    Yeah, before coaches realized they could land better talent from overseas.

      There are moments where you do see CT kids playing better than those who play International, however, college coaches are ignorant.

        Solid as in what?

        On the BSC website it said for past two years that the one kid was committed to UNC, seems like a big drop -but In a way makes sense since he’s also the one that did a PG at SK.
        Probably the grades didn’t make the cut.

          Nope, the Alumni is getting pissed after handing over all that dough to watch International players play. Especially when the donors are Homegrown.
          Do you remember the 80s?

            He wants to major in Chemistry. I don’t think grades are an issue. UNC gets national level talent; they recruited other centerbacks

              They are? Is that what DA told you? Then why do the %s of foreign players on American college rosters (all divisions) seem to be rising every year?

                I assume you’re talking about the 1981 team? Do you have a link to that roster showing players by hometown with stats, etc, I can’t seem to find one anywhere.

                    According to the Wall Street Journal, the percentage of foreign students of US College attendees has risen from 3.5% to 4.8% in the past eight years. That is a significant increase in their opinion.

                      That is over 33% increase. You dont find that significant? I was speaking more about soccer only and those %s of foreign players is likely over 40-50% of each teams entire athletic money at most achools.

                        No discussion here about recent CT player defections from UCONN?

                        Both NP and AD transfer to St Johns. Not a good look for the program locally.

                          AD did not transfer to St Johns

                            Why is it “not a good look for the program”? Do you know why NP transferred? Of course you don't. Maybe it was for academic fit? Maybe it was for family reasons? It clearly wasn’t because of playing time. NP is a minor loss, solid player and contributor, but will be replaced easily at a program like Uconn. You’re incorrect on AD, not sure why you would post something so stupid without verifying it?
