here's the one with both GA and ECNL https://x.com/ImYouthSoccer/status/1910498707960713527/photo/1 |
That's a bad look to throw up the numbers showing D1 coach attendance and then showing the release of the graphic. No D1 coaches are attending U13/14/15 events and the graphic has like 5 in there. |
That dude is the chief propagandist ... The handle would be better ImECNLSoccer |
I don't trust anything on X |
lol it's a platform - read what is posted (not served to you in an algorithmic thread). Funny how may GA posters coming out of the woodwork with all the moves in this area. I can assure you no one else nationwide cares about this minor GA moves. |
that list only includes the tournaments that are U15 and above but believe what your want so you can wear your GA shirt |
Yet here you are caring enough to belittle it. |
Yes, just trying to give some perspective. If you don't care move on, but seriously the narrative here that GA has somehow overtaken ECNL is very misplaced. |
That's NOT the narrative here. It's been GA partnership with MLSN has some potential to make a dent in girls ECNL AND a over-the-top ECNL response to it. |
You're correct but not everybody will look at it closer and see the details. Most will see what's on the surface as that account pushes its agenda. |
too one said they did. that list is only for high school aged groups. the ECNL events/showcases that are for U12/U13/U14 do not invite college coaches nor is there a sign up or a list of who signed up. I am sure maybe local coaches may show up but the tournaments around these age groups are obviously just normal showcases with competition outside their conference. my daughter has attended 2 of these at U13 & U14 and I never saw any college coaches, nor was there ever a list on the ecnl website or given to us by our head coach to email college coaches to attend our games. but GA wearing their hats backwards will always bark with no bite |
For someone who is so sure ECNL is superior and it's not even close and nothing will change their dominance, you spend an awful lot of time defending ECNL and putting down GA. Why is that? Seems like you wouldn't need to do that if the threat wasn't there. Why is it so important to you to fight this battle? |
Dude, the amount of time you put into dissing GA is having the opposite effect you want. Just comparing them with ECNL is raising GA's profile and putting them in the conversation. He doth protest too much. |
well some of us appreciate the information people bring. so I am thankful |
What the information tells me is just reinforces what has already been said...
GA Playoff teams get plenty of looks. GA Teams THAT ARE NOT playoff bound will struggle to get D1 looks. What the graphic does not mention is that bottom ECNL teams don't get a lot of looks either. If you have ever been part of a lower ECNL team, you know their will only be a handful of coaches at your showcase games, unless you are lucky enough to play a better team. Remember though, they are there to watch that other team. I'll repeat what previous poster said as well. Nobody here has claimed GA has passed ECNL. You are putting words in the mouths of others. |
