[quote=Anonymous]OP here,

I didn't mean to ask whether it's realistic that he'd be recruited.  I assume we have to wait and see about that like anyone else.  I'm asking whether it's realistic that he'd find a team to play with, and whether you can play on those teams without a club affiliation since I thought that's where the cards come from.

If a coach asks why he doesn't play for an outside club, he'll tell the truth.  He loves two sports and one (soccer) is possible to play at camps, and in the neighborhood, and for his high school, and the other really isn't.  So, he had to choose, and this is how he divided up his time.  But there's a good chance he won't get to play the other sport in college, and so then soccer would become his priority.

Would that be convincing?  I don't know.  In the end, it will be his choice whether to take this chance.  I just want to help him understand what the chances are.  My guess is it's as follows:

Plays MLS soccer only (what he plays now), or ECNL and HS -- decent chance of playing soccer in college, zero chance of playing the other sport in college.

Plays HS soccer with additional time, and club other sport -- some chance of playing soccer in college, some chance of playing the other sport.
