At what level does it become worth missing your senior year 10K/year? 20K/year? 50K/year? I think it's ssad for the student/player, but at some point all these high end travel teams (lax, soccer, aau basketball) become beholden to the recruiters that help them justify there existence, as with anything else in life there's the quid pro quo part of the equation that needs to be factored in, ie I'll help you out with a kid or two that are on the bubble, but in return I want XYZ, which might include keeping their primary recruit off the field for their senior year and making sure that they show up in top shape or steering a kid to a certain program that might not be their first choice. Look at all the YJ players who are suddenly finding their way to University of Florida, coinsidebce? I don't think so
