[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So far 3 MLSN teams moving to ECNL - probably a combination of losing a lot of games plus the fact that a lot of these kids really just want to play HS soccer.  The reality is now that most MLSN HG kids do not play D1 anymore - because of the transfer portal and int'l recruits.  So why skip HS soccer just to end up playing D3 or not at all? [/quote]

this is a very good point. my son and 2 other teammates will not be returning to mlsn. they want to play high school their last year (senior) and will be joining  a close ecnl team. they  realizes they are not going pro or D1. I think these kids, knowing all of them,  are making the right decision.   [/quote]

I'm sure they are. If you do the basic math and assume every D1 HS recruit comes from MLSN HG, there are 205-210 D1 teams and they probably average 4-6 HS recruits a year so maybe 1,000 kids total go D1 and there are 150 HG teams x approx 20 players = 3,000.  And then another 3,000 ECNL kids per year.  My freshman son won't even try out for a HG team because he loves playing for his HS.  It's terrible soccer and the coach loves kick and run, but you can't really steal that joy from your kid.  Gotta let them enjoy their HS years.  [/quote]
