[quote=Anonymous]"The coaches are following up on kids already on their radar in all of their playing environments. That is not the same as college coaches going to a HS soccer game to scout unknown players. The variance of quality of play prevents this because they really cannot judge what they are seeing in the player."

Sorry, this is idiotic. Coaches know within about 5 minutes what they are seeing. It is about their athleticism followed by how well they touch the ball. A coach will know if they see a kid beating lesser competition if it is because they are a better athlete, if they have more skill or if they just happened to be trained better. Justify how you want and there is no question better competiton leads to more eyes on your DD. However, if a coach sees a kid playing above their competiton they then ask themself why that kid is able to do so. The question is not whether a kid will be recognized for standing out but in what environment is the best for the kid. There is actually a huge benefit for playing 'down' for some players. An average ecnl player not standing out wont get the same recognition by a coach in the stands then a da kid who is the best on the field will. I agree, if the question is eyeballs on the kid; but if you are saying a coach already in the stands wont know what they are seeing you are delusional.  [/quote]
