      Leave girls alone and let them make their own choices!

      Nobody can make their own choices at these tuition costs. If you take less grant money (or none at all )you had better have a serious reason why you want to change schools.

        WOW! This whole entire post is pathetic!! You are bashing players and parents whom you don’t even know! Past and present who have done absolutely nothing to deserve any of this! You parents should be ashamed of yourselves. As a past coach I would be appalled to have these type of parents on my team. Just jealousy I guess! This is exactly what someone else wrote in about previous. You all are just living up to your poor reputation as a whole! Poor things!!!

            Here's a hint: teach them to deal with adversity instead of quitting and learn to take responsibility for your own life instead of leaving things up to your parents and letting them make all the choices.

            URI team underperformed. These girls were part of the problem. If they had performed, the program would have had better results. While the coaching may have been poor, it is the girls on the field who play the game, not the coach. Time to look in the mirror and realize that 1. You're not going pro. 2. You were on the team when it played like crap. 3. You are leaving/looking to leave and find another program that isn't underperforming 4. Maybe the issue wasn't the team/coach/whatever. Maybe it was you.
            Amen .... The parents would rather bitch, blame the coaches or non serious players than think their kid is the part of the problem.

              Unless your an impact player in which case a coach will find $$ you are most likely taking what's available in a one year prove it type deal. These girls were not those type of players.

                Several of the girls that left were big scorers in their programs. So they were not only used to wins but point totals as well. Two were POY in their sections of Ma. We shall see if they do better elsewhere. Div.1 is a different ballgame.

                      So these posts began after the beginning of the season and then there was a lull, there was nothing else to talk about the team wasn’t doing well. People were bored stopped posting. Then all of a sudden a few girls decided to transfer out of the school and this gave all the bored parents something else to begin talking about! Really??? It’s not your business, it doesn’t affect you or your child so Stop being Asses!! If your child decides to leave next spring, fall whatever you will be next on the talking soccer hit list! Get a life and stay out of it! Doesn’t affect you what these girls do next season or how they play! All that counts is they are happy where they are! The parents are like this, hence the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree!!

                        None of you have any clue what these girls got for money, it’s all false facts that you are posting! What if they got more money, less money, no money at all?? Why does that bother you enough that u feel the need to bash them?

                          Like the last person stated, get over it and move on! Try worrying about your own kids and seeing how they will perform instead

                              I think it's an important topic. Not specific to these players but the transfer rate of womans soccer in general. These kids committ way too early, some as early as freshman year of high school. Inevitably coaching changes happen and players fall in and out of favor. The best deal is always when the most money is available. Some schools will have money available for transfers but most coaches use up their scholarships trying to protect their jobs by winning games. The most cost conscious coach won't keep his job if he doesn't win games. I hope these girls did well financially. I have my doubts having gone through the process. I do think they will be psychologically better if they feel like they are in a place that appreciates what they bring. I hope that at some point the NCAA reigns in the recruiting process. Maybe the cesspool that is basketball recruiting violations that are coming to light brings sweeping reforms to all sports. Jmo

                                This is the AD's fault at URI. The salary is very poor but he was determined to hire a women. He hired the GK coach from Wake, she had no collegiate coaching experience except as GK coach. It was a very curious hire that is turning out to be a disaster. The job pays $35-40 K less than BU,NU, Prov, Harvard, UMass and a $100 less than UConn or BC.
