[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Above analysis is severely flawed, especially the last paragraph.  Please post discrete examples of non-starters playing D1 soccer and explain how that would change for u15 or below. [/quote]

Examples of non starters from local area DAs playing D1, to clarify. [/quote]

U15 and younger are not committing at this point and now will not until junior year of high school (more than a year from today).  The information we do have is what was linked.  You can dismiss it, ignore it, spin it, whatever you want to it.  It doesn't change the fact that it is true.  What is not a FACT is that non-starters on top level GDA teams are not committing to D1 schools.  Our area has done a very poor job concentrating talent.  We have 10 local teams in the DA/ECNL.  That is too many and yet we have people on here telling us how Loudoun ECNL will now become a game changer.  The only thing Loudoun adding ECNL is going to do is water down the ECNL some more purely because of the number of teams. More consolidation is needed and it may have to happen involuntarily.  The best thing that could happen is that the 4 local GDA become 3 and the 6 local ECNL reduce to 3 as well (by combining with each other or with a GDA club).  6 "elite" options are plenty for our area and would truly be competitive with other parts of the country in both college commits and game play.

Fat chance any of this happens there is too much money to be made the way it is now with parents willing to pay obscene amounts of money for, in most cases, non-equivalent value.  [/quote]
