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.

Nobody at any club is making deals/promises. Parents and kids of the top caliber tryout clubs like clubs tryout players. They then make a decision based on what is best for them. There no NIL deals with middle school girls lacrosse (not yet at least). The girl that went to Coppermine last year did what was best for her and hopefully was happy with her decision just as any that went to HG, M&D, SW or any other team. The girl you all speak of- I wish her the best with whatever she does as I will for any of the kids because after all they are children. Let’s not forget that. Good luck to everyone this week.

They absolutely make deals and promises. Your money is as good as the next person’s money. It doesn’t matter if you have been at a club for years. They will take the next best player and promise what they have to to get them. Making them stay is the tricky part.
