This thread, as with all of them on this topic, has become ridiculous. The OP asks, do college coaches care.
Some folks with recruiting experience say, yes, generally, it's frowned upon.
Then, all of the recruiting experts who are parents of 10 and 12 year olds say things like:
- my DD would never play for a coach like that
- you people that don't require your kid to wear one are horrible parents,
- and, the one I like the best - it's simply not true, because any college coach who is not a moron will see past the mask, and realize how amazingly talented my DD is
So, fine, let us know how it works out.
There are folks on this board that have helped dozens, if not 100's, of kids move on to college.
If you don't want their opinion, don't ask the question.
And you should never make comments like put on your big boy pants on. You not liking the answer does not mean the answer is wrong.
But, this thread comes up every few months, and it goes the same way, which ends up in this ridiculous place, because everyone knows that parents of 12 year olds know all about the recruiting process, and what coaches say, whereas those who have attended many signing ceremonies are nitwits.
Do you what want, they're your kids.
Thanks for making my point, sorry your panties are in a wad. Be the adult, make a decision, live with the results whether it be loss of a D1 scholarship or a broken nose.
