More to come, based upon the promotions in NJ, MI, OR I’m highly predicting NJ team (SJEB or STA - strongly feel it’s STA) and a Midwest/mid America team (Indy Premier or Columbus United - Indy Premier would be a big loss). Outlier could be someone from PacNW Spokane Shadow? I wouldn’t say dominant is the word for any of these teams but Indy Premier as initially reported, but all had a team at Champions Cup.
It seems clear they want to target teams for ECNL only and I think step 2 will be press on current members with MLS Next.
Keep smoking the strong stuff man. ECNL has peaked and everyone knows it.

"This guy" or you?
What's so wrong with the current rankings app?
Whoever it is, they have a lot of work to do. They have Slammers FC, Michigan Hawks and SLSG listed as "established programs" and in the 60-70 percentile. They are not listed as "elite programs"

Also super fun pointing out UNC was there. They are throwing the shade.

They said p4 coaches, not D1. Keep up. (BTW, ECNL gets equally picky with the stats it likes to stress).
Oh and IYSG all haughty on his feed today ... Asking about how GA had way more coaches at this event a few years ago. ... That totally reveals his ECNL bias just to try to make some dig. ... What's way more important is answering the question WHY are there fewer coaches attending these events at both GA and ECNL than a few years ago, not that there are fewer.

Damn you're deep in the nonsense.
For the record never seen a GA hat. But have seen multiple parents wearing ECNL hats.

They are almost all paid roster spots unless you have usynt talent or income issues. Not a great flex

Keep cutting the check to your bottom ECNL club - but at least you can show the badge and brag about all the D1 commits that the top 30 clubs get that the rest of ECNL hangs their hat on.
At least ECNL families can brag about having kids play at the top youth level.
GA is trash and will only get worse as time goes on. Unless NWSL decided to get involved.
Imagine bragging about a paid for roster spot

You say the same thing every spring and its never true.
ECRL can never be better than GA no mater how many times you say it. This is because GA teams are clubs first team and the one they put all their resources behind. ECRL are clubs second team and they get all the ECNL leftovers.
Not sure how much you've kept up, but many clubs now have RL as their top team.
because they took the old USYS NL clubs ... and the first team RL clubs are the better RL clubs ... just like the first team Aspire clubs are the better Aspire club.
Before my DD switched to a GA club, her USYS team beat low level ECNL clubs all the time (actually never lost to them) and they crushed RL clubs. but they were a first team club stuck in USYS and club wasn't big enough to get into the other leagues - tried numerous times (and had 3 of the 6 age groups qualify for Nationals in USYS).
High level GA teams at the national level join ECNL and are middle of the pack. It’s not close stop trying so hard to make GA sound awesome. It’s for those who can’t make it with the big dogs.
Stop trying to make anyone outside the top 30-35 clubs in ecnl sound like they are the same … ecnl hats are the ones that try hard to justify the entire league is the same level … it’s not even close
