Knowing the guy, I’m certain he pushed the local guy to increase the ranking. He’s very slick like that. He has no qualms about greasing people’s palms. The thing is the kid has to be able to play. In his case the kid really couldn’t and the most important part is the college coaches actually saw that and expressed no interest. His game plan didn’t actually work in the end.
A good payer who is mis ranked or not ranked at all can stay there for years unless someone does the right thing.

I don't care if you believe this or not. Take your head out of the sand once in a while, you may actually learn something.

Some kids rec'd stars when they were 14 or 15. It's a different game at 16, 17 and 18. Some kids improved that may have been overlooked before. Some stagnated. Some are not even playing soccer anymore so dropped out. nothing's perfect.

Originally posted by Unregistered View Postits sometimes in the Club coaches best interest because it keeps the palm greaser greasing. Kid gets a ranking, Club coach says look at the job im doing. It all ends badly unless the kid can play. Coach loses credibility and you cant put a price on that. Some guys do it so often they just point to the few who justified it and ignore the rest. One of th top rated 2018s in the NE was totally overlooked for years Always behind players from the big Clubs. Did not stop the best ACC schools recruiting her. Eventually the ranking wen up .
