Doesn't that just mean your kid needs to be a better player than the international kids? Compete on the merits and all that? And if he's not that talented, go to college for academics like the rest of the kids.[/quote]

Don't you get it? The international players are 23 yr old freshman who have 5 years of maturity, physicailly and otherwise, plus 5 years of intenational academy play, on 17 yr old American boys who are trying to get recruited to their own state universities out of high school. That is a tall order in sports - for an adolescent to compete on merits and "get better" than a man several years older with actual professional experience. These boys and parents have a right to feel disheartened. 10 years ago that talented 17 yr old could easily get recruited and now many can't. [/quote]

What are you talking about.  You saying 10 years ago you were tracking 17 year olds college soccer recruiting or you just making shxx up?[/quote]

As the Youth Technical Director of a soccer club for 12 years, yes that's exactly right, I have tracked players. No need to make anything up. More American players out of HS 10 years ago were able to get recruited to more competiive programs than they can now.  [/quote]
