Again, like with Arlington, Union, Bethesda, and all others to follow, we have to compartmentalize that some are recruited for being student athletes and others for athlete students[/quote]

How many of these players will get any playing time next year? [/quote]

Who knows?  And it depends on things that have not happened yet like how thye come into camp.  But why is this a point for you?  [/quote]
It’s a point because people here are making way too much out of which players from which clubs are going to which colleges. It will matter so little in 2 years. Most of the players will either never see the field or quit altogether before they finish college. Even the ones who do play will be done with soccer once they graduate. It’s like making a big deal about which team a player’s on at U10. After a few years no one cares anymore including the player. Why does anything except the academic credentials matter for where someone goes to college?[/quote]

Because for some parents,  they want to say, "My son/daughter goes to Duke" irrespective of how the child was admitted and whether it is a good fit academically for them.  There are people who can't stomach the thought of their child being a student at Mason or ODU and having people in their social circle know it.

It's very similar to the relatively recent college entrance scandal.  There were parents who "needed" to say their daughter went to USC, as opposed to somewhere like Fresno State or CSU LA. [/quote]

Keep telling yourself that you’d pick ODU over Duke even if your kid wasn’t academically prepared for Duke… 😂 Kids coming out of Duke no matter how they do academically are gonna be better off career wise than kids coming out of ODU. No one is choosing ODU over Duke if they can help it. [/quote]
Of course anyone would choose Duke over ODU. Assuming they could afford it. But that’s not the point. The point is that anyone that gets accepted to Duke to play soccer is either 1) a regular youth national team player with legit pro talent (a true unicorn not any of your daughters) or 2) an academic star (top of class, perfect SAT) who would have had a shot to get into Duke without soccer[/quote]

Right, and these are people on th3 Duke wom3ns soccer team who are not #1 above. At all. So how did they make the team?[/quote]
