There are a TOTAL of 81 clubs in the US that have 8 or more D1 verbal commitments in the Class of 2026 which would be roughly half of the team. 9 of them are in the #GirlsAcademy and 72 are in the #ECNL.

https://x.com/imyouthsoccer/status/1944540475873992725?s=46

This is the definition of a cherry picked statistic.

Why D1 only?
Why 8 or more? (Very strange attribute. Why not add in left handedness)



If they were really going to cherry pick, they would have said 14 clubs have 16 or more D1 recruits, only one of which is GA. Using 8 is actually about the most generous to GA they could have been………..

Why not say...

"104 ECNL clubs do not have 16 or more D1 recruits?"

I like...

"104 ECNL clubs failed to commit 16 or more D1 recruits"

This entire conversation is so like a bunch of soccer Mom's arguing over something they know little about personally. Cracks me up, thanks for the chuckle.

Because P4 is the pinnacle of college soccer? Because D1 is higher than D2? Because most kids who play high level club soccer aspire to play for North Carolina and not Eastern Polytechnical school of the Blue Ridge Mountains?

Start a twitter account listing NAIA commitments, I am sure all 7 of your subscribers would be grateful.

You cant even define cherry picked correctly. 🤣


Ummm.... Calling out a specific subset of data in this case P4 or D1 is what cherry picking means.

Here's a link you can use to educate yourself.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cherry_picking
"Cherry picking, suppressing evidence, or the fallacy of incomplete evidence is the act of pointing to individual cases or data that seem to confirm a particular position while ignoring a significant portion of related and similar cases or data that may contradict that position."

I'm a GA patent and I dont mind this post. Nothing to be furious about when iamyouthsoccer is just calling out numbers and not using words to fan the GA v ECNL flamewars or ridiculously untrue data points.

However I still think hes a mega douche.

Here he is playing his guitar.



Hahaha 😆 100% true

Yes, I mean why even go to the those clubs? ... Wait. imyouthsoccer must have been reading how GA folks are critical of him ...

https://x.com/ImYouthSoccer/status/1944517198069768558/photo/1

Guess, you CAN get recruited from the GA!

(That said, he's missing the biggest GA club from my area in any of his stats ... So, I know he's still shorting them!)

Another devastating set of facts for DMV. Only one team from DMV on the list and they only have 2 commits!! There are 13 GA (GA!) clubs with as many as VDA. VDA wouldn't even be a top team in GA!. It's worse than I thought. DMV parents get ready to have your dreams squashed.


This is a silly statistic to look at. A lot of this depends on how many players a club has in a given class. Also, why is power four being used? Who cares? Players need to find the right school for them. Power four or not.

He doesnt want to show D2 NAIA D3 Pro etc because GA these numbers are fairly even with ECNL. Also because of the scale it would probably be hard to do all the pervy insta trolling looking for young female commitment posts.

This is how you use cherry picked data points (P4 only, etc) to define a naritive that can losely be associated with all of college soccer. Which isnt true.
