[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No telling what will happen the next couple of months but there are some big changes coming. GA/MLS have been dropping nothing but great news these past few months.

I still think ECNL comes and takes the rest of the top girls programs in GA, but if they don’t do it this year, it may be the beginning of the end.

They must’ve really pissed off MLS/US Soccer with that BY/SY crap[/quote]Meh. They are divying up EDP level more than poaching each other. The giants are eating the ants, they aren't Godzilla battling yet.

Seems real late for MLSN to be recruiting for a brand new league that will double the size of their fiefdom and will start in about 8 months when ECNL has been recruiting for months and is set to announce their new entrants in a few weeks. Based on timing, might be a Hail Mary play by  MLSN.[/quote]
You're trying to make it sound like MLS doesn't have a huge stack of requests from ECNL clubs looking to join and have maintained the stack for several years.[/quote]

They do not.  No ECNL club will put in for MLSNext until the last day at the last minute and only if they are told they are in before it goes in.  There is no stack.  Could clubs move -- sure but nothing for MLSNext is on the table at the moment.[/quote]
Take off the ECNL goggles for a few minutes and look at what MLSN + GA are offering.

With MLSN a club could double or triple the number of boys playing. Switching from ECNL girls to GA might not be ideal but you're likely not going to lose that many players.

This is how clubs think when deciding which leagues to participate in. [/quote]

Yup, if people already think that ECNL boys is weak and not able to bring in talent, they'll jump at the opportunity to bring in MLS where they can have MLS2 and add talent to third team of players hoping to break into the second team.  Especially if you are middle of the pack on the girls side of ECNL.  GA will grow and improve, clubs are smart and will take on the opportunity if it presents itself.[/quote]

So then MLS Next dilutes and gets weaker. And round and round we go. [/quote]

How exactly does MLSN get weaker?
The weaker clubs/teams will be MLSN 2 and the more competitive clubs will be MLSN.

Also, does GA now get GA2 or does DPL come into play? [/quote]

I would think that GA2 or some form of it would come into play as the league grows. I guess we'll have to wait a few more weeks until announcements start rolling out.  I imagine by the end of February many should be out in time for ID sessions/tryouts.[/quote]
