No dog in this fight but this is hilarious.

The parents on this board have some wildly inaccurate perception of the importance of club recruiting directors. They don’t have some magical superpower to get a girl recruited.

I’ve had D1 college coaches tell me they are not impressed with some the club staff held in high esteem on this board.

The phantom parent that has spoke to their D1 pal however is still on an anonymous forum searching for answers.

Long run I think M&D DC is gonna make Capital irrelevant and even defunct, but agree we are quite a bit out for that happening.

How? It’s not a well run program overall. Poor communication, inconsistent coaching, no focus on player development. How do you see it getting better?

It is pretty funny, and the group here and probably other places (the sidelines?) is pretty "committed". 24/7/365. They do speak about having to keep them within arm's length if they do have players/a team of players that they like. Begrudgingly keep the lines of communication open with all the pings they get.

Ironically, it's the director of team(s) down the list that alert them to a high end player or 2 that might be underscouted that's the most valuable. That's where relationships or trust can help.

Fortunately or unfortunately, there are naive parents that they cater to whose FOMO is easy prey.

How? Pride thought they'd dethrone Capital with their 23s. That team had great talent and actually stayed together: four years since that class committed it still hasn't happened. YJMA has been saying this ever since they launched - hasn't happened either.

I can only speak from experience in saying that Capital's RC helped my daughter understand which coaches were highly interested in her (versus those who just wanted to keep her close in case their tier one lists didn't pan out) during her recruiting summer. Instead of wasting time and money attending camps at schools where she was a second-tier choice, we focused on schools where coaches had her as their top choice. It actually was really helpful and my daughter wound up committing to a top 25 team.

Of course recruiting director’s matter. That post is fake news.

If RCs didn’t matter, all the genius DC parents on here would do it themselves…can you imagine?

This has been my experience as well. The recruiting director is a glorified scheduler. The club director really has the influence. Depending on the team coach and their relationships, they may also have some influence.

To your point, the RC didn’t have influence on a coach. They were important in planning the approach to recruiting. I believe the previous poster was getting at parents who believe the RC has some ability to magically get players recruited.
