+1 Our DD (Maryland private) HS coach gets a lot more attention from college, by that I mean a few more phone calls and longer conversations, than some of the HS coaches from her teammates because he is connected to the club scene and even coached a few current college assistants. But other HS coaches get calls still. Grades, work ethic, how they are as a teammate - especially when it's a big fish in a small pond for some of them.
