Serious, non judgmental question - “all three went to Paramount” did they just move to paramount this season? So another club developed and paramount ultimately gets the credit? That could also be the same for Metro 26 - x moved to Metro one season but that club gets the credit.

I see on another twisty turny thread discussion about who develops and who gets credit. And the same thread about kids coming and going in droves at top club(s) in 17/18 year…. So, not meant as a loaded question. [/quote]

Not the PP, but credit is always taken by the club they play for at commit time. Then, if they committed before U18, again at U18.

Lots of comments and analysis done on other threads about where development of players happened up to U16.  In general Paramount commits were much more likely to develop at another club (see comments about this year's U18 team only having 1 player that played with them from U16-U18 and none playing for them at U15).  Metro does better, averaging about 1/3rd of their 15 player U18 roster coming through Metro U15s and a slightly higher percentage playing U16-U18 (Although this year's U18 was an good outlier, with 8 of the 15 players playing for Metro at U15).

That's why you hear people get pretty salty about all the recruiting claims clubs throw out. Its highly likely that another club heavily contributed to a players recruiting success or even had them commit before they moved to a different club.  Us "old folks" who have been through the entire cycle eventually learn this, but new families coming in often focus on getting into one of those clubs at a young age believing it will give them the best chance of success.  Turns out other early paths often lead to higher success rates, even for future D1/Power 4 players.[/quote]
