It depends on how you look at things.

Most college coaches identify the players they want to give offers to Sophmore year. This way they can provide an offer Junior year when they can speak with players. (NCAA rule)

What the play downers / GY showcase people want to do is have their Junior or Senior play in Sophomore showcases so their kid is in the group most closely looked at by college coaches. Leagues already know this is what they want which is why they don't allow playing down Sophmore year but dont care Junior or Senior year hence the u18/19 grouping.[/quote]

Would you stop making stuff up already? [/quote]
This is 100% correct and not made up.[/quote]

BS. There aren’t freshmen, sophomore, Junior, or senior showcases. Showcases are age based with a limit on how old a player can be, not how young. Biobanded players is an exception. Not sure if any leagues besides MLS have something similar.  You sound like you lack confidence in your dc’s ability to standout. Stop making excuses and blaming better players for grabbing the spotlight that they earn. [/quote]
Everyone but you understands that college coaches recruit by graduating year. This means they look at players as Freshman Sophmore Juniors and Seniors. It's because it translates into players graduating year and when they can potentially arrive on campus. This is also why college coaches want players grouped by grade at showcases. Which in SY translates into Aug birthdays potentially playing up on their grade in school team if they want to be considered by college coaches.[/quote]

Only problem with your false statement is, you can't find any college coaches who agree with you.

They care about a small number of individual players already in their recruitment pipeline.  That's who they come to watch.

They don't go to showcases to watch hundreds of players. Waste of their time[/quote]
And when College Coaches find out that a Sophmore is playing down against freshman they'll immediately move on to the next player.

Its really not that hard to understand.[/quote]

The player certainly won't make a college team if they take such a negative message to heart.

I mean YOU could say that about a B or C team

OR about most USYS clubs these days.

But that'd be wrong in all those cases, because kids from ALL those places make it.

The odds are greater BUT not impossible.

It's really not hard to understand.[/quote]
You work for the State of Virginia and success or failure make no difference to you. However in the real world success and failure has consequences. College coaches will ignore players playing down because theres better players that are available to recruit and wins are their job.[/quote]

Sorry, not me. You are wrong yet again.[/quote]
Don't believe you. But, let me ask you a question.

Why do you comment on a competitive soccer forum and defend players that obviously arent good enough to play at the highest levels. This is a go nowhere position. You're not going to win. Coaches will continue to pick the best players. The ones that cant keep up will get filtered out. Its just a matter of time.

Its like you enjoy swimming upstream.[/quote]

You'll be filtered out and people wont have to be subjected to your nonsense. Just a matter of time.[/quote]

Not if you … BELIEVE[/quote]
