[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Reading these comments and knowing these folks are the ones molding their kids mentality is scary

Can't get good teammates out of this batch [/quote]
I agree! The people saying that is ok to play down and that college coaches wont care if your kid is playing on a grade down tean are ridiculious. Its scary thinking about the excuses they must be telling their kids.[/quote]

Kids are being compared to other kids in their graduating year.
That's how college's recruit.[/quote]
They're also being compared to transfer portal players. So its not just the players in their grade. There's also competition from players 1-3 maybe even 4 years older that are already playing in college.[/quote]

That makes grade even less relevant than it already is

Talent, potential and college start date is all that matters[/quote]
So you're theory is that because players are competing against other players 1-4 (maybe more) years older than they are for a college roster spot that somehow playing down againt younger players in high school will prepare them to play at a higher level.

You really think coaches wont notice that players are playing down a grade.[/quote]

Colleges don't recruit soccer players from High School 
What decade are you living in?

If you're a U16 playing U15, the only person you're fooling is yourself, because no College wants you.

You're calling a fact a theory.
If not talent, potential and graduating year, what are colleges looking at?[/quote]It is merely your opinion or belief or theory until you present evidence.

Which is why everyone realizes that you are pissing in the wind right now. Especially considering people present multiple cases of kids getting recruited now and in the past in what could be considered the natural grade such as transfers, international students, hold backs, etc.

You are trying to hypothesizing for a status shift that only youth soccer year played during their whole youth career matters for recruiting without any backing material or citations or data.[/quote]
