This. I think it just needs to be said here. The FSU player is Jaon's daughter (soccer connections). The UCLA player's father is a former university president (academic connections). And one of the UVA players father is an owner of DC United and a former owner of the Spirit ($ and soccer connections). TO be clear I am sure these players are good and sincerely not taking anything from the hard work they have put in. I am not saying they are not deserving But let's also be transparent about the support they've gotten

But your post does take something away from these girls by suggesting that their parental connections had anything to do with their commitments. You should be transparent that you are an adult who clearly begrudges these girls their well-earned success.

All of these girls are way, way above average players who committed early to three of the best programs in the country that each get their picks of the top players nationally. Jaon’s daughter has played up and still been a standout. The UCLA player was getting called into the national team programming before tearing her ACL. (And do you actually believe that the former president of a small school basically unknown outside VA has sway at UCLA?) The last girl you mention, whose dad does have soccer connections, has regularly played for the USYNT for the last two to three years. UVA is lucky to get her, not the other way around.

Congratulations on privilege!

So now kids are “privileged” if their dad is a soccer coach?

If daddy can buy a spot at Duke or ucla, that’s privilege.

got 2 to Duke.

Look the point is if you’re an owner of DC United you are going to have $&$ and contacts that most of us can only dream about. I can’t even imagine be ruse it is so far from my current life. But hey that’s how the world works.

I heard JA created the entire Union recruiting website for his kid. I mean it’s for all the players but that was his motivation. I don’t have the link but someone can post that it is very well done.

Just gonna throw it out there that having this much info about minors readily available to anyone with the link concerns me.

Haven't seen anything like this before. That is a good recruiting and showcase tool for sure.

Every ECNL club has the team brochures. Prior to 2020 they werent quite so "online" but they did exist. 2020 make everyone rely a lot more on websites, insta, etc. It's not uncommon at all. In fact, it's the norm.
