[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

ECNL afraid to allow SYC to join cause they would smash through the league[/quote]

MLS Next is a better platform than ECNL is for boys. SYC does not want to be in ECNL and the girls are now in ECNL via Union.[/quote]

Simply untrue. MLS NEXT has no stability. When DA folded, most of the players jumped ship to ECNL. ECNL is the stable preferred league for coaches. [/quote]

Correcto.  MYS has blocked Arlington from joining ECNL for years and when they finally couldn't they needed an answer for their boys program (which has really struggled in ECNL).  They entered the partnership with SYC solely for the boys, and any of the 1-2 girls (per age group) would just be an added bonus.  When SYC then got awarded MLS Next, well let's just say there's been an element of distrust new to the equation to this partnership.  MLS Next is just branding for recruitment; it's MLS 2.[/quote]

It's plenty stable.  That's why we saw ECNL players coming over to MLSNext clubs to try out this spring.  There will be some good ECNL clubs and teams for boys in the area but the bulk of talent in the DMV on the boys side will gravitate to MLSNext.  I think the longer term question for some boys is whether they'll buy into not playing for their high school, and for others, whether they'll buy into a much more limited schedule of practices and games with their club.[/quote]
