Best indicator of what the colleges think of the importance of clubs vs. what high school you play for? Count how many college rosters online show what club each player played for. Answer? 0. How many show what high school each player attended? Enough said. High school (including how you perform in that high school's classrooms) still matters much more than what club you play for. Always has been, always will be.
There are several reasons why college player profiles do not tend to cover the club experience and the first and foremost reason is to avoid any appearance of recruiting violations. Since most recruiting will take place through the club scene, the profiles opt not to flaunt the material in the face of NCAA Compliance teams.
Second, some colleges do post club material if tied to a noteworthy national or regional championship having been won. Without a national or regional league structure in lacrosse (as appears in sports like soccer), the likelihood of club recognition greatly decreases.
