[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]what does this all mean?[/quote]

It’s all speculation right now. 
Possibilities:

1 - GA can become the pathway to the pros like MLS Next is to MLS

2 - MLS Next tells clubs with ecnl girls/mls next boys to switch the girls to GA if they want to keep mls next

3 - GA/MLS Next combined showcases where recruiters can watch both in one place.[/quote]

On any given girls ECNL team, how many families do you think are aiming for the pros vs aiming for college? I'd be shocked if it was more than a fraction of 1% aiming to skip college for pros [/quote]

If a GA team with a path to pro has 15 of the best players in the state, 1 goes pro….where do you think the others go??? Ding ding ding….college.

It’s not just a pathway to the pros. Think a little[/quote]

Yes but is the program focused on the pros or college?  If not focused on college then those girls go ECNL.  College cannot be the afterthought.[/quote]

So how do you explain mls next? There focus is not college but yet still putting more kids in D1 programs then ECNL.

[/quote]MLSN has many more going pro than ECNL. The pro path on the girls side isn't big enough for coattails.[/quote]
Think about it this way...

If you were a college coach would you want a player that's on an Academy team playing with pro pipeline players. Or would you want players from another league.

Most college coaches would choose Academy / pro pipeline players over those from XYZ league.

This is what's happening on the boys side and will soon come to the girls.[/quote] College coaches want players from the top league where the RAE lines up with college grades so scouting is more clear (Aug-July). (The main reason US Soccer wanted birth year a decade ago.)

NWSL Next is a myth until someone ponies up $5 or 10 or 15 million a year or the players can be sold to recover costs like MLSN. So not soon.

Bigger chance of MLSN going belly up than NWSL starting.[/quote]

RAE lines up with college grades?

Tell us how you don't know the meaning of RAE[/quote]U the biobanding bandit lunatic that thinks RAE is only associated with puberty?[/quote]
