That’s soccer wire. Topdrawer featured my dd and she didn’t even have a profile.

Well, yeah, that's how Topdrawer finds people to subscribe. They feature players who don't have a profile and then some number of them get excited because they were featured and they sign up for a premium profile. Trust me, college coaches give zero importance to a player being "ranked" or "profiled" on these accounts. Don't waste your time. Instead, actively send your highlight videos to a wide swatch of schools, follow up with regular updates, showcase schedules, and then ball out on the field when they are there. Rinse and repeat.


It's usually more for the parents ego than the kid's future, especially at younger ages

Parents are the ones with the money
