Why would anyone spend $3K for an elite helmet and 2 minutes of elite PT per game, on the insane hope that a coach will see your son's 2 passes per game? The bottom 2/3 of Elite club rosters are getting recruited the same way the AAA and AA kids are. Which is "hardly at all." That's as nonsensical and even more delusional than paying AA and AAA teams for that purpose.

Agreed about summer league, but ironically it's been tried multiple times and all of you elite-adjacent dads refuse to sign your kids up because "it's all rec kids." And heaven forbid your Psuedo Mini Rabel is photographed with rec kids!
