[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=RantingSoccerDad][quote=Anonymous]I can't find a copy of the Madison roster but I believe they had 3 D1 commits and 2 D3 commits.  Of the 3 D1 commits, only one is going to a good soccer program (a very good soccer program).  Of the D3 commits, one of them might have gone to a good D1 program but she went for academics.  So, saying "many" are high-level players who have signed for D1 schools is another RSD exaggeration.  Also, most of the players on that squad do not play for high level travel teams, just the few on the McLean 01 team and the VYS 99 team.

What these facts show is that it doesn't take much talent for a HS team to be successful.  You just need three or four talented field players and a somewhat competent goalie, and you can prettily easily win your district and have a solid chance to qualify for the state playoffs.

But make no mistake, it is not high level soccer, nor can it be when the vast majority of the players on a team are not high level players, and don't have the time to develop as a team.[/quote]

Hi! What's your name?

You may recall from earlier in the thread that my post was relevant to the thread title because Madison did *not* have a "somewhat competent goalie" until it brought in a volleyball player. (This was two years ago, I think. Can't speak to last year.)

The last sentence about not having time to develop as a team may have some truth to it, but it's more relevant to one of the high school threads.

Happy to discuss further when you identify yourself.[/quote]

I don't trust you - you make constant misrepresentations and exaggerations on here (e.g, Madison HS and D1 players here, your earlier post about numerous players leaving the DA to play HS ball) and yet you never acknowledge when the facts demonstrate how off-base you are.  In addition, your twitter timeline is filled with more unsubstantiated allegations slandering people that you disagree with.

Why would I want to identify myself to you  when you can't be trusted?
