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
How many of these players will get any playing time next year?
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?
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?
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.
