you don't know that he hasn't. He runs FCV and has a great track record of getting girls recruited. He probably helped build GA. He's not going to leave. FCV has been around for a long time.

But we do know. My DD plays for FCV and there has been no communication.

Same boat, BP himself has even been vague often dodging the question. No confirmation of FCV retaining him, nor any confirmation of him departing.

This is terrible business. Look out for your DD - do not wait for BP

ECNL teams don’t have tryouts until March.

So what? I would be contacting coaches and going to practices. Happens every day. If you aren't doing it - you are going to be left behind. BP is not communicating anything a sure sign he is leaving.

Back then there was movement of girls between the clubs picking DA or ECNL and a lot of bad blood over it too.

And VDA benefited from their decisions. Their college recruiting is outstanding! When was the last time another kid was committed to Stanford around here? VDA is the place to be.

I'm familiar with who you're speaking of. People should never be so naive to believe that a club has that much to do with a player being recruited vs what the player brings individually.

Beyond that, the 2006G group that VDA has is their most impressive group. Their performance isn't a direct reflection of being a part of VDA either, that group could be coached by a random parent and it could find success just based on the amount of talent on it. I'm not entirely familiar with how many are directly from their associated clubs but I recall a lot of them came from elsewhere.

Its strange then that everyone claims FCV gets kids D1 offers but when VDA blows them out of the water all of a sudden the club is not relevant.

She has been in Europe for the past 7 yrs and played all over the place here - BRYC, LMVSC, Loudoun, Joga. Any local club claiming they developed her is full of it.

Any local club claiming they developed anyone is full of it. That's marketing the marketing plan though.

Then why do you believe BP developed anyone?

I don't recall anybody specifically saying anywhere in this thread that BP was the absolute driving force behind their DD becoming the player they are. What BP does well is with connecting players to colleges, and establishing an solid environment for players to grow. How they grow is ultimately up to them within it, and that's with most clubs to be fair. Some do it better than others, some don't.

VDA blows FCV out of the water when? The two clubs couldn't be more different and rarely will you find the two matched up against each other which is a whole other topic completely.

If you're talking recruiting, they both do pretty well, its not like one is way more advanced than the other.

I would argue that FCV is one of the top if not top clubs as far as recruiting goes. They place their top players in top D1 programs but they also are successful in placing the majority of their players (if not all) in college programs. VDA doesn’t do that. Even their 06 “super star” team doesn’t have that many placements outside their top players who would have done equally well on any other team in the area. VDA has a long way to go with recruiting compared to FCV and Union. Maybe now that they have Aaron Brunner as an advisor, they’ll do better.

TLDR for this thread:

We still have no clue as to what's going on and we're just grasping at straws. Something may or may not happen.

The VDA ‘07 class is the only year that VDA have had a better recruiting class. Loudoun 07s also had its best recruiting class ever. Meanwhile FCV 07s still have a good class but not as good as previous years. To top that off, one could argue Union had the best class of everyone.

Slow your roll VDA parent. You are not that special. Loudoun is on pace to have the best recruiting classes for 08 and 09s. VDA 08s are not that special and 09s are no longer on the same page as Loudoun 09s. You will need all of the FCV players you can get if any of this likely BS is true.

Plenty of speculation for sure, but what has been highlighted here doesn't sound good for FCV GA.

Based on the quantity of applicants applying for CC's old position (over 50 publicly noted submissions), I wouldn't worry. This board is pretty much all FUD trolling, with the occasional gem of good knowledge.

Loudon 08 and 09 aren’t good.

BP is leaving. If he wasn’t, he would have already said so.

Well I guess that makes everyone else in the DMV even worse so…

VDA 09 and NVA 09 played twice in the fall. Each team won a game 1-0. That looks pretty even to me.
