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

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]

It's for the ulittles - for them to all be on grade.

It also settles 80% of trapped player issues.

It was NOT done to fix RAE, as it does not, just shifts the window.

This was discussed unto death in the original 1000 page opus thread. You may not agree with it, but it is a done deal. [/quote]
100% reguarding "on grade" exactly what people have been saying for over a year.

Now we have crazy crazytown trying to change SY (School Year) to SY (Seasonal Year) so after they get what they want (changing from BY to SY) they can move the goalposts again trying to say grade in school isnt important. When in reality is is very important and what was used to justify the change from BY to SY (school year) in the first place.

So dishonest.[/quote]School years are dates set by state/school district. So soccer had to create a compromise school year at the national level. Hence 8/1 to 7/31. Always been dates, this grades thing is just someone constantly throwing a dead cat on the table to take the oxygen out of the room.[/quote]
What is your agenda? You sit on this thread all day long[/quote]

Yeah, you figured that guy out! He has the [i]evil[/i] agenda of providing accurate and correct information on an online discussion board. Dun dun dun! You cracked the case Sherlock! [/quote]
You sound like you have issues.[/quote]

This whole thread has issues.  Who gives a sh*t about the age shift? It ain’t the kids…[/quote]

The only people who should give a shit are the Aug kids who are really young for their grade. Throws a wrench in things but it’s not the end of the world. Certainly not worth pages and pages of discussion. [/quote]

But what if this one poster has this particular case and wants everyone else to know? It's beyond played out at this point, but they're not going to stop.[/quote]
