[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am not touting the freshman but only making a point that contradicts the argument here that an HS player or non-ECNL will not get recruited by top schools.

I don't care what metric you use i.e. Gatorade Player of the Year or Washington Post All-Met. The reality is that a freshman at Sildwell (not known for soccer compared to SJC, GC, McDonough) playing in a league that may or may not be competitive, made All-met and won the Gatorade award on the back of scoring 40+ goals and leading her team to the DC title. You are a fool if you believe that top college coaches are not going to take notice.  Again, the player who won last year was an ECNL player on the YNT. That player got beat out this year by the freshman.

I know that there are plenty of folks on this board who are paying tens of thousands so DD can play ECNL. Your money is well spent but that does not take away from the fact that a stand-out player who only plays HS will get recruited by top programs.

You can bet that given the network of scouts and affiliates these programs, someone will get ahold of a programs' head coach about this player. [/quote]

LOL. So a top basketball athlete who also plays soccer is being recruited by D1 schools and this requires some kind of news flash from you?

As PPs have said, this is the exception and not the rule.   For the 99%, DA or ECNL are the best way.  For the unicorners, yes, they don’t need the platform because they create their own.  Again, since it seems to be an ignored point, the number of these is so small you can be assured your kid isn’t one of them.  [/quote]
