[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t think anybody is making the claim that you can only play D1 if you play for Metro or Paramount. As someone mentioned, Metro has had the most power 5 commitments, but that is simply because up until the last two years with Paramount’s ascent, Metro has had a monopoly and stranglehold on all of the top talent, many of whom they pilfered from other clubs because Metro was the only club that could win and compete at the open level. That simply isn’t the case anymore. Several other clubs haven’t sent kids to P5 schools (including VAJRS)

The bottom line is that while players can still certainly play D1 playing for a club other than Metro or Paramount, those players will not be as ready to play at next level as a metro or paramount kid because they haven’t been playing against the most talented athletes on n the country. A player will only reach their full potential if they are playing against players who are more talented than they are. The only place you find that is in Open. [/quote]

Then why not call out VA Elite- they play on open as well. PP makes a good point that there are good clubs with very talented girls other than paramount and metro but the posters on dcum are obsessed with promoting them as the only path. It's ridiculous.[/quote]

VA Elite should be doing better so maybe that is why they are not really in the conversation. It’s like they are stuck; Paramount came way after them and have surpassed them to be the number 2 team in the region. Maybe it’s the players choice but a lot of them go to DIII schools.[/quote]

And to be fair, some very good D3 schools.
