Private crew/rowing club teams recruiting possibilities

Heading into this year, we’re starting to worry that only rowing for a private club—and not for his high school—might make him less “recruitable” to college programs.

I assume the club team is stronger than the HS team? If the club has a history of athletes going on to compete in college, he won’t be less recruitable even if the HS is also strong in rowing and recruiting. He should compete where he fits best, gets better coaching, and/or can maximize his development.
