This idea of developing players is hard to measure. I think you look at the quality of training, the way that the teams play, parent and player satisfaction, and college placement.

Gotta add to that recruiting goes on at all clubs.

You've actually said little about your personal beliefs, just hinted at arguments that previous posters have stated. Therefore, I've based my arguments on the words of others, rather than what you just could have said in the first place. A vague comment such as "yeah you should play for CESA if you want to win championships" tells me very little about your standpoint, and I only could reply based on what I thought you were implying. I think I know a bit more of what you're trying to say now though. (And I definitely would give you the title of a troll.)

Just to clarify.. when I said trolling I was not thinking about the internet slang but meant someone who was looking about the website constantly. (no insult was meant, as you would note I mentioned myself as guilty of it, next time I will be more careful to cover the slang possibilities in my post)

PS gotta admit anyone who has that many avatars on hand is a little on the fanatical side

(I would change main but it seems very complicated )

Years ago, a Supreme Court justice struggled with the task of defining pornography. Ultimately, as I recall, he wrote something like: I know it when I see it.

Potter Stewart. I don't think he struggled at all with it. It was spot on.
