[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Every college coach absolutely knows that they can evaluate talent in any scenario.[/quote]

No they can't.  They have to see a player get enough touches where they receive the ball with a chance to do something positive.  On a really bad team, playing much stronger opposition that can simply not materialize - especially for attacking players.

[quote]  The coach at the college where my daughter ended up came to a high school game and stayed 10 minutes.  I figured “that’s a big nope” when he and an asst coach left.  (Stands aren’t exactly packed.).  But, he called her club coach that night to arrange a call (rules at the time required juniors to initiate contact.).  He liked how she ran the pregame as the coach was not there yet.  [/quote]

So he saw leadership and was impressed.  I assume he had already formed a sufficient opinion of technical ability from gametape, or talking to the coach, or the ten minutes he watched (this is perfectly possible if she received the ball a dozen times in that ten minutes), or maybe he only needed to know enough to invite to her a camp or some other environment where he knew he would be able to judge the technical talent appropriately.

Obviously I cannot speak precisely to your DD's situation, but I absolutely know that a good player, and especially an attacking player needs to be playing on a team which is at least somewhat competitive or they risk not being to display what they can do at all.[/quote]
