OF/OI were the coaches at both ID sessions. No other coaches were there in my kid’s age group. Maybe a different age group—or younger?

If you are getting an offer—wouldn’t you be told who will be your coach? That’s pretty much the most important thing for a player.

Well AP won a national championship a while back, his team last year won Jeff Cup for their bracket and his current team is likely going to nationals this year so I’d say he would fit in just fine to the coaching slate…he knows how to win and get players to give their best

Have not seen AP or JW at any of the boys ID sessions so far.

JW was at the 2010 ID Session.

Yes, and those who are getting an offer have been told as long as they've asked - shown any interest. We are one.

What were you told? Who is coach and what year?

The OP is one of the more outlandish lies I’ve seen on this forum. And that’s saying something.

How so? If at least one of these coaches was at an ID session?

Guess we will see tomorrow.

I do think it’s poor form to not announce coaching staff before (or during as we are now) ID sessions.

The Portillo stuff is pure fantasy.

They can force FXU and ARL to merge.

This is just stupid. Boys coaching slate is already out and JW and AP are not on it. Arlington boys exist at a different level from Union boys. Sure can always add a player or two -- if the best from Union but replacing a great team with a bad team does not happen. And GP does not run the ECNL boys. They have a director. This is all BS.

There is no boys ECNL slate out for ASA. They are hiring JW and AP to recruit top union kids and hurt McLean.

Typical ASA and GP recruiting

If this happens—where’s the Arlington board? Isn’t there an oversight on this type of thing?

Oversight on bringing in better players and coaches?

Ha ha. Sure but they will not. Arlington has all the metrics in its favor. FXU may still not have any. Likely would see VDA - FXU first. It is performance but also size of club. Arlington is big.

Where is he going then? Not listed anywhere as part of the merger.
