I think they do a good job at college placement, but there's a good segment of those players that were committed before moving to FCV.
Curious - where did they "move" from?
Riley McCarthy, Jasmine Hamid, Riley Melendez, and Lauren Teuschl all came from Spirit and all came already committed. Hamid is the #2 scorer.
So 3.5 starters came from another team after committing. How many others joined this team after committing?

On the development of the ones they replaced...not so much.
So those kids left VDA for FCV already?

They are not 3 bench players from VDA. Yes, it would shake up the current 06 team, but iron sharpens iron. Need to trim the fat every now and then.
Just because they are starters for VDA does not mean they will be starters for FCV if they decide to switch teams. Not saying they are bad players and FCV would not love to have them. Just saying if they don't contribute positively to FCVs game they wont play.
If they are not starting at FCV they will not stay. If they are being told to come because of possible NTC invites then it is assumed that they will be starters.
Where will they go?
They will go to the highest level league where they will play meaningful minutes because there are lots of places to go and play soccer. Talented kids will no longer be happy to just be here. If they have options to play soccer they will choose that. Spending 8k a year to watch games becomes less attractive when you can move down the street, get to play and get recruited to play in college. It is real hard to be seen by a college coach when you are riding the bench.
DA posts the minutes played and any college coach can look up a player and quickly determine the player's value to the team. That fact can be hidden at ECNL where minutes are not recorded and sub rules are different. Playing 70-90 minutes at a DA says more about the players quality and worth than 20-30 minutes.

Why did they move?
Different reasons depending on the player. I know Melendez was looking for a better goalkeeping program. LT was unhappy Torres coached a long ball game instead of possession. She wanted a stronger training environment. Great player, I get it.
Etc, etc.

This was FCV's last really good team. Those were the days...
The record for the U17s shows that those days are over.
What does recruitment look like for the U17s? How many of those players are committed?

They will stay. They won't find out until deposits for next year are in the bank.
