He is going away from full D1 for 2027 and now only focusing on P4 D1 (as it makes the ECNL argument easier). Regardless, even using 2026 data that 1816 players committed to D1, almost 50% of the commits come from 45 total clubs (ENCL and GA, obviously ENCL is leading).

The entire notion is ECNL gets you to D1 - but it's truly a bunch of clubs that do. The top 80 clubs (all leagues) in the country account for 1186 of the 1816 commits.

The class of 2027 would be a step up in total D1 commits for GA (thus the reason IMYS is only doing P4 for 2027) and it would grow by every class. ECNL will be still be the best overall as they have the big, big clubs. But the fake unbiased opinion of IMYS is an old shtick at this point.

He literally just did a post about GA Clubs and D1 commitments.

Ok SYC 2013 Dad. Have fun in the 4th bracket of Jeff Cup:
Top bracket: 1 GA, 7 ECNL
2nd: 5 ECNL, 1 GA, 1 Aspire
3rd: 4 ENCL, 4 GA
4th: 6 ECNL, 2 GA

Jeff Cup is run by an ECNL club. Obviously, they will take care of their buddies.

True.

GA visors are going to be so mad when they see the latest post from this guy. He’s just sharing data though.

ECNL attendance has also been in decline. But of course he won’t post that data. What is it called when you cherry pick data to fit a narrative?

Fake news.

His data is trash and using AI to create graphics. This guy is legit such a loser and main character

Last night the IMYS took down his instagram account. He had posted the above graphic and then fought in the comment section with anyone who had a question about his method for gathering or presenting his data. It was very clear from his comments that he is acting as a propaganda arm for ECNL, not a credible or intelligent source of information.

I saw that too, I don't follow the account but it started to trend so it hit my feed. Odd that he removed his account with over 25k followers instead of just deleting the post. That guy is a clown and now he's using AI to create made up graphics.

The rumor is that hes an ECNL coach. Since most coaches are arrogant jerkoffs that think they're always right the actions would make sense.

He says he's not affiliated with them OR GA. It could be helpful to do this IF he actually practiced journalism, not just here's some interesting data. That means actually reaching out and talking to the leagues and experts to help explain the trends. Of course, you can be anonymous if you do that (at least to the leagues). This is why people rightly question his credibility.

I wonder if Instagram did that? If that data isn't accurate/paints a false light, GA could have a legal case.

Looks like his account is still active/live.

At the end of the day, ECNL is still king in girl's soccer right now, in terms of placement to the higher end college programs. Doesn't mean this will always be the case, but it is certainly true today. And no, this doesn't mean any given ECNL team is better than any given GA team. There are plenty of bad teams within both leagues. Where you choose to send your kid should be a local decision (soccer landscape where you live, coaching, training, etc.) for you. You can be recruited from both, depending on the coach/team to some extent, and the player to the most extent. The endless fight over which league is "better" is exhausting.
