And they are unlikely to pick up good, new local players from NextLevel or DCE, because families on those teams know about the culture issues. expect the ML 27 team to be flooded with players from Dallas, Kentucky, NC, etc. over the next couple of years.

I agree with the previous poster, that I don't really know how you can tell who will be recruited at that age, but you just listed 8-9 players - which sounds like a lot to me.

By MadLax standards, 8-9 players on track to be recruited is extremely low. And yes, you can predict in 8th grade which players will be of interest to college coaches. Coaches begin making their lists at showcases and prospect days in 9th grade, and then watch closely in 10th grade, because commitments begin on September 1 of 11th grade. It is not hard to watch an 8th grade team play and predict which players will be worth watching in 9th and 10th grade.
