If you compare Arlington and MU college committments with McLean or BRYC, you will see a big differentiation. |

Why did you not compare Loudoun’s? |

Comparing legacy classes who were formed prior to DA’s formation doesn’t really count, does it? Those kids were in the ECNL systems prior and are not representative, other than FCV who carried their ECNL rosters directly to DA. |

Loudoun is not the benchmark for ECNL commitments, but it has more college commitments for 2020 class than Arlington or MU. |

Based on roster sizes? For example, MU placed 100% of kids in college, according to several posters here. I'll bet Arlington did similarly, though no one has posted in it. You can't do better than 100%. The original comment was talking about team quality, not college placements last year anyway. In that metric, the original comment is spot on, there's no differentiation overall. There are better in worse teams in both leagues, but overall it's a wash. |

Right, you should not rely on outlandish claims about 100% college committments by anonymous posters. Next year someone will say that MU had 115 percent of its players commit. At least, Arlington posts its college commitments on its website. Could you post a link to college commitment by MU players that proves that they placed so many players? I highly doubt it. Not every kid even wants to play in college. |

What is outlandish about placing every player in college? |

MU finished next to last in the league with -18 goal difference and only 1 win (Arlington was last with -34 goal difference). Unless Lori Loughlin was running their college recruitment program, it is hard to believe that college coaches were so impressed by MU's players that they recruited every single player from that team. |

Colleges don’t recruit teams. They recruit players. What would be outlandish is if it was claimed that MU or Arlington placed 100% in the ACC or PAC 10. You must be new to this. |

Looks like Loudoun is in for a banner year next year (2021) as well, if we want to play this game....

College coaches may recruit a good player from a bad team, but theere is no way that a bad team has 100% recruitment rate. Arlington does not claim that they have 100 percent of their players receive a college soccer scholarship- they only listed 6 players among college commitments from that class. You are claiming that MU, which had an awful season, has 100% players with college commitments. Either Arlington sucks at college placements or you are full of B/S. I guess it is mostly the latter. |

I don’t know how hard you think it is to play soccer in college if you want to play soccer in college. If Arlington claimed they placed every kid I would not think they were lying. There is a school for every kid if they want to play and work hard. If you are looking at big brand name schools only then no, but that isn’t what Metro claimed either. |

| It is not hard to play soccer in college. Plenty of D1 programs are terrible and several D3 programs are worse than some of the local travel teams. I’ve heard that in the past Arlington coaches helped very little with recruiting, but are turning it around this year. Metro has one coach who was brought in to run the recruiting and helped a lot |
