it's true. Girl recruited when she played b team. Moved up to "blue" after committing. Not all Blue kids get recruited easily for top schools. B team top players are recruited before bottom blue players. Put your child where they are happy and play (and can shine with confidence). It's about development. Coaches will notice your child if you put the time into camps. Also, top D1 schools are a not always a good fit for most players. It's a full time job on top of school. These kids are being recruited before they discover high school social life. "No drinking" contracts and early morning practices are not high priority for most college kids.
