I’m on the West Coast. It’s uncommon, even unheard of, out here. Honestly, I’ve been around both the male and female recruiting for a long time and I can’t remember anyone being recruited to D1 (or D3) who didn’t play club growing up. Just look at any roster of any college that you’re interested in, the school will give you the resume of every player on the team.
But finding a “unicorn” doesn’t count.
