Originally posted by Unregistered View PostJust look at who gets recruited to top programs or makes NT lists (I think 13 CA players were on the U16 list this last round). It's dominated but West coast players. That isn't just because of the population size but also they're just better players. Also look at who plays the most. On many rosters they may have 6 internationals but those 6 play all the time.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostIt has to do with population but also climate. They can play outdoors year round in CA, TX and FL, and not OW kind of outdoors with shovels and ice picks for the snow, parkas and leggings to stave off hypothermia.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostNo it's more about size and the quality of clubs and soccer culture. FL isn't much of a soccer powerhouse these days. They only had one player on the latest call up, same as CT with a much bigger population and obviously better weather

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostWhy is looking at the U16 team an indicator of where the best players are? Selective example that proves nothing.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostFor one team definitely. Someone posted about the U20s not having many CA players, yet they do have a lot of West coast players. But "in general" the west coast and a few other states do "generally" dominate the NT lists and top D1 recruiting. CT certainly isn't a big player on the national stage. We get a unicorn very rarely.

Coincidence? I think not.
