[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where have these posters been all year?  There's been a full on assault by the Cap machine on another club's team, saying the only way they can get recruited is if you allow Cap to hoodwink college coaches into taking you.

[/quote] Hoodwinked?

Your point about honesty is critical—no club or coach can  “hoodwink” college coaches. College coaches are savvy evaluators; they’re not fooled by empty hype or inflated reputations. They review transcripts, verify stats, and assess film and go to tournaments long before offering a spot. Ethical clubs know this. 
 Here’s the reality:

1. Clubs can’t fabricate qualifications. If a player lacks the GPA, SAT, or lax skills for a school, no amount of club “connections” will change that.   
2. College coaches prioritize transparency. They’ll ask directly: “Has she taken AP Calc?” “What’s her unweighted GPA?” “Is she a team player”? “Are the parents annoying?”“Does she make the right pass“ ”Does she move well off ball?“
If the answers don’t align with their benchmarks, the conversation ends, regardless of club affiliations.  
3. Reputable clubs thrive on truth-telling. Their credibility depends on accurately representing players. If a club exaggerates a player’s ability, college coaches notice—and stop trusting that club’s process for recruiting.

For your daughter: Partner with a club that prioritizes realistic guidance. Ask questions like:  
- “Will you tell us if a target school is unrealistic?”

The right club won’t promise miracles—they’ll stress the work required. At the end of the day, coaches recruit players, not club logos. Focus on her grades, grit, and growth. Excellent GRADES open many opportunities whether the player wants high academic or not.
