Interesting viewpoint!!!
ODP POSITIVES (+)
(1)Exposure; (2) Opportunity to play with other high caliber players; (3) Receive quality instruction; (4) Travel and face top competition
ODP NEGATIVES (-)
(1) Myth of "collegiate" opportunities - if you are truly a great player, they will find you, however this does give you added visibility especially for Mid/Lower DI and DII/DIII programs; (2) Cost - extremely high; much downtime at tournaments/camp; (3) Poor organization in many cases - especially in SC; (4) Some of the collegiate coaches still don't recognize the players (even after coaching them) and utilize the program for recruiting purposes as is often advertised and believed.
In short, it's all in what you desire, but ODP is beneficial as long as you keep the aforementioned in perspective!
