[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All stats are lagging but it’s pretty clear historically (that is, since the demise of DA, so 5 years) ECNL players have placed into colleges deeper into the league and deeper into team rosters. No doubt the top GA teams have fared well too but not as deeply into the league. That may well change this year and going forward but we won’t know until it happens and right now there’s some dilution — between ECNL and GA, c 250 teams nationwide at the “top” level.[/quote]
Did you know that GA college commitments have gone up every year since GA was formed?[/quote]

The GA has added clubs every year so the commitments should go up.[/quote]
ECNL parent logic says that adding more clubs to a league waters it down. Kind of the opposite of garnering more commitments.[/quote]

Both can be true. Adding more teams can water the league down. Adding a single college commitment across the entire country increases the number of commitments within the league though.[/quote]

And yet ecnl has either roughly the same number of teams in each age group OR slightly MORE than ga, even with its recent growth[/quote]

GA has more teams.  i think around 15-20[/quote]

You're wrong. Count them on their websites. GA was 15-20 fewer last year. They added, if you count their new conference alignment, to about where ECNL was last year. Hard to know exactly yet what ECNL's new number but likely not much different with drops and adds.[/quote]
