That’s not quite the way it works. Coaches can help a certain number of players. The academics have to be good but the help is significant.
Agree. No athletic $$, but athletics can get you admitted when you otherwise wouldn't be.
Most of the schools on the list you would hope the player can get in without soccer. It is harder getting on the team vs getting in the college.
Did you look at those lists? Many of the schools on that list would be a lottery pick if you had top grades and scores.
UPenn
Vanderbilt
Davidson
Carnegie Mellon
Emory
Princeton
Stanford
MIT
echo this. You look at this list and last year’s, a big chunk of the schools are sub 10% acceptance rate. Even your best student around here would be rolling the dice to get in, without legacy or other ++.
And to the weirdo who says you can get your kid onto the team with a large donation- have you seen the endowments at most of these schools? Not happening.
A donation within the means of people in this area will not get your kid on any team at a decent school. People here are rich but not with an extra million to throw away.
Grab a clue. Families in the DMV are donating LARGE amounts of money to get their kids on the end of rosters. 2 of them signed last week at top 20 schools. People are just afraid to call them out...and when they go to social media and blast it in everyone's face it just shows you the arrogance.

VDA has their whole list posted. Looks like almost full 06/7 team recruited for college teams, about 25% to Power 4 including the YNT player to Stanford-- good for her.
What are you guys seeing?
VA Union has multiple players heading to UVA, another to Duke and another to UCLA. Must be an amazing team.
It is an amazing team. 2nd place in MA currently.
So not quite good enough for the postseason, got it!
If you think anyone at that age group cares about the postseason, you really don't understand and should let the adults in the room talk instead.

It’s overrated to play in the postseason at U19. Most of the team is about to report or has already reported to college and it’s an injury risk as well, right before you start preseason. Most of the club team is usually recruited too by then (minus maybe a trapped player or two) so the showcase aspect is not as critical. It’s also expensive and most of the other teams are missing players too so it’s not even a true representation of what the competition would be at younger ages. My older daughter went and it was a waste. We were playing with half a team, and a B team goalie who was pulled up because ours had already gone to college for summer classes.
Almost no one wants to go to playoffs at that age group. Indeed in the past teams that have qualified have declined to go so lower ranked teams are given the slot. D1 reporting is close after so there is no interest in an injury or the expense of travel.

Even players in college going into the transfer portal are tagging him on X, pretty nuts.

Is the Duke commit even a starter on that union team?
Is the UVA commit even signed...UVA did not announce anything?
