Of course, not every college program hanging out at those top courts will be in play for those elite kids, but there tends to be a pack mentality where the mid majors like to rub shoulders with the top programs (don't forget that many coaches are trying to network as to find/get a better job).<br /><br />Usually the top 10 programs are all competing for the top 10 players because they need a very specific height and skill set to stay top 10. The other players which you have mentioned as having talent and the ability to play college, they just have to correctly reach out to the those college programs appropriate to them. Often, these college programs which are a best fit, may not have the funding to fly out to California or they don't have the funding to go to every tournament (if they are in California). <br /><br /> Folks must understand the huge financial disconnect between the Power Conference teams and everyone else. The Power Conference programs say "what club tournaments should we go to" and everyone else says "what club tournaments can we go to".The Coachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08820642193954055733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5260203891028367770.post-47963395200278537042014-03-13T12:13:40.064-07:002014-03-13T12:13:40.064-07:00Coach, last weekend was a big tournament for 16U h...Coach, last weekend was a big tournament for 16U here in California. The college coaches literally parked themselves at the 4 courts where the top teams played. Many of these girls will probably have offers from at least 8-10 colleges when the clock stricks 12 on the day okay for coaches to reach out. Other than seeing if they are still improving as players, why aren't the coaches going to the other courts? You aren't a mind reader, and I get maybe they might just want to keep watching high level of play but there were a few girls on lower level teams who are pretty darn good but did not even get a glance. At least from where I sat and I had pretty good seats. I follow many of these girls from watching countless tournaments over the past 5 years and when I can, high school matches. I've watched their progression and while they might not be D1 Elite, they are definitely college caliber players.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
