a lot of the politics would lose their impact if parents got it that they are financing a corrupt system. if you realize that its a crooked "playing field" don't participate. if the college coaches acknowledge that its a farce, just pick out the schools you have interest in attending, attend their camps and establish your relationship. the slots getting filled early will dissipate if theres no panic to commit or get committed early. no reason to give up club teams or anything else. just play to improve and have some fun without the recruiting b.s. just a viewpoint.
