I was surprised to hear that there were a good number of girls in the earlier time slot (2016s, not 2017s) who did get offers. Any thoughts on this? Would the league answer a follow-up inquiry? Just curious as to where they saw her/had her slotted.
Those girls were probably in the new futures program at Arlington. The more cynical DCUM’ers among us would decry this as pay-to-play $$ grab, but at the same time, the futures coaches (who were at the tryouts) know those kids well, for better or worse, and it may not be any more a naked money grab than all the ADP kids who eventually make travel.🤷 It can’t hurt to follow up with them, I’m curious to see if they mention futures as a reason.
I would ask them what happened. Seems like an odd turnout, as the later time slots were the more competitive girls.
I disagree that the second time slot was overall more competitive. But that’s just my two cents.
