And you’re further missing the point of this discussion, which is which club is doing the best developing players as measured by offers, so it’s entirely relevant whether the offers are D1 or D3, and whether they’re good D1 programs (SC, Georgetown, WF) or not (Stetson).

There are mediocre D3 and there are Great D3. I rather see my DD play 100% then watch her ride the bench all through college.
Time to get Educated

D3
Johns Hopkins University
Amherst College
Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)
Emory University
University of California – Santa Cruz
Tufts University
Carnegie Mellon University
University of Chicago
New York University
Washington University in St. Louis

Imagine a girl who is on one of the top teams in NOVA. Great soccer player, smart and wants to play freshman year through senior year.
Hey coach, she says. John Hopkins is offering an academic scholarship, what should I do?

And what is Lynchburg? Let's say I buy your argument for the sake of the discussion. Are you saying Lynchburg is a Johns Hopkins?

ODU
Redford
Longwood
VCU

What about them? Yes, those are four D1 programs.

Are you saying a player who’s offered any of those D1 schools should pick it over

John Hopkins University
Amherst College
Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)
Emory University
University of California – Santa Cruz
Tufts University
Carnegie Mellon University
University of Chicago
New York University

Schools like CNU and Lynchburg are actually ranked academically better than many D1 colleges. My point is school should be picked over soccer. All it takes is one injury or becoming a benchwarmer to realize the truth. As a coach I tell my players and parents look at the big picture and give yourself a 20 year plan. What college is going to help you the most when you graduate, because no college coach is going to help you get a career.

Folks, this is ridiculous. I think maybe, just maybe, they are looking at players on an individual basis, not waving them in simply based on club affiliation? Give me a break. The reason people choose and get chosen has very little to do with specific club affiliation anymore than where I went to high school is more important than SATs and APs in getting into elite colleges. Don’t confuse causation and correlation. Otherwise I worry that a lot of you made or had pretty bad decisions to make for yourselves when you decided where to go to school.

I don't disagree, but I would say the training environment of the club and the competition it plays contribute to preparing players to be chosen. So lower level clubs prepare for lower level recruiting, and higher level clubs prepare players for higher level programs.

Lower level players train at a lower level.

girls - 3 for McLean, 3 for FCV, 4 for Richmond

Are they all D1?

Who cares if they are d1 or not? It’s about the education. These are 3 great clubs.

If they are all D3 commitments, then it isn't leading in prime ECNL commitments. Players playing NPL still get D2.

We aren't talking academic scholarships. Hell, if a player doesn't want to play in college at all, that's fine. But when we are talking about leading in colleg commitments, the real question everyone is asking is D1 and which D1.

D3 soccer has proven to be better than D2. Most D1 soccer coaches look into D3 for transfers. There are many D1 soccer schools that can be beaten by D3 schools.

So then all those commitments are D3? Is that what you are saying?

D1, none of the commitments are D2 or D3. Most of not all of the 03 committed are D1.

Incorrect. Some of the Richmond United commitments are D3.

Not 03

03. It was on their Twitter. She's going to Lynchburg. It's D3 all day long.

What an a**hole. Sounds like an FCV parent

Sounds like somebody got owned and is lashing out.
