Nobody leaves a club in 8th grade to go to another club with a lesser recruiting track record. At this point, it’s all about prestige and recruiting, which should give you the answer if you think about it.
While this may be true for very good players, outstanding players like the MDU player would be recruited from almost any team so she can go where she wants. She also has solidified them as the best team in the country and pretty sure coaches will go see the #1 team in the country even if they don’t have a strong recruiting history. M&D relying on their name to get top players to leave their clubs while Coppermine makes deals/promises. Worked last summer with top player and worked again this year.
