    there are no giant (elite) clubs in ct .... simply midgets of slightly different statures

      I'm the OP. My son is being recruited by d3 and low d1. My question was does being named all state mean anything to college coaches. Like, my son also has 3 stars on Top Drawer soccer, and I know that means nothing to coaches. Is All State meaningless or does it mean something, that's all. Never asked , or thought, it was a "predictor " of recruitment.

        its a nice award but it means nothing to college coaches on its own
        if your son is being recruited they have seen him play and like what they saw (all state or not)- lots of kids in college playing who weren't all state and lots of kids not playing who were. for a million different reasons

          Actually D1 college coaches list out bios for their players (D3 not so much-not often much to brag about ) and top drawer ranking and high level awards are in fact listed out. If your kid is not ranked on top drawer either your kid fails to play for a league worth noting or they are not a player worthy of a ranking. You do have to create an account with topdrawer for your kid to be on radar for ranking.

              Many programs don't list TDS ratings. Coaches know it's a joke. They will list major accolades like all state, all region etc, even lesser ones if there's not much to talk about

                As was said, they will either like him or not based in performance in the field. The award won't matter. If he'd been named all star as a frosh that would have possibly gotten him on a few more radars but coaches still pursue players based in seeing them on the field.

                    Not the poster but pre school soccer - which is a completely different animal than public school and has it's own All state award group - has loads of foreign kids dominating and getting recruited to top US universities.

                        The Vegas line on a prep school game vs public easily opens at -3 (AOF) and -5 (Berkshire, South Kent) vs Hall, Glastonbury, Greenwich and Farmington. EASILY!

                          Loomis used to scrimmage a few of the top LL schools. Yes, sometimes they won and yes believe or not in your foolish little prep world....they lost on a consistent basis.
                          Prep as well as Academy soccer the most over rated thing in the soccer world.

                            Used to? That already is your red flag. Lets get it straight. The top LL teams will have friendlies against other LL teams in another league. Glastonbury plays a jamboree vs Staples, Greenwich, etc.

                            Farmington played AOF and majority of starters from AOF sat out and it was a JV vs Farmington game. ( which is how most do it in sports vs Prep schools...Public vs JV teams) Hockey, hoops, tennis etc.
                            It is pretty simple, look at the prep league boys college placements vs public. The Vegas line isn't even posted for that because it is not even close.

                              is that because the majority of prep school starters are 20 years old- asking for a friend

                                The JV players or bench players at the Preps are about the age of the Varsity kids at a public school so it makes more sense. Thank you for the clarification.
