[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Addison Hess apparently already in portal from Penn State. She went from all-state player of year, state champ, to wandering the desert. This is not how womens college soccer should be.[/quote]

High School soccer and top College soccer programs are two totally different beasts!! You can be the club favorite and still never see a minute of time when you get that D1 spot[/quote]

It sure is interesting though. She had a TON of accolades going into college, played under BP/CC, Gatorade player VA player of the year etc.

I mean, this resume is about as good as it gets for a kid coming out of NoVA, so who failed this player? [/quote]

Playing under CC/BP is not an accolade.  They are club coaches. There are hundreds of top level club coaches. 
Gatorade play of the year is a HS sport award. Most elite players do not play HS so therefore not eligible.

There are many other awards for club players that carry more weight.  That's not the best resume by far.

Do a little research... there are a lot of HS players that were "hero's" but flamed out on the D1 college pitch. In fact, with the exception of Ellie Wheeler ( KC Current) and Laurren Flynn (Utah Royals) most kids in this area (NOVA) are not stars in college.  When the favoritism ends, so do a lot of the opportunities.

She made the USYNT roster too.  Not just a HS flash in the pan.[/quote]
