[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you know the family it was Duke or bust. They are an alumni family and huge fans as well as being a very nice family. [/quote]

We had a family on our daughters club team that was so NICE.  They were alumni of an ACC school and huge fans and dreamed of their daughter going there and playing.  Their daughter was a very good player and a very hard worker and a great student.  She never got a sniff from that ACC school.  I wonder what the difference might have been?  [/quote]

I just watched a D1 college game last night.  Is apparent some Coaches want big, strong, fast and physical players.  They won't even look as speedy, small, technical players.  [b]There were very few technical skills on display at that game last night.[/b] Hard to survive as a technical player when you are going to get ran over by a mac truck on game day.  I think that might be a non-starter for some D1 schools.[/quote]

This is why most college grad soccer players end up at USL now NWSL.  They just can't compete. Sure.. you are on a "pro" team but there are less fans than the college games and the skill level is atrocious.  Recently most D1 college grad soccer players - even the ones that have played every minute of every game at Duke or UVA can't make the cut at the real pros. Play soccer in college for the current college benefits - get a degree and move on.  Playing in USL is just not worth the 35K salary.  Take a look at how many academy players there are. Take a look at how many of the college super stars are now NOT getting National team callups, not playing any minutes and not making a living wage.
