[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think 2022 03s are at a comparative scouting advantage right now compared to 2022 04s. When play resumes, hopefully shortly, I think 03 games will be heavily attended because 2021 classes need to be finished and 2022s will be taken quickly. I'm also partial to ECNL right now because I know scouting budgets will be spread thin and coaches will have to maximize the impact of showcase attendance.

From what I hear, things will be fast and furious come June 15, and probably more so for 03s since they've been seen more at this point than 2022 04s.  Uncommitted 2021s will go quickly after 1-2 showcases, where coaches will have to get their final, confirmatory evaluations done and the class filled.  A mid-July Jeff Cup and the first ECNL showcase - ECNL Nationals in Greensboro repackaged as a showcase(?) - will be really important for 2021 girls.

I understand FCV and VDA 04s are strong, but I don't think 2023s on those teams will be getting serious looks until spring 2021 or later.  Only time will tell how many scouts will show for GA showcases.

The question is how colleges will get kids on campus for official visits this fall if campuses are closed.  Let's hope not.[/quote]

Jeff-cup is not going to happen in July. I wouldn’t bet on any fall showcases. The most likely outcome is that 2022s who were on the radar before COVID will be in discussions over the summer and fall. Those who were not previously looked at will be scouted next spring - when the showcase will restart. While official visits may still take place this fall, ID camps will likely start up in the winter. While it’s clear you want to pump up FCV and VDA, coaches care about players not teams. Coaches have been scouting top players in the region since their freshmen and sophomore years. Players have been shifting teams a lot over the past couple of years, coaches know this and don’t care too much about the team - only that it competes at a high level. Unfortunately, 2021 girls who are not actively engaging with coaches now will likely be out of luck at the prestigious D1 academic schools and strong D1 soccer schools. They’re best bet right now is to look a regional D1 options or D3 schools.[/quote]
