Kallum's piece on recruiting is good. I had heard that women's programs got 15 full rides and men's only 13 but wasn't sure it was true. This clarified it.

Putting off club play for most girl ballers is an excellent idea for all of the reasons he calls out plus it avoids unnecessary wear and tear on their bodies as they grow. The real problem with club ball is the pushy parents that never played and don't know better.
