I'm not sure that I agree totally with the statement that kids will be afraid that if they don't sign on with their coaches team that they will fall out of favor. Many of the more elite players have been with programs like the Canes/Stars/Braves for a while or have worked their way up into them and they know that while their HS program is important that it is these other squads that are really what gets them out there and seen. So I doubt that they would give that up simply because their HS coach might get upset. I just think that the Showcase circuit is such a powerful player in moving a kid to the next level that the top kids will not think twice. And do you really think that most HS coaches would drop that star player simply because he didn't play for him in the summer? It might affect the next tier down but not the top talent... Just my $.02
