[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son is a Junior HS and he is been playing soccer in ECNL RL. However, he want to go to D1 school(he got pick up some D3 colleges on his Sophomore year in ID camps/Varsity player in HS). If he join the ECNL in 2025, is it too late to be pick by D1 school? I know that some Junior ECNL player got pick up by D1 school already.

pretty much its over for him from D1. They know who they want pretty early and if you aren't hearing much during summer going into junior yr, you aren't on an interest list.   RL teams don't go to the show cases needed and if they do, they are in a low bracket where no colleges show.

He's too old to get picked up by a ECNL team. And obviously wasn't  at the caliber early enough to displace a kid now.

Lastly D1 schools have a large number of international pipelines and are using portal.

My advice if he wants D1, try to walk on. He also needs to reach out to schools and coaches himself.   Or as many have said ….D2 and D3 schools are just as good.  And many can and will beat D1 schools.[/quote]

The only thing I will agree wirh is D1 rosters are filled with international students and there are few spots. However, I disagree that it’s too late if a junior has not been recruited yet. Some don’t commit until senior year. Partly it depends on position but also gender. Girls soccer recruitment happens earlier than boys so I wonder if this poster has a daughter.  It’s definitely not too old to move to ECNL either but obviously it does depend on ability. [/quote] its over for D1. The kid is a junior and not on a ECNL or MLSnext team. You will know if there is interest when june 15 hits after soph year.    The portal has really screwed with recruiting.  Then add international.   I do agree boys sign later then girls but almost all of them got some sort of interest prior to junior yr.[/quote]
