The end of early recruiting?

Like I said. More get identified to find 20. What I said is if you are not identified early, you have a snow balls chance in hell. Maybe an occasional unicorn.

Agreed. Very rare to find a diamond in the rough in girls soccer after U14. Some stars do flatline at that age but rare for a "late bloomer" to rise to the top U14 and above.

Yes that's why US soccer training centers evaluate 11 to 14 year olds girls for youth national team potential.

They dont identify anything if they did they might get the best players to choose from. What they get is referals from insiders that dont go out and look for talent they just get looks from whatever club they are affilated with.
The best current player in this state is not on their watch list- that makes no sense- i have no idea if she is good enough but they dont either, and she may very well be
Thats the problem

Is that you LaVar? Tell us how you would beat Jordan 1 on 1 again. If Madrid had your kid and Yankee had Ronaldo, Yankee would still suck but Madrid would be better right?

Last year it was JM as voted by the people who are supposed to know
But it dorsnt matter who it is and what stae youre talking about. The point is
Ct should have 10 kids at every age group at regional camp same with RI mass obviously more and so on. Finding the best takes work because they arent always at ODP or a big club
But this wont change until they actually want the best-

It seems the big difference between the US and the rest of the world is that from about 14 or 15, every day in the foreign club is climb or wither against your peer set which is probably a good sized pool of hungry kids that I is constantly being turned as talent comes and goes. The pressure must be intense. Here, you make the one cut at 14/15, you're pretty much assured A team status for the remainder of your club days. Does the US develop fine players. Sure. But that honing all of the time in the foreign clubs truly produces some wondrous talent. I just don't think the US has a big enough talent pool or the infrastructure to run through a grinder like that. Pulisic survived that life and may become the greatest field player the US has ever produced. A truly wonderful talent.

Odp is dead. No one will go near that rotting carcus. Mario is a good guy. Not his fault.

Go look at is wlmens team bios and find me a late bloomer who was a field player. Doubt you find one. Maybe a goalie who grow a couple inches and gets more athletic. Face it dbag.....you have no facts to support your theory. Apparently you don't like mine Which includes all the Ct players in the last 5 years and all the new women's national pool players.

The intense, brutal process does not exist in the US because of the college
scholarship option - simple.

The rest of the world has no college option. It's up or out. A very brutal but
stunningly efficient process.

Seeing that she didn't start playing soccer until 14, she was identified pretty quickly. She was called up to the u17 national team camp. Tore her acl playing against boys, but was back at 17 years old on the u20 national team.

You still want to use her as a late bloomer example.

Jack Azz!

I'm sorry your kid hasn't even been identified in a diminished odp program, her hs program and her club b team or college coaches. Maybe she will walk on to penn state and make the uswnt for the next World Cup because her dad walked on to a middling college program in the 80s.
