[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Current McLean U19 team has D1 commits that haven’t always made the game day roster. Team has very competitive training environment, plays a lot of games, also has composite EDP games, and with player injuries a big roster isn’t as crazy as you might think[/quote]

McLean's current U19 was formed years ago when there were only FCV and McLean in ECNL. These FCV and McLean teams are truly last teams with this kind of depth in NOVA. That quality of depth of player will never be replicated with the current level of dilution.

When there are 4 ECNL teams with 20 kids really doesn't stand out. Back when there were just two clubs being a sub meant you were still at least 1 of the top 40 kids in NOVA. Now, if you are a sub you're not even one of the top 80 kids in NOVA.

Moving forward, regardless of club, you need to be a starter to get any real attention from top programs and even then the same qualifiers apply, USNT experience, USNT Camp, USNT Training Centers.

Thank God there are more options. Starting ECNL at U13 and picking winners and losers at 12 years old is a absolutely idiotic method of developing talent. It’s like arguing about the best 07-09 teams. It doesn’t matter. Half the kids will be gone by time it matters.

Early success is not an indication of future success. Nova can support 4 good teams per age group.

On another note, McLean loves claiming great success at the composite age group. Let’s be real, it’s probably the oddest and weakest age group in ECNL.  To me, U16 and U17 are the toughest age groups. [/quote]
