Twenty years ago this was also the trend. I saw parents, at the high school level, move their child from school to school, because the coach didn't recognize the "talent" of their child. Both of my children played on state level travel teams. I never thought either of them would play beyond high school. I knew then that there were a lot more academic scholarships that went unused than athletic scholarships. That is true today as well. Parents, if you want your child to succeed, use 10% of the amount you would spend on chasing athletics and put that into academic pursuits. Much much more ROI.
