Or how can it not be a recruiting advantage?   The athlete gets to know first hand the coach and the coaching methods of that individual.  

Of course in Louisville’s case he has had 6 or so transfers out in the past 2 years.

There are only so many spots at the national level.  The interactions between players and coaches are scrutinized pretty carefully.

I think an area of greater concern are the multi-year relationships between assistants who work on club teams and the players.  The key issue there is that the assistant will focus on the potential recruit rather than the other players.
