[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What you all need to do is see how many commits actually play their freshman year at P4 schools. Many hardly even get rostered for games. Many of them then go into severe depression because no playing time, hard practices, etc but so many parents just push soccer their entire youth and don’t worry about education.

So many parents here are 100% clueless. If your kid isn’t a USYNT member, it’s an uphill climb at P4. Let’s take Tennessee for example. I think they are up to 8 ‘27 commits. I would wage heavily, maybe 2 or 3 will see playing time freshman year. But hey, at least those other 6 can brag that they participate in practice meanwhile their teammate is getting Freshman of the week at ODU who turned down that partial P4 2 years earlier.

But if your DD is in it for an education as a priority, I take no issue with that decision. Unfortunately being around for so many years I know that is not the case.[/quote]

This is a stupid and silly post.  USYNT members include people that make camp but not roster is 45 per age group max?  Each P4 will take (even with the new limits) on average 4 girls.  There are about 68 P4 schools.  That means they will take 272 girls for the P4.  A couple of hundred more than are USNYT.

Most teams play freshman at last some.  Some do not play - just like football and every other sport.  Freshman volleyball girls do not play that much either.[/quote]

Believe what you want. I follow it. There currently at least 5 freshman from our area at P4s that have not been rostered for a single game yet. There are also sophomores that have yet to see a minute including freshman year. Others have already quit.

You are also forgetting about transfer portal both leaving and incoming. Top GA players. Internationals. But yeah, if you think a role player on a good ECNL team is going to role right into a P4 and get minutes as a freshman, best of luck to you. Meanwhile, she could be Freshman of the week at ODU having a great time instead of being miserable at VT just because you wanted the “Parent of a Student Athlete at VT” bumper sticker.

Also remember just because someone may be on a good team, it doesn’t mean they are great. It’s the great players that make the other players around them better. It’s also the coach, the system, the level of competition, etc. [/quote]

I would much rather my kid ride the bench and graduate from VT than get a degree from ODU. It would be doing her a huge disservice to her career and life trajectory just so I can watch her play soccer for a few extra years at ODU? Talk about having messed up priorities.[/quote]

If you were talking MIT or Harvard maybe you comment would have merit.  ODU and VT no company would really care [/quote]

That’s a crazy take. Ignorant. VT and ODU graduates or judge the same and have the same opportunities out of college? You’re an idiot.[/quote]

Depends on major. Glad you can read catalogs [/quote]
