[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What's astounding is colleges don't just swoop in and fill their roster needs from the couple of clubs in the area worthy of discussion and call it a day.  Why colleges choose ANYONE outside of the MLSNext (formerly DA) or ECNL teams is beyond me.  There's ZERO reason not to just call up Arlington, Bethesda, Loudoun, FCV, McLean, SYC, fill your spots and BAM.  Done recruiting for the year.  Why ANY school has to stoop so low as to recruit anyone from an EDP, CCL, NCSL team is beyond me.  This would make recruiting so much more streamlined and quality of college teams would improve.[/quote]

No college is "stooping" beyond their programs competitive environment and overall attractiveness as a school. If a small D2 teachers college in rural PA needs a center back they aren't getting many ECNL players.

D3 offer varying levels of competitiveness versus academic quality as well. For mid tier D1, D2's and a variety of D3's lots of rosters are filled out with EDP and CCl players. And while still calling the big clubs like Arlington may be able to point out kids that fit their profile it may not be a school the player is at all interested in attending.

Recruiting is very much a two ways street beyond the big D1 and prestigious D3 schools.[/quote]
