Interesting article in the NY Times ( Committing to Play for a College, Then Starting 9th Grade ) about the expansion of recruiting among women's sports and the expansion of the recruitment of younger and younger players. I never played a high school sport at the level needed to have any sort of recruiting interest but I know that I would not have been able to handle/understand the implications of making a decision on my undergraduate destination before I even entered high school. Heck, it took me through my undergrad, and 2 more years of grad school before I figured out that I didn't really like the major I chose for undergrad.
Do any of the guys that follow the recruiting trails see any evidence of this in football or do the club teams just not exist? I know it seems to be the pattern in AAU/club basketball and travel teams for baseball, lacrosse, etc. My sense (and naivete) seems that with football the colleges and players at least wait until that sophomore season in high school to ramp up recruiting and really start the letter of intent signings.
Thoughts?
