Its not real, and a perfect example of why iamsoccer dork is ridiculous.

In the 2024 GA season there were over 300 (I stopped counting at 300) college commitments. The numbers are listed right on their site.

Iamsoccerdork has 82 2025 GA commitments listed. Its 100% clear that the ECNL coach is pulling a fast one.[/quote]

But his numbers is "verbal commitment", and it's 2026. I don't know what that means, but didn't Olivia Moultrie commit to UNC when she was 12 or something ? [/quote]
You can see why iamsoccers posts are so annoying. This is nothing more than a list of verbal commitments players from different clubs have announced likely on meta, insta, or X. Its weird that an ECNL coach has spends this much time looking at underage girls posts online.

Then to post something that makes it look like GA clubs have 10% of the numbers as ECNL when less than 10% of GA college commitments are posted is very misleading.

You end up with new parents making club decisions based on information iamsoccer knows isnt true or isnt the full picture. Ie cherry picked data. Which is the ECNL coaches intention. [/quote]

oh the bitterness.  [/quote]
Bitterness or calling out intentionally deceptive ECNL "marketing".[/quote]

Easy to call something deceptive. Hard to provide actual data showing that the analysis is wrong.

Is there hard data showing that GA is actually performing better right now than ECNL in the mid-tier in getting college commitments for the league's players? Hard data showing more GA players are getting commitments generally than ECNL players, or that the numbers are comparable? I'd love to see it. All I've seen is some claims about a positive trend for GA, and a hopefulness that will continue to the point where things eventually even out, or GA even (at some point in the future, aspirationally) passes ECNL.

Proof is in the pudding.[/quote]

Congratulations to the Class of 2024! In total, more than 700 athletes will continue their soccer journey in college with over 90 Girls Academy clubs represented

More than 700 (which includes D1, D2, D2, NAIA, etc.) out of how many in total?  When you realize the denominator, you'll realize that stat isn't as impressive as you thought it once was.[/quote]

bingo.   wonder why GA left the total number of GA players in the league out?    lmao[/quote]
GA had 15ish less clubs than ECNL last season. Your denominator theory doesnt pencil out.[/quote]

The denominator was how many HS kids committed across all the groups (D1, D2, D3, JUCO, NAIA, etc.) in total?  When you see that 700 number was against that total universe of kids, you'll see it's small.  Perhaps its growing, and will continue to grow in the future.  Not stating it won't, just that as of today, GA is small fish.[/quote]
