[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What percentage of Academy players typically get recruited to play at the college level?[/quote]

Almost all of them, from what I've noticed over the last few years.  Most who are on the oldest team will go D1, but a few to DIII.  Many of the kids who drop out of/get cut from the DA after their sophomore or junior year end up recruited to DIII schools as well.

Here's DC United's list from last year:   https://www.dcunited.com/post/2017/01/31/12-united-academy-players-sign-nli-national-signing-day

Here's Bethesda's, which includes commitments from some of their non-DA teams as well:  http://www.bethesdasoccer.org/Default.aspx?tabid=200237&mid=228230&newskeyid=HN1&newsid=47769&ctl=newsdetail

Here's Baltimore's: http://www.sackick.com/home/baltimore-armour-college-signings/

Typically the rosters for the oldest teams will include a lot of juniors as well, but the clubs don't usually announce their commitments until they are seniors.  Some of the players skip college to try to go pro (esp. from DC United).[/quote]

Meh.  College recruitment lists for the crew, lacrosse and field hockey players are much more impressive from a USNWR perspective.[/quote]

True, but a lot of kids playing those sports are trying for Ivies or NESCACs.  Most of the kids who stay in DA want strong soccer programs and scholarships, which you can only get at a handful of the top 20 USNWR schools.  [/quote]

Congratulations to all of these recruited athletes.  Getting recruited in ANY sport is no easy feat (pun sort of intended).[/quote]
