.

There are a lot more delusional parents than there are top notch players who get overlooked.

If the player is from LI the player will most likely not be overlooked by the best college programs. They get plenty of exposure.

Not many of the top players from LI get overlooked by IL or UA either.

If a LI player is being overlooked, then probably not promoting themselves enough. Or, simply not as good as they think they are? Most LI girls will “get seen” by virtue of playing on a LI team. Maybe it’s the club they are on? Are they getting seen where they are going? The individual player has to step up and do a lot of individual stuff as well to make sure to get seen, especially if on a weaker club.
