Is that what the Husel coaches are spinning for why they left? I heard the director bad mouthed about them to another parent, saying one was a terrible player and she would never support them in recruiting. Director then followed through and didnt take them to a showcase tournament. These were all met and all state players. There are multiple stories in a similar vain I’ve heard that have us avoiding them even though it would be convenient[/quote
There is not a singler All-Met or All-State player from Husel who left and went to NL in the last two years. Now you're just making things up. Were these 2023 players? 2022?
Not made up, the two that left for NL bc of the cra cra director trash talking to other parents were 23s and were all met, all state
Not sure why any of this is relevant, but them leaving Husel has nothing to do with why they weren't recruited. There are quite a number of strong, D1 recruits who aren't on the all-met or all-state selections, which goes to show how they are just driven by high school coaches, who are each given a number of players they can select based on the team's performance, and largely favor public school and WCAC players. If they were strong enough to play D1, they would be playing D1.
Disagree. Having seen recruitment up close, ability is only 1 factor to get you recruited.
Agree that the rankings largely don’t matter.
