That team was part of a team in 2019-20 that included two 2020 grads who were starters on teams that went to the 2021 NCAA Final. I actually watched an ACC game where one of the 2021 grads from that team started. I guess my point is whether or not McLean is losing its shine or if 2022s are just committing later. The reality is that the current u18/19 team is not on the same level as u18/19 teams in previous years.

Did Covid not happen?

Did players getting and extra year of eligibility not happen.

Many factors go into this

I’m not a McLean parents (nor a fan) but that’s a silly statement. The 2022s (and 2023) are in unprecedented times with recruiting. Tell me the last time a recruiting class has gone through this.

But every other club, including clubs like VDA and Arlington, would not have kids announcing commits to Power 5 programs. Just wondering if the dilution in the area has caught up to McLean. There is a reason the club merged with SYC.

What’s with y’all and Power 5s? Stop clout chasing. Kids should be making decisions that impact their next 40 years….not 4 years.

Here’s your 2022 commits thus far

Nice to see VDA getting credit for one of the South Carolina commits when this is what her playing history is:
2012-15 played for Arlington SA
2016-20 played for BRYC Elite ECNL
21-22 season set to play for VDA ECNL

Lol OP. Your motives are showing. To paraphrase the above ... this is not an attack on McLean but the reality is that the current u18/19 team is not very good.

More announcements coming soon. Not to worry, McL is just fine.

All in the eye of the beholder. I didn't think it was an attack. Also, there are going to be ebbs and flows in the quality of teams over the year. It should be expected and simply pointing it out shouldn't be see as criticism.

Too many on here point to a class being slightly off the pace of previous classes and some sign the club is dying. Probably need a few more data points than that. Vice versa for clubs having good years. Also, should probably wait and see how McLean does with its recruiting at the end of the year, which when it is best to analyze.

She plays for VDA now. Should she list Arlington as her club? You could play the same game with McLean and FCV over the years. One of the darlings of the McLean social media accounts played for them for less than 12 months.

She committed while at BRYC.
VDA brought on 3 players already committed. Sucks for the club that helped get them committed.

Not really, they can post the commitments, I don’t think people really care.

Arlington taken credit for the Georgetown Commit from Metro?
FCV taken credit for all the outside players brought in?



By the way…the club didn’t take credit. It’s self reported. Got it champ?

So she committed under MW who is the current coach at VDA.

I am impressed by the McLean player who went to TJ and is going to West Point. That is not about soccer.
