Actually it is 5 out of 7 and one of the 2 that weren't ECNL plays for UFA...which is in ECNL for 2020-21...but I see your point, it's more like 8.3 out of 10, not 9 out of 10! Freakin ECNL kool-aid drinkers!!! -
You people are idiots.....
No one said you HAVE to play ECNL to play D1. Top P5 has 60-70% of the team coming from ECNL. Sure D1 schools have players from other leagues. The issue wasn't that ONLY players from other leagues but a matter of difficulty to get into one of those schools.
Look, simple thing is ECNL makes it easier to get noticed but isn't the end all be all of college soccer. You don't need ECNL to play in college. ECNL will help if you want to get into a P5 school. It will also help to get looks from schools you may have never considered.
If your D dreams of playing for Temple, LaSalle, U of Delaware, NJIT, Monmouth or St Joe then just about any D1/2 USYS, GA or ECNL/ECRL team should do the trick. If D wants to play for UNC, Stanford, Duke and those types of schools then she better have the grades and play for ECNL or be prepared to wage a massive campaign to get noticed.Comment

Yeah, except it wasn't for lack of trying...Temple would've fallen over themselves to get some ECNL players, they couldn't seal the deal. Oh and the coach who signed the illustrious 2019 recruiting class was canned at the end of the season and is back at a DII school where his entire classes of non-ECNL recruits are more typical. Temple is a bad example...Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Funny, Temple has been trying to recruit my ECNL daughter along with 2 of her teammates. I don't think any of them have ever contacted themOriginally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Very accurate analysis! But the PDA kool aid drinkers will tell you that a whopping 9 out of 10 D1 players come from ECNL! The propaganda machine never stopsOriginally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

I think the point is more how good is your kid relative t mine and what are her College soccer options. I dont care if your team beats hers. Not relevant really.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Makes it sound like the player picks ECNL if she wants to play at a better school. Her talent determines that. A players are options are based on her talent. Club choice IS a pyramid that is a function of talent in environments where talent is rewarded. In the USA, talent is not how players are selected for a Club.Clubs will tend to be collections of families from similar demographics that can afford to pay. Talent is then factored in.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

I’d wager that 75% of scholarship money goes to ECNL players.Comment

One more for the kool aid drinkers that say 9 out of 10 D1 players come via ECNL. Northwestern class has 4 ECNL and 5 non-ECNL.....Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Great, most of those are DA now GA clubs...Remind me how NW did last year? 5-10-3 from what used to be a semi strong team.....Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

When you say non-ECNL your including DA. When you combine ECNL/DA the numbers are higher. Put that in your glass and start drinking. Of those NW class of 9 how many of those non-ECNL played EDP, NPL, etc.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment
