Re: Middle School Recruiting
The coach at UNC addressed this in the opening ceremony for Dallas International cup.
The coach that doesn't do it misses some of the best talent- those are the ones most likely to go in the 8th grade-right?
And either party can back out prior to actual commitment day their senior year. Is that not also right?
Seems that recruiting 8th graders is a pretty rare thing compared to all the girls who ultimately end up being recruited.
So I am not seeing what the issue is...
