[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]let's get back to the topic here...OP has lamely failed to specify the sport.[/quote]

The insistence and clever ways that you, on a number of pps, are trying to get the OP to reveal the sport at issue makes me wonder whether you are a coach at one of the  Big 3s afraid that your star athlete is on the verge of getting plucked.

I find this thread interesting, and for my DD, possibly relevant.  So anyone out there with helpful info., please do tell.  And I will not be sharing the sport either, in my case precisely because I am wary of getting our school coach all spun up.[/quote]

As for the rest of your post, I have a DD who attends a big 3. She and several friends are in the process of being recruited right now. The school has had nothing to do with it. It is all about their involvement with strong local clubs. This is where recruiters are looking for athletes and this is true for the majority of sports. Unless OP's son plays football her best bet is to get him on the strongest club team she can. [/quote]
Agree with most of this--do pursue the strong club team--but I will also say college coaches will still often call the HS coach, sometimes to discuss things like temperament, ability to balance school and sports, or other issues where seeing the kid 5-6 days a week in a school setting can be helpful.  Not to overemphasize this though; I agree with the quoted poster that for most sports the center of gravity for recruiting has shifted to the club scene.[/quote]
