[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone going to mention the first two tiers of boys college recruiting are MLS Club academies then MLS Next teams
Both are BY and school grades are not on anyone's radar

[/quote]
Its because with BY "trapped" players are playing up not down.[/quote]

Playing up means playing in an older age group 
Trapped players today hardly ever play up since they are the youngest in their age group [/quote]

Yeah, for the vast majority of fall/q4 players they will actually be playing with kids in their own grade for once in their playing careers. The focus on a tiny number of August kids who might play with kids a grade lower than them is purely caused by on one Mr Delusional August Guy.

It will be interesting to see how these players do and how they’ll adapt. Many will be put into leadership positions they don’t have prior experience with having always been the youngest. [/quote]

My Q4 player on a MLS Next team has one kid from his school on his team and they're in different grades

Why people keeping talking about being friends in the same grade when the players go to all different schools is ludicrously silly [/quote]

I don't mean playing with kids from their school, I mean Q4s getting to play with kids their age or younger instead of being the youngest... Everyone knows at these big clubs most of the kids are coming from different schools. I don't see anyone talking about playing with friends from school here (at least within the last 20 or so pages). Though, it is US Soccer's theory that, for the very small percentage that can/will do that, it will keep them invested in soccer longer than the BY cohorts. [/quote]

So should ECNL switch back in 5 years because a September 1st or August 1st cutoff makes July  Q4 players the youngest and we need a system where nobody is the youngest? 😂
Maybe we start doing 30 day cutoffs instead of 12 month periods [/quote]

No? I don't see where I am saying that at all? It is literally just a post pointing out obvious things. [/quote]
