[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In some cases, players from RL make it to the top, but they have to show it. It has happened in VDA and Arlington. It is hard to debate the nonsense that it will take for a new FVU.[/quote]

I've seen kids getting moved from RL to NL and after a season, able to snatch the starter spot but often than not, those kids who get moved up need time to adjust to the speed of play in the NL competition. Depend on the team/ club, speed of play between NL and RL could be significant. [/quote]

I'm pretty sure and willing to bet the farm the speed of play between RL and NL isn't much different[/quote]

Hate to break it to you, but you just lost the family farm.[/quote]

+1.

Players can play faster (if that is the system) and decision-making is MUCH faster in NL.  Are there kids that can run just as fast in RL?  Sure.  But they can't think, pass, and handle the ball as fast. [/quote]

I'm willing to bet the other farm none of this can be verified by data or objective expert witness[/quote]

Why do you think everyone wants to go D1?

Data? ECNL has something like +70% of D1 player commits in the past graduating class. GA had like 20%, next was overseas players, THEN RL and USYS. That is pretty much all the data you need.

Here is an article from 3 years ago about  the players in the College Cup. ECNL has only expanded since the while also grabbing GA Clubs. I would say unless you have a top 2% all RL players nationwide, chances for a roster spot at a quality academic D1 school is very very slim.

What about GA? [/quote][/quote]
