Tourettes post? Glad you are a proud parent of a DCU kid, but that has nothing to do with this thread. Congrats to those kids and best of luck.[/quote]

It was the response to the PP claiming college coaches avoid dmv recruiting

So it seems that makes your toxic post the tourettes post[/quote]

The 2024 DCU class is the one that took their U16 team to the championship - a really good class overall.

4 of those schools are non-scholarship. (Which  calls into question the value of DCU Acadmey for the placement - like Potomac grad Papez)

2 are D1 in name only.

Only Virginia and UCLA are serious soccer schools. Believe it or not, but JMU would be more impressive from a footy perspective that the majority of the schools ok the list.

Kudos though to the kids that are using DCU Academy as an academic vehicle.

Your hate, envy and jealousy is transparent 
No matter how you try to spin it

Did you point out how many/percentage are going to Ivy League schools?[/quote]

??? Hate, envy, jealousy? That’s a lot of assumptions for you and me who probably neither have a dog in that hunt.

If you read my post, I did point out how many are going the Ivy…it was the first comment I made, and the last comment I made.

Nothing I said took away from what those young men earned with their commitment and discipline. The thread on this topic was about the DC metro recruiting. And the idea that it is not an athletically competitive as it once was is true. It’s born out in the statistics nationally, and that is even with an increasing number of schools that have gone to D1 (Longwood moved to D1 in the mid 2000s, JMU in 2021/2022, etc.)

The fact there there are more competitive soccer programs than others in collegiate soccer isn’t a debate. Virginia and UCLA are fantastic soccer placements for DCU. Every academy and program has placement lists with a wide variety of ex-placements ranging from D3 to D1 to even professional teams.

Charging my response as (or even reading mine as) filled with jealousy, envy or hate really exposes you insecurities rather than any animosity on my part. I get that. The DMV requires a total commitment to justify its absurdity - regardless of income. It’s a place where even the POTUS can’t achieve his (or her) goals, everyone here falls short. The solace is we tell ourselves it’s all worth it if…and seeing a DCU kid go to Princeton sounds like just the type of achievement we can lock onto to tell ourselves how we’re doing the right thing for our kids, for our families, etc. And if your son or daughter goes to Princeton, maybe it IS all worth it.[/quote]

blah blah blah 
pseudo sanctimonious joker

Since you know everything the rest of us in the dmv are doing wrong, why don't you tell us which club we should all send our kids and which colleges meet with your approval [/quote]
