Because they have a solid nucleus of local talent, they don't need to rely on out of state transfers to fill their rosters. BL has a solid 9th grade already in the school, but they need to supplement. McD didn't even have enough players to field an 8th grade squad last year, so obv. they need to look elsewhere. Not sure why CHC needs to bring in outside talent due to the sheer number of players in their program, but I guess the coach isn't satisfied with the talent of the kids in his program and needs to recruit over them.

Solid nucleus of JV talent. Maybe 2/3 of the kids on that team contribute to the varsity at some point. Your son isn't one of them.

Don't worry about McD's/BL's 8th grade team. Worry about the freshman class they recruited. CHC needs outside talent because they don't have any local talent.
