[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]GA's strongest region is the northeast (MA, NJ, PA). Now they are aggressively grabbing market share in the mid atlantic. Could we see ECNL/GA strength splitting geographically? ECNL strongest in the south & west, with GA stronger in the east? Kind of makes sense since majority of colleges recruit regionally, other than the top 25 programs from the P4 conferences.[/quote]

GA stronger in the east? How?[/quote]
Not stronger than ECNL. Just pointing out that GA east is currently stronger than GA west. In MA/CT/NY/NJ the difference between ECNL and GA clubs is not huge, closer than the rest of the country. Mid atlantic would extend that beyond northeast.[/quote]

Most of the talent & high level recruits in those areas is still ECNL, but there are enough high level athletes to make some great GA teams. The tier still holds ECNL > GA.[/quote]
Calm down ECNL dad. Nobody is saying ECNL is not higher tier than GA today. You can put your hat back on. This was just a discussion of how GA is spreading from their strongest region (northeast) to mid atlantic. This _could_ result in an eventual regionalization of college recruiting platforms. Colleges in the east would gravitate toward GA in the east for recruiting and ECNL in the south and west. The idea is since college recruiting is largely regional (outside of a small subset of colleges), maybe we don't need multiple big national leagues.

Most colleges in the east don't need to go across the country to national events to recruit players from their own region. That's what they do today. It may not stay that way.[/quote]
