If the goal is more college recruiting then you’d want more ecnl teams regardless of how strong they are for the exposure.

Can’t have it both ways.

The forced merger had nothing to do with making a nationally competitive team. Why would ECNL care about this? Brave girls are not going to help Union and would not have helped this year.

The whole purpose of ECNL is college recruiting. That is their product. Everyone is buying.

Tell me you know nothing about DMV soccer without telling me you know nothing about DMV soccer.

This has been well treaded in the FVU megathread. Plenty of Brave wins over Union, and Brave 10s tied a top 10 team (World Class FC) in playoffs while Union 10s got blown out by Surf.

Of course Brave girls will help FVU. Their teams will look very different across the board next year, especially the 08s, 10s, and 11s.

Maybe stop chugging the ECNL koolaid and check out SYC. If you’re never going to beat the big west coast ECNL teams change leagues and get noticed.

You are not making sense. The worst teams in Showcase B had hundreds of coaches looking at them. The exposure on those teams is greater than GA can provide.

The same coaches attend both ECNL and GA events.

The one thing that ECNL clubs generally have over GA is their DOCs have more connections into colleges because they’ve been doing it longer. Which is ridiculous that DOcs hold the keys to players playing in college. Unfortunately is what it is.

Nope -- attendance at GA events is about half of ECNL events. While it is true that some DOCs have those contacts, there are ECNL clubs in the DMV where not a single call was placed yet everyone is recruited.

I guess we look at things differently.

For me all I care about is the top 10% of whatever league. The rest of the clubs are just noise.

My bet is that nothing changes and patents are 10k poorer "across the board" next year.

Brave sucked across the board on the girls side.

Why would you look at it like that? P4 is taking people from all 100%. D1 from all 100% Not just from top 10%.

None of that is why the merger was done.

Because if you're not on top 10% league team even if you can juice connections to get on a college team you're not going to see the field.

The transfer portal for players that don't fit in with the team they worked so hard to get onto (because they're not good enough) is huge.

Top teams tend to have the best players and the worst teams tend to have the worst players. I'm sure there's some anomalies but in general above is true.

I do not think this is correct. Not even close. P4 schools do not limit recruiting to top 10% teams. And the kids not on those teams start. Indeed if you look at most P4 teams most girls do not come from top 10% clubs. Georgetown Keeper is from Arlington. Started right away freshman year. They are a top team.

That is what happens when you take all the best players from a good team and put them on another team that already has very good players.

Recruiting players is part of the job but this isn't down to BPs coaching.

And no one is juicing connections. That is not the way girls recruiting works.

The Stanford team is just because of connections? Not because of their ability?

Brave sucked across the board on the girls side.

Careful, Brave Dad will go run to the admins and get any post he doesn't like removed.

Brave 10s are last in their group. So are Union 10s. Brave 08's are third in their group and wont advance. Union 08's won one game in the main draw of Showcase A. And neither Brave or Union 11s were close to making playoffs. FVU will be irrelevant nationally, locally we'll have to see.
