Originally posted by Unregistered View PostIt's interesting to look at these lists. Of the top 50, if I'm being generous 15 are schools where academically-minded kids would really want to pursue and attend. A bunch more are "nice" schools, but not what I'd call destinations for kids who are pursuing academics first and foremost.

Not a “powerhouse” program but easily a top 25 school in her major and she already has a $70k starting salary job offer upon graduation. That’s worth more than any bragging about soccer from a kid with an “ology” major from a powerhouse soccer program. End of the line.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostThere's that and many of the top program aren't in this area. Statistically most kids stay a half a days drive from home. Sure some athletes will go further afield but many still like to be closer to home. We don't produce a ton of top US talent (much of it is out west and south) and we have loads of great schools on the east coast. That keepssnd the educationally drive soccer demographic very happy with where they end up

Just to be clear not against clubs or anything. No (real) bad experiences, but I do think anybody who let’s the club lead them around and makes decisions for them is not thinking straight. Make your own decisions and trust in your judgement.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostNational programs look under rocks for gold, including overseas. And there is such a thing as the telephone and Internet to contact them if you think your kid has talent. And top NE clubs travel showcases down south and out west. If these girls love soccer and these top 20 schools reached out then you would see the talent at these schools, correct?

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostIf cuts affect a kid during recruitment years how much should the kid tell coaches? Not an issue currently but the information might matter eventually. Does it look terrible to send a schedule out next year from a different team or is this somewhat common? This time of year takes on added pressure when college contact is in the mix.
