How many committed players are on Prep, Landon and Sta teams?

Don't know the answer, but the ones who commit for soccer do so on the basis of their performance with their club teams.

Lost 2-1. Crappy refs.

I think there are more lax commits on these 3 teams than soccer commits. Lol.

That is accurate. HS soccer is irrelevant to the college process, and the very top level players who play Academy (who make up the lion's share of DI commits) are barred from playing HS. There will probably be some who play DIII soccer and there are also some Division I lacrosse commits for whom soccer is their "second" sport.

Preview of the IAC championship game takes place tomorrow. St Albans at Landon. Bears looking strong, but the Bulldogs are always strong on the pitch. Should be fun.

Landon 4-1

Landon must be pretty damn good this year.

STA historically is a very good soccer program if not one of the best in DC.

Sounds like the game was not even close with Landon leading 3-0 at halftime.

Almost all of them, from what I've noticed over the last few years. Most who are on the oldest team will go D1, but a few to DIII. Many of the kids who drop out of/get cut from the DA after their sophomore or junior year end up recruited to DIII schools as well.

Here's DC United's list from last year: https://www.dcunited.com/post/2017/01/31/12-united-academy-players-sign-nli-national-signing-day

Here's Bethesda's, which includes commitments from some of their non-DA teams as well: http://www.bethesdasoccer.org/Default.aspx?tabid=200237&mid=228230&newskeyid=HN1&newsid=47769&ctl=newsdetail

Here's Baltimore's: http://www.sackick.com/home/baltimore-armour-college-signings/

Typically the rosters for the oldest teams will include a lot of juniors as well, but the clubs don't usually announce their commitments until they are seniors. Some of the players skip college to try to go pro (esp. from DC United).

Wow - for the most part (with a handful of exceptions) those are pretty undesirable colleges. Why committ all that time effort and money to a sport that can't even help you get into a top college?

For privates in the ISL AA, Potomac and NCS usually have top teams. This year, NCS isnt looking as good as in past years.

You must have very high standards if Haverford, Swarthmore, Wisconsin, Princeton, Georgetown, Cornell, Hamilton, Oberlin, William and Mary, and Penn are all "pretty undesirable." Those are from the Bethesda list. You also must be pretty green if you think that all academy-level athletes have the academic record for Princeton or Swarthmore; for those of us who are better acquainted with the idea that students display a wide range of academic abilities/achievement, it's not at all surprising that many athletes go to U MD, Gettysburg, or Penn State (examples from the Bethesda list), at which students can still get an excellent education.

The Bethesda list was the best, by far. Take a look at the other lists. As for the schools you name above, my student athlete would not find any but Princeton, G'town, Cornell and W&M acceptable.
