[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Simply look at McLean ECNLs record of putting girls on top college teams. It is impressive. Along with FCV they do the best job. Why? Because these were the two old ECNL clubs pre-DA so they have the brand established and neither BRYC or Loudoun or MU or VDA have the compelling case to pull top players from those two clubs. Arlington’s always been solid too, but just a notch below the other two. Until Clyde and Nadir leave, this will likely continue to be the case for McLean. FCV, not so clear but they’ve got a few more years before their current GA talent pool ages out. [/quote]

FFS this is completely meaningless to boys parents and you are an idiot for thinking that club is more important than talent in getting placement. Sheep like most parents in this area, and your children will also be little lambs the rest of their lives if you rear them in this manner. [/quote]

Talking girls, not boys.  Try keep up Holmes. And facts beat opinions. [/quote]

Are you alluding that the measure of success is by the selection of its players in top colleges?  What if an ECNL player desperately wants to attend Johns Hopkins, MIT, or University of Chicago instead of powerhouse soccer programs like Stanford and UCLA?

McLean ECNL is a great program, and has been for quite some time now.  But their measure of success isn't 'our players go to the best colleges' because the choice of college is up to the player.  If you'd like to really see if McLean is successful, you could look at the success of players that do choose powerhouse soccer programs.  I'd be interested to see how many honors, national championships, etc they bring home.[/quote]

“Are you alluding that the measure of success is by the selection of its players in top colleges?”  Yes, yes I am. And btw MIT and JH and UoC are great schools, so if it helps them get in there or pay less, then success there too. As far as how well they do in college soccer, gimme a break. It’s enough to get in, especially for the women. There is rarely if ever anything lucrative in women’s soccer beyond that.
