[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If she is not on the top team at a good club (ECNL, DA or something just below that level of play) she will not be recruited to play on a D1 - team period.

D3 is still a possibility if she works really hard over the next 3 years and ends of playing on a more competitive team than where she is now. There are over 400 division 3 schools and I know girls who played on a second teams at a good club, and on a first team at a weak clubs, who are playing Division 3 soccer. They are not playing on the better academic or better soccer playing Division 3 teams, however, like the NESCAC schools.

This just isn't true. Go to ANY college women's soccer program website and look at their roster. Browse through the players and their backgrounds.  There are always a few that do not come from ECNL or DA for nearly every school.[/quote]

Read what I wrote.  I said ECNL, DA [b]or something just below that level of play.[/b]   Are you telling me you can go two or three levels down from DA or ECNL and be recruited to play D1?   That is a unicorn situation.[/quote]

+1.    Review this linked list of Class of 2020 committed players and find the girls who are not coming from DA or ECNL clubs or a team just below that level of play.    I'll be waiting a long time for you to find one.

Lots of players exist that don't sign up or are not listed on soccerwire or Topdrawersoccer. There are committed players in our club that never show up on either site.

It's like using GotSoccer to find the best team in the nation.[/quote]

Topdrawersoccer is a joke.  It's a pay website for parent egos.   The random star assignment based on a secret formula is so dumb.  And I love the "players of the week" are those who scored.  RARE to have defenders mentioned. The list boys in the "best girls" list.  And my personal favorite is when one of our players received a huge write up for her fabulous performance at the Phoenix showcase - when actually she was home with a broken foot. [/quote]
