One thing that FCV does better then any other club or program across the DMV?

[Anonymous]

All these different opinions are why hopefully there is a place for many if these players. This one wants one thing and that one wants the other so it is a win win.

No, it’s not! It’s about the 25 top schools and how FCV is able to promote it’s players while surrounding clubs can’t. Let’s be real, if you not only get to go to a high skilled team and play collegiate soccer at the highest level and still get an amazing education you pick the low leave soccer program over top 25? who would do that? You mean to tell me your kid gets a scholarship at 70% to UVA you aren’t going to take it because GW gives you a full ride? If the answer is yes, your kid is middle of the pack and that’s why you have that mentality. Which is okay, but let’s not only pretend it’s because you want the full ride.

Your kid is not even recruiting age. It shows. Over hyped and argumentative.

Wait until you really start crunching numbers and considering offers before offering your opinion.

You are so right, LOL I have no understanding on how recruiting goes. Love it when you have an opposing view and the person on the other hand thinks it argumentative. Alright buddy!

The only Top 25 ranked school in the convo is Georgetown at number 5.

So, the only area club currently with a Top 25 commitment is Arlington.

And she was a Spirt/Metro transfer

How you like them apples?

Loooooloooooool

HaHaHa! That’s funny... But seriously it’s because all conferences haven’t finished the season yet. Just wait until after the spring season/tournaments are finished. It will change.

Spare us the “Big D1” talk.

Let’s talk real world and not photo ops.

Never GW that program is horrible. Georgetown is currently a top 5 school in rankings and in the Big east, so definitely Georgetown. Northwestern is in a power 5 school so if they are offering a full ride I would take that over Tech. However, it really depends at what level your player wants to play at and what future aspirations they have.

Well...surrounding clubs have those commitments for the 2022 04s. With more to come. So, the narrative is laughable.

Trying reading from the beginning and you wouldn’t be lost.

I am sorry, what? Narrative? Please try to make sense when responding.

Northwestern is not even in the top 100, GW not even on the spectrum since they aren’t in the power 5 conferences and are only sitting at 198, Georgetown is the only school that could even be considered a top school in this a topic and someone thought it wise to compare them to VT? Why even try to compare them to VT they are way over VT heads.

I don’t care about program rankings. I care about school rankings and money offered.

VT may be a Top 25 girls soccer school but it’s not close on school rankings.

Getting a walk on offer or 20 percent offer for a state school is cool. I applaud the kids. But I understand the reality which is they will probably sit the bench will paying to go to school when they could have gotten a lot more money with more playing time and just as good education elsewhere.

Hopefully you understand that not every kid is taking the highest program offer available..for many reasons.

I agree with 20% and sitting the bench, I personally wouldn’t do that but VT has great education and who’s to say that was the kids first choice and she feels like she wants to give it a try, work herself up to possibly winning a starting position and more money. Everyone has their own story to write out. That kid that got that 20% offer although low currently is way better off currently then the 98% of 04 who have received nothing at this point. That’s a scary place!

Agree with the first part. And by the way, I’m talking hypothetical with made up numbers. I don’t know what kids accepted.

However, I disagree with the second part. The 04s are fine and in lots of conversations with coaches. The dominions will fall this summer for them.

The issue I have is FCV dad (or coach) running their mouth about how great their players are and how all the other kids are left behind. It’s simply not true.

I 100% agree with you on that! Unfortunately, they can and will to scare families into staying or to try to save that business.

This is idiotic. Let’s refocus on how terrible FCV is.

Some poster on here thinks the most important factor to consider is the ranking of the soccer program and I beg to differ.

Don't know if that was you or another of the charmers on here but who cares. I stand by my opinion.

Who cares what you beg to do, high level players want high level competition they want to compete with the best. Totally different mind-set, something you obviously know nothing about.

Fabulous. High level students want high level academics. It's a win win all around. Best to your player and I mean that.

It’s hilarious that you think you can’t have one without the other. Or is it that you are trying hard to convince yourself that low level D1 is just as good as the high level D1 with great education as well. Nevertheless, it’s not your money or kid to bother you, so good night buddy.

This is different. We have superior promotion so playing in the highest level of competition doesn’t matter. Loudoun is a bunch of thieves so pick your poison

Going back to the original post... FCV gets those kids in high level colleges where it matters, everything else is a business and a stepping stone.

No. I said the exact opposite. I didn't even mention soccer. I said if my kid wanted to study engineering my first choice would be Tech. Period. Regardless of soccer. Furthermore, I'd pay the tuition (after 30% discount in the PP hypothetical scenario) over a free ride to GW.. Avg. starting salary out of Tech is higher, especially for engineers. When you add in the fact that Tech is an ACC school and my kid could play in that conference and get to go to big time college Football and Bball games and get to enjoy a full university experience (vs. that which GW offers), do real, meaningful research projects that make a difference (like Flint water issues), and get to experience the outdoors and nature and beauty of Tech, vs. getting car-jacked in DC, it is a no brainer if you can afford 70% of the tuition (which I can). BTW - you didn't express and opinion, you simply made a non-sensical statement about studying engineering a G'town (which no one said you could do). So while I may be a charmer, you're simply a moron.
