Telling the guy to ignore CH, BL, McD stm because his son won’t play is the biggest participation trophy lost mindset I’ve ever heard.
Those schools are always top ten in the country - and manage rosters accordingly.
Sheesh. Hit the wall.
Ignore these schools unless they pursue you. They recruit who they really want. Don't reach out to them. Otherwise, you'll be practice fodder.
Could not have been said better. If this were to be put into practice the rosters @ McD, CHC, LB, BL, StP, StM would be significantly smaller. There are legacy considerations. There may be some academic considerations, such as more money from one school or course study. Beyond that go talk to the remaining A conference and even the stronger B conference coaches. They would love to talk to you based on this logic. They scratch their heads at all the cleans uniforms that stand on the sidelines at those schools. There are high quality players at the above mentioned schools on the depth chart from 18-30ish that could make a serious impact at other schools. Those schools only play 16-19 players or so on any given competitive game in the MIAA. Those coaches know that they are keeping many of the remaining players from being great and playing at other schools. Rosters at the schools mentioned range from 35-55. Most being over 40 and some over 50. That is 50-65% of the roster that never plays. This is high school ball for crying out loud, it more fun to play than watch if you are in that top 30 on the depth chart. There is greener grass out there-go find it.
