McLean can claim for 2019 a better class before she came over. At the top McLean has a #3 UNC commit. McLean is the better program for her and probably helped her improve her recruitment.

Exactly how did McLean improve her recruiting?

FCV has plenty of very good recruits heading to college this summer.

BRYC has a lot of top recruits in college right now, including the big 10 player of the year & USYNT Player Kaleigh Riehl at Penn State.

Really, like who (besides Riehl) --- I checked the their website, not a lot (if any) of girls at high end top 25 schools right now ---- which is where I would expect to find top recruits. Is their website info inaccurate?

Princeton often recruit in our area, they have the u19 captain at BRYC committed.

Only the ranking can be confirmed, you cannot definitively prove what role McLean had, if any, with her getting accepted into Princeton.

In fact what role did either club have with her HS grades and standardized test scores to qualify for admittance to Princeton on academic grounds? Likely zero. Just getting into the school is an accomplishment that neither club can claim ownership over. So just stop, all McLean did was offer her a seat when the music stopped playing.

Actually the commitment can be confirmed. She was at McLean when she committed to Princeton. They should have just congratulated her separately. Putting her in their list of commits is a lie.

Here's her highlights/recruitment video which she posted this spring, in which she lists herself as an FCV player. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kxz-VdsPTmE

On the other hand, McLean has taken credit for her college commitment based on a total of three months she spent with them this season.

Of course the commitment can be confirmed. The point was that McLean's actual role in her getting it at Princeton aside from her larger body of work that was also time spent at FCV is less clear. Yes, McLean was her last stop of Musical Soccer Clubs but when in doubt I will give the credit to the player before I'll give it to any club. She did the hard work on and off the field. In the scheme of things what club claims her development is just silly at this point.

In fact perusing the college commitments between McLean, BRYC and FCV all the clubs boast lots of commitments, and many D1 but there is a distinct difference in the schools that kids are getting accepted. BRYC probably has the most mid level D1 commits while FCV has a few mid level and some high level D1 commits while McLean boasts IVY and higher Academic school commits. One would think aaaah haaaa! McLean Soccer Club is the golden ticket to Ivy League! That is likely only half right. Living in the McLean zip codes has several socio-economic benefits that play a pretty substantial role in gaining acceptance to Ivy League schools and highly selective colleges.

The timing is bad for FCV. This was the week that the girls signed NLIs. Is FCV saying she signed the NLI with their club? So strange.

Well, if the kid goes to Princeton you can't say they are going to Miami now can you.

Yeah that would compound the lie.
