[quote=Anonymous]That is an impressive list

Don't be fooled by kids committing and "signing" most are not receiving money, there isn't enough money on most college teams to give everyone money.  Some may get a scholarship split among a few players.

Many players around here understand that their education is a lot more important than sacrificing a top school that they can attend based on their academics than getting money or not to attend a school that is not as strong academically.

Many of these schools in warmer climates are truly year round programs.  Look how it impacts college football.  Your top plyers come from FL, TX, CA.

I also think the highly educated parents in this area understand that their kids academic path is a lot more important than saying hey my kid is playing at the 300 ranked university.  Many get merit money at much better schools without playing.

I can see playing at a top tier program but those programs are a grind.  A family member plays another sport at a top ranked school for both academics and athletics and they can't wait until the are done playing.  Sure they have fond memories but it gets to a point that you are just ready to be done with it.  Injuries, mental health and they are on a full ride with stipend.  [/quote]
