[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My guess is that there are a lot of college players who weren’t identified early and had to fight for their spots, and then a lesser percentage of pro players in that category. But it’s hard to say.

One thing is that their actual history doesn’t tell you whether they were identified by the club or not, because a lot of these kids fight their way up to MLSNext and ECNL for their last year or two before college but are by no means actually identified. However their soccer resumes show “identification” and of course the clubs claim all successes.

My kid was actually somewhat annoyed his club proudly announced his commitment and bragged about the recruitment since they had so little to do with it. [/quote]

My brother was in the top 5 in the country (decades ago) and he did not allow the club to claim/announce him as one of theirs.  They were complete d@cks to him.  My son didn’t let the high school coach be in his signing pic.  He got screwed over so royally by the HS coaches and only played one year.  They then wanted the smiling signing photo with him. They had absolutely zero to do with it and caused him a lot of pain.[/quote]
