    And no real coach or knowledgeable person of soccer is on this site so who cares what’s discussed here.

Most of the female talent does not play for GDA, and even if they did, they appear to be taking recommendations from clubs and coaches that have agendas and personal interests and they are omitting the names of many top players. US Soccer needs to stop this charade or be replaced. They need to do a better job of turning over rocks and finding talent everywhere, regardless of their club, coach, or pedigree. US Soccer methodologies and current scouting system is an abomination for both genders and they better get their act together.
      Who are the top players that are being omitted? How do you know they are being omitted and have simply indicated no interest?

      Who would replace US Soccer and conduct this intensive search you suggest here? How should they actually go about finding talent "everywhere"? What costs do you think would be associated with that effort? How would that effort actually be made?

      Isn't it easy to just bitch about it instead of offering salient solutions for the soccer community to ponder?

USSF will continue to try and consolidate power, control and grab as much player market share as they can. They will not work with competing platforms to try and better US soccer.
        Who is competing with USSF for national players?

          This is another classic reason why US soccer sukkks! - and it’s the seniority approach with the BSCs, CFCs and others -not that these clubs don’t have elite players but more that the clubs like Yankee are ignored.
          An NT recruit wouldn’t dare show up at an NPL game but Personally JM doesn’t need that EARLY nonsense anyways she’ll get her turn if she continues to develop on the college level.
          What makes you believe this? Where is the comparative data or information that would objectively prove your perception here as valid? What national players has she competed with and clearly shown herself better than? How is her not being selected proof that US Soccer is "crooked"?

          How is Yankee United being ignored? Do they not have the ability to participate in events and showcases as other clubs can?

          Have you any proof that a NT recruit wouldn't dare to show up at an NPL game? Are you stating categorically that there has never been a NT recruit that played in an NPL game?
          Are you that myopic?

            And your proof of this is......................???

              considering how many kids play HS in this state and how many make AA it certainly does mean something
              did you win HS AA in any sport?
              did any of your kids in any sport?
              have any of your friends or your kids friends won? starting to get the point?

                The primary competitive battle is for players/clubs = market share. It's also not a good look when top players and clubs in the US opt to stay in ECNL. To push players into some of the poor clubs in the GDA system just to have them there? Not good for their development. To only chose GDA players for NT call-ups? Short sighted and politically obvious. To pressure players to join or risk not getting more callus? Self serving.

                  Please provide us with your in-depth analysis of former AA winners, boys and girls.

                    USSF has it posted on their website, it’s clear as day “ USSF recruits do not attend NPL games due to budget restraints and competition level”
                    The USSF recruiting platform sukkkks....period! That goes for the Boys and girls so get over it.

CFC Academy is run by Dave Clarke who runs US Soccer Training academies and is the assistant coach for the USNT U17 team. She has been scouted many times. Hasn't been invited to a camp yet.
                      theres your proof that camp invites are rigged
                      2 CFC kids get camp invites -they dont stay invited but the invites seem to be the trophy here
                      yet the best player in the same state doesnt get the invite and the same guy has seen all 3 kids (they are all good )- now there is a year difference and that may be reason. but 2 CFC invites none for YU


                      again i dont think its a YU thing i think its a CFC in thing

                        whose budget are they tslking about
                        they dont give a **** about budget when they invite these kids to camp - a week in Cali or yexas on the kids dime
                        want to get serious about recruiting the best?- invite the kids USSF is willing to pay the freight for- now you will get some serious evaluation of talent because now its going to cost $5K a mistake

                          Or, 1) she just wasn't NT material? Nah, couldn't be. 2) USSF politics. They already don't want to take ECNL players but for now have to include some out of necessity and to keep up the illusion of impartiality. Do you think they want to take a player from lowly old NPL?

                          This isn't a fault of CFC but the system overall. If CFC was that spiteful they wouldn't have even included her. Or, USSF just wasn't interested.

                            It's very much a YU thing. They play in a weak league and they're not developmental savants.

                                Exactly. Many ways in.
                                Opposing coaches with ties to us soccer, odp, league showcases, etc.
                                If your not as good as some people think, the reason is club size, league, race, etc. pick an excuse.
                                I wish the kid well, but my guess is she fades out. UConn is a wasteland for women’s soccer right now. Once again, if a tree falls in the forest and no one is there to hear it, did it make a sound? Maybe she tops out as all New England second team as a senior. That doesn’t get you a nt invite. Again, there are kids on the bench at top 10 programs who have nt experience.

                                Good player and fun to watch, but over rated and unprepared for the next level.
