[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Amazes me how many people are clueless here. D1 = 14 Scholarships for roughly 30 players at each college. Money is divided up. Full rides are either issued to USYNT members or a select few. 90% of players are offered 10% to 50% of tuition. Many are actually offered 0% at top ranked Universities if they are not an impact player.

FCV and Union have produced the top classes for at least 5 years straight and now VDA and Loudoun are breaking through. Both have had players with full rides but that is a rarity.

If you are not a USYNT pool player, than being recruited is probably 60% of the player contacting coaches, 20% of who your player is surrounded by on the field (winning/quality teammates) and 10% from the Club Coach, probably even less. Remember, it’s hard to look good if you don’t have players around you to help.

GA has been going down hill but losing Nats, Ukies and Rush is another big blow and I think it will only hurt College Scouts attending events even more. That said, a good GA team is still going to out produce a bad ECNL team. But once you get past the top GA teams, it’s going to be very hard even compared to bad ECNL teams.[/quote]

I forgot to mention one major thing. Grades. Many get full rides with a combo of an Academic Scholarship. Also, players who aren’t considered impact players will be eliminated from a prospect list based on GPA especially if the college has low acceptance rates. Ivy League schools typically won’t give offers until late Junior year. Schools that I am talking about are your Vanderbilts, Northwesterns, William and Mary’s, etc.[/quote]
