The downside of Brunswick's schedule is that 20 of their players wont see the field all season - there's no easy game. Last year the starters couldn't put the game away (most of the season) so by default the subs never played, it was a long season for many!
Unfortunately, that's the reality for most. Good teams playing other good teams means tough close games and bench players sit.
That is why, unless you are 90% certain you are going to be an ACC/IVY/B10 player, you should question the notion of going to Brunswick, AOF, Salisbury, Deerfield,Taft, Lawrenceville. These schools over recruit crazily. Coach will text you a lot when applying as a 9th grader, but you are not alone and each year there will be 5-9 PGs added who are already committed to the above mentioned programs.
And most kids/parents will overrate their talent. These will be kids that are really, really good and would be top players on their public school teams. However, they might sit on the bench at the above mentioned schools for at least 3 and maybe 4 yrs.
For nearly all kids who are great (but not elite) players, choose other schools that play at a similar level of competition, but you’ll see the field. Schools like Hotchkiss, Choate, Loomis, Andover, Exeter, Berkshire, Westminster, others.
