Originally posted by Unregistered View PostYou did not say that. You asked for HS stars who went to Big time Colleges. Since when is Penn State, Duke, Rutgers, u if Miami, or Brown not a “big time college”? Just because the answer isn’t what you wanted doesn’t mean it’s wrong friend
You have no idea what i wanted. I asked a question and your answer is way off. Implied in Big time is for soccer, given thats what this forum is all about.
No one can possibly think Brown or Miami meet that criteria. Nor does U Conn. So one blue chip soccer school so far.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostCoffey went to BC ..has not played a game for PSU yet. Duke yes, Rutgers and BC are borderline. The rest are not even close. And by the way,Racioppi has graduated so basically you gave me 6 players., 4 of which are marginal over 5 YEARS .. so less than one per YEAR thats nothing.

Is this supposed to be an argument against playing HS soccer? Of course HS soccer doesn't contribute to much to a player's development, but it does some. Nor does that justify taking it away for thousands of players who want to play. Many top level players played in HS and continued to be top players in college. Some college players flame out, but playing HS isn't why that happened. It means they over-reached for their programs, they didn't keep working hard at their craft, or the coach judged poorly.

i read the list posted above and with great respect, the only player who lived up to the hype on that list is Racioppi.

Originally posted by Unregistered25 View Postand no one has said take it away. Players should do what is best for them.ive read so many testimonials on the benefits of HS soccer and yet so many of the "stars" this area talked about go to College and really dont have the level of impact we were led to believe they would by all the hype.

Originally posted by Unregistered99redbaloons View PostBut if the argument is that most of the development comes from their clubs and their own hard work then where does the blame lie? It isn't because they play high school for three months. The NE isn't a soccer powerhouse like say the west coast. Weather? Poor quality clubs? Less of a soccer culture? Other reasons?
-Clubs get paid no matter what as long as they fill slots
-People celebrate commits period. They dont look any deeper
- Very few "hungry" kids in the system based on the way its designed.
I agree with you. Many factors, but 3 months of HS is not one of them.

HS ball is there to keep the kids from losing their love of the game. Club ball is often destructive to the kids will to play.
