Should they celebrate and list a commitment made while at another club?

Seems disingenuous and falsely inflates their commitment webpages to make it appear they get credit. It could literally be an * by a name to indicate that they committed before coming to their club. [/quote]
I disagree. Unless the club says something untrue, I don’t see the issue.

Last year’s Paramount 18s had only 3 of 15 players that had played for Paramount  in a prior season. They “took credit” for commitments of several players who in many cases played 7 or more seasons at other clubs and only the shorter 18s season at Paramount. Was that ok since at least some were playing for Paramount at the time of their commitment?  Even though they got the overwhelming majority of their training and experience (and likely recruiting contacts) at clubs other than Paramount? Because the player made the decision while at Paramount, that means they get credit?

To be clear, I don’t have an issue with Paramount promoting these players, but I think this is a good example of the challenge in trying to decide which singular club deserves to highlight a players’ accomplishments. They played a part in those players’ volleyball experience and why isn’t that ok?[/quote]

Paramount did not take the credit for those commitments. I don't see one player listed in Paramount's "College Commitments" section that committed prior to coming to the club. You can go through it with a fine-toothed comb and you won't find one: https://www.paramountvbc.com/page/show/5380962-college-commitments

Metro, on the other hand, lists players who committed prior to coming to the club. If you go through their lists and backtrack it with commitment posts from other clubs, you will see that there are multiple examples of them taking credit for commitments without differentiating between players who committed prior to coming to the club vs players who committed while playing for the club. https://www.metrovbc.com/college-commitments[/quote]
