Virginia top college programs

[Anonymous]

Radner and NOVA cc have great programs

Ainsley McCammon should be there right now as a freshman, but she went pro at Seattle Reign.

I think a few of their senior/5th yr players stand a chance to go pro (Rouse, Cagle and Godfrey?). Moira Kelly had a short stint at Portland this spring and is not overseas somewhere.

Plus, they do have a new athletic training facility opening this fall. But true, it will be hard for them to ever compete with the big football schools going forward.

UVA has lost its luster specifically for womens soccer in the past 4 years. Great school. Terrible place to play womens soccer. No pro recruits (real pro no Jr pro(, haven't made it to ACC tournament, haven't gone far in NCAA tournament. Yeah.. they win a few games against Loyola, Howard and Fairleigh Dickinson but get stomped WF, Duke, FSU, Michigan etc. No facilities.
You can only live in your 2020 performance for so long.

UVA lost in the second round of the NCAA tournament last year. Richmond and William and Mary had losing records. What happened? Your little baby wasn’t good enough to get recruited by UVA? Let me guess, she got screwed at the ID Camp?

Come on. Stop the drama. UVA is really going downhill. The second round of NCAA is nothing to brag about. I have no skin in this. You need to learn communication skills.

besides the top 3 listed what are other programs worth playing at? d1, d2 or d3. any less known?

Ok. Here's my UVA take - They made the NCAA tournament last year after what I thought wasn't a great year and have a solid recruiting class coming in with some top ranked players that can make a difference. That being said, I agree that they aren't great when it comes to the facilities, athletic scholarship $$, etc as compared to other top programs. They are trying to ride the prestige of UVA overall to attract players which while great, isn't the only thing. Getting full offers (Tuition, Room & Board, Fees and monthly stipend) from other comparable D1 programs and then being told you can play, but pay in state tuition just isn't cutting it.

For women's programs, Christopher Newport should be on the list for D3 programs. They have been solid and made the Final 4 last year. Richmond and W&M - kinda group them in the same bucket. I'd pick W&M over Richmond knowing players and their experiences from both programs.

Totally agree with this. I don't think it's the players as much as the coach.

What do I need to improve on with my communication? You’re the one with the awkward post.

“Second round of ncaa”. Huh? Why are you mad?

Yep. I posted the comment that you replied to - need to get on the bus or get off when it comes to today's market and climate.

In other words they won one game. VA Tech made it much further. What's wrong? Did your princess not get picked at the Tech camp?

Your princess actually needed to attend a camp? I’m sorry. That sounds terrible.

I’m sure we have several delusional parents here that trek their kids to the money grab camps.

There are three different types of recruits in the pyramid.

The base is for players that sign up and attend several camps. They supplement the coach’s income.

The mid is for those players invited by a phone call or personal email after several conversations with the coaches. These are the players the head coach pays attention to. If you take off your rose colored glasses and watch the coaches these mid players are easy to spot.

The top are the players that commit without getting anywhere near a camp. They’re recruits in demand domestically or international players abroad.
