[quote=Anonymous]I believe both SoccerWire and TDS list both self-reported and club-reported commits. So if a club tweets about a commitment those outlets pick it up.
Clubs also, sometimes, self-publish lists of commitments. Mclean is one of those.  The Mclean self-published list doesn’t have many 2022s on it.
Whether the clubs like it or not, Northern Virginia parents - their paying customers - are looking at college commitment quality and numbers when deciding where their 13s and 14s are going to try out. Quality in this sense is both academic and soccer quality, depending on kid/family goals. Traditionally, Mclean has sent a lot of girls to high academic schools’ soccer teams.  But I’m seeing the commit lists from those schools for 2022, and Mclean 2022 kids are not committing.

So, if Mclean is just too cool to publish their 2022 commitments, they’re shooting themselves in the foot re their talent pool at the younger years. If Mclean doesn’t HAVE those commitments, especially compared to Arlington or VDA (both pretty up and coming in the battle of the college feeder clubs it seems), well that will also affect their talent pool at the younger years. It doesn’t make sense for Mclean not to put the data out there if it exists, which make me think it doesn’t exist.  [/quote]
