[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's the same person in all these threads scaring everyone into thinking their girls won't be recruited if they don't play for Capital.

The last time I checked, you don't need to be on Capital to get good grades, attend showcases, and go to prospect camps.[/quote]

The top showcases are by invitation or application only. Who your coaches are and which club you play for weighs heavily in whether you will be selected or not. There are plenty of posts re: which are the top showcases so I will not rehash that here. The other showcases are basically garbage and a money grab. Additionally, it you play for a top club (Capital, M&D Black, Hero’s) you draw the most attention from colleges.  Just go watch the sidelines of the ‘27s this year and ‘28s next year for those clubs. I am sure M&D DC will get some attention as well, I just don’t think that a nascent program that is not in the top 10 is the basket to put all of your eggs in. It is a leap of faith at best.

You bring up a good point about the coaches and club influencing invite only showcases.  But the girls getting recruited to the top programs, they are getting recruited to those programs regardless of which club they play for.

When people say you need to play for this club, that club, to get recruited.  That is for the borderline player where recruiting connections are key.  If a girl is good enough to play for BC, UNC, or NW, they are getting recruited to those schools even if they play for a mid-level club.[/quote]

I am not a believer in the “you need” to play for a team or attend certain showcases in order to be successful with recruiting.  What I do believe, however, is in optimizing your player’s chances of being recruited which to me is by playing on the established top teams. I think a top player from M&D DC would get looks especially if KM is there in 2 years when they finally start getting looks. [/quote]
