Of course they do. This is s list compiled by iamyouth of players that have relayed verbal commitments online. Theres nothing scientific about it. Its just what one ECNL coach has been able to define by looking at underage female soccer player posts probably hours a day. |
Wow, that's s really good womens soccer program D1 + SEC + ranked top 10 in the nation. Congratulations |
I think the post was for all clubs that had 10 or more 2026 commitments. I don't think those clubs had 10 or more |
10 or more D1 commitments |
Didn't see BSC |
bsc? |
Ahh the cherry picking details are becoming more clear. 10 or more D1 verbal committments. This has nothing to do with ECNL its simply the results from the top clubs in the nation. If Iamyouthdork had done the exact same process in 2020 the large percentage of clubs would be DA. Don't get confused that the local ECNL club down the block is the same as what's being represented. It will be interesting to watch this list of clubs over the next couple of years. Boys ECNL is not bringing in big $$$. Eventually some of the top girls ECNL clubs will switch to GA + MLSN so they can make money on both the girls and boys sides. |
If it's "simply the results from the top clubs in the nation" that means 53 ECNL clubs and 7 GA clubs are "the top clubs in the nation" on the girls' side? That's nearly half of ECNL, and 5% of GA. But I agree that it is the boys' side that is driving the shift, not some independent preference for GA on the girls side. |
So is ARL or FVU not considered top clubs of the nation and VDA and NVA(Previous) are? Or is this a reflection of local clubs that have better ability to help more kids a shot at a D1 school? |
The way verbal commitments work is players can announce or choose not to announce. If you announce them theres a possibility players can leverage verbal offers into a better offer from a different school or maybe a better offer from the same school. Theres also a chance that you'll piss off the coach trying to leverage for more and they'll move on to the next player on their list. Generally when a verbal offer is made the coach will request a response with 2 days and 2 weeks. Only coaches (not assistants or recruiters) can provide verbal offers. There are situations where a coach will back out of a verbal offer but this is rare. Usually they just carry more players if there's some kind of mistake. This might change now that theres roster limits. |
ARL + FVU might have 10+ verbal commitments but they're not publicly announced, not found by imsoccerdork, or not all D1. See how the data is being manipulated? This isnt a list of players playing college soccer. This is a list of the clubs D1 collegs are recruiting from. Its an old boys network between you DOCs and college Coaches / Recruiters. Parents eat this stuff up. Unfortunately a percentage of the D1 players will hit the portal within 8 months of starting school. |
VDA is one of the best clubs in the nation. FVU, NVA, ARL are not. I’m happy to clear that up. |
A percentage? .0001% 10% 100%? |
Approximately 12-15% of women's Division I soccer players enter the transfer portal each year. This translates to roughly 700-800 players annually out of the total 12,096 D1 women's soccer players. https://www.sportsrecruitingusa.com/post/college-soccer-by-the-numbers-why-transfers-change-the-game I couldn't find the percentage of 1st year D1 players that hit the portal. But I'd expect it to be higher than older players. So probably close to 20%-25%. |
as the people who run the site say, it is a list of PUBLIC COMMITMENTS on instagram, Facebook, or twitter and any commitments not on those sites but someone text them. pretty easy to understand. and well if they are not D1 then they wont be on the list. go take your medicine and calm down. facts just smacking you all around |
