Impressive! A bunch of the nation's best college programs are on that list. Despite all the bickering over the best leagues, just goes to show what hard work and good coaching will do. Congrats.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

I am curious as to whether they will update the list. IMG typically waits until closer to graduation to publish their list so I understand why they are not on it; I have to think that there are other clubs have not published their lists either.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Congratulations to all these players. I do find it funny how many teams and organizations take credit for some of these players though. For instance, I am from the Jacksonville area and I am familiar with one of these players. She is a DP for a Chicago ECNL team from just last year, switched to Creeks last year, switched to SJCD school from Episcopal just this year (or last) . . . By the time she made all these changes, she had already committed to Duke, yet ECNL, Creeks, NPL, SJCD all take credit for her success and commitment to Duke.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
She's a great player, but none of those programs are responsible for her development or college recruitment but they are all happy to put her on the list.Comment

They were all part of her journey to success, so all legitimately can take a little bit of the story of that journey. Doesn't hurt anyone.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

AGree. Many kids take the path of multiple clubs and I'm guessing that most of them deserve some of the credit. Pretty sure most of her success came from her hard work at those clubs. She wasn't doing it alone.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

You miss the point - she was committed BEFORE she went to those clubs/schools!Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

She gave a verbal, is that what you are saying? so what. hundreds, thousands do every year, and then lots of them change their minds. meaningless. Was she a tot when she gave the verbal? hmmm? or you are saying she transferred around to half a dozen different clubs after she made the commit, for the purpose of what? If she played on a team, they are allowed to use that fact. She isn't doing any of it by herself. Ok, then who should get the credit? in what order?Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

I don't know who (other than the player and her family) should get the credit, but I know it isn't the clubs or school she transferred to for one year -- AFTER she had committed.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

sort of like saying when you work for your Master's the College can't claim you studied there? ok, how about saying you never got that degree then? what an ass you are. You think she stopped developing? or she was so great she didn't need any additional training? what then would be hte point in college, why not just go straight to the NWL? or USWNT? probably because she ISN"T READY. again, you don't like the club she later went to for claiming she went there. we get it. erase the parts you don't like. makes sense. not.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

It's nothing like that at all and I'm not saying she didn't get some quality training at these clubs. I'm saying they are claiming success for her getting into her college commitment BUT that was done before she ever went there. Try to keep up and not be so defensive.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
To use your analogy, its like saying she got admitted to Harvard for graduate school and the summer before she took a typing class from the local community college and that community college saying they are the reason the kid got into Harvard graduate school. It was probably worthwhile typing class, but it didn't have anything to do with her getting into the graduate school.Comment
