[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No one and I mean no one knows if or how connected a HS coach is. Even if he might not directly know D1 college coaches, he might know someone that directly does.

While not soccer related. I doubt any Quince Orchard HS coaches knows Nick Sagan, but yet Saban visited the HS back in Dec. 2019 meet two football players there. [/quote]

There are no parallels between HS football recruiting and soccer.

98% of soccer recruiting is done through club.

Stop with the dream that HS is any sort of path for soccer. [/quote]

Is this true?  (Not arguing, just a relatively new soccer dad here, just trying to figure out how all this works.)  So if my son ends up playing for high school, that's not really considered for athletic scholarships (or even admissions points) by colleges?  Even if it's a "good" high school team?

Odd that this would be the case for soccer, when high school football, baseball, and basketball seem to be relatively important pathways for those sports.  Not sure what's so special about soccer, other than the for-profit clubs having a tight grip on the status quo.[/quote]
