This is related to the level of the club. High level club, more players interested in playing in college. |

I would say that 95% of ALL club players want to play in college despite the level of the club. A good example is the Hammers! They have just as many commits if not more than Metro. They may be mostly D3 commits and not D1, but the players are still good enough to get committed and play at the next level. (Please no negative responses from Freedom posters.) |

Everybody loves Victor. He attends events and does follow-up like no other college recruiter. He does a great job of making a case for Bryn Mawr. But, unfortunately, even he can't get top players to want to go to such a progressive women's school and that team isn't really on the rise. It's a great school and a wonderful program though. |

If he can't recruit b/c of what you say, it's because people are simply buying your silly narrative. It's a women's school but there are men in classes. And the women can attend classes (incl major classes), activities, and events at Haverford, Swat, and Penn. It provides an amazing experience on a lot of levels. They have done really well the last couple of years athletically and I expect them to continue that trend. Luckily, people are starting to and can look beyond the talking points of "progressive women's school." |

Looking forward to watching this weekends NITQs since most teams that have been discussed are playing from Next Level, Wolves, Metro, Alpha and other top clubs from PA/NJ. It will be interesting to see roster size, playing time, skill, coaching style across both u16 and u19. |

I also don't want to derail but the other PP was annoying. BMC may not get the top WC talent (and may not be Midd or Hopkins) but they are getting good players. Current players there said their clinics are getting 3x's as many attendeed as in years past. |

Husel is also playing. |

| Question - Isn't indoor completely different from outdoor? Can you judge a club based on their performance at NITQs? or even NITs? |

Yes. Different game. And it won’t tell how a club does in outdoor, necessarily. But the traditionally strong clubs are strong in both bc their players are the best. |

I wish all the players good luck! They all want the same thing, to qualify. Hoping the weather cooperates. |

What it will show you is the teams dynamic, coaching style on and off the court, how the team subs in and out players (indoor should be more sub cycling because of the fast pace of the game and if coaches don’t sub very often you know they really won’t do it in outdoor). The top outdoor clubs do well indoors too. Although a different game, what indoor shows you are stick skill fundamentals, if the team has a strategy (press) and how conditioned the players are. Also it shows you who the leading forwards are because it’s all about shot speed and ball placement accuracy on cage. You clearly get to see the coaching dynamics clearly because of the smaller court. |

Let’s see how the DMV clubs do after the racking and stacking happens after the 3rd game. What bracket you are placed in after the 3rd game will tell you how strong the team is. For those that aren’t going they stream many games live for free so if you want to do some research on teams before joining, this is a good opportunity. |
