Quote: I don't know any men's college coach who goes to HS games unless it is to watch a player he has already identified through club.
I believe you live in your own club/ODP world. Fact is it's a lot of sources that men's coaches "find" their players. Through their own camps, working other camps, high school or club coaching contacts, ODP, all-star games, etc. There isn't one scientific way to be recruited but the more exposure against top competition goes a long way regardless if it is club or high school. There was a senior goalkeeper this past year that signed with a D1 school obviously based on his ODP or club performance because it certainly wasn't for his high school exploits!
