Originally posted by Unregistered View PostThrough you posters I learned that there are helicopter dads as well as helicopter moms.

My son is an independent thinker and his college decision revolved around his preferred major. And it's only offered at select schools and the soccer was way behind in priority. So why would I waste my time going to see inferior soccer at D3 schools when there is excellent D1 soccer close by.
Get the basement ready for junior when he graduates. Sounds like that's what you've prepared him for. You might want to set up a couch down there for you also. You've probably driven your wife pretty crazy by now also.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostLOL. Nice try. At top 30 and probably at least top 50-60 D3s there are ZERO high school and town players and almost no low level club players. Almost every single player on top 25 teams played a high level of club with most playing DAP. Learn something before you write.
I'm not going to go through the rest, but the bottom line is even the top D3 squads have mid-level players and plenty of D3 have town and HS players. Do your own research, but don't spout lies or try and talk up the level of play. The truth is right there in front of you.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostBS. Amherst College, ranked #2 in New England. Currently has players from Bruno (NEP), NJ Stallions (EDP), GPS, SDFC, Manhattan Soccer Club, etc. Those clubs compete in NEP, EDP, USYS, some in NPL, etc. They also have a number of ECNL players. I never said ECNL players couldn't play D3 and Amherst is a good program, but there are plenty of lower level players on that squad that wouldn't be on a D1 squad.

Admit you're wrong and move on.

BG: 2 year varsity starter (Wow!)
SJ: 3 year varsity starter, played for FC Europa?
That’s 2 out of the first 3 on the roster. Do I need to keep going?

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostThere are 440 D3 Women's soccer programs. I never said Town/HS/Non-Club players were on top D3 teams. I said there were plenty of low level players at the D3 level and there are. However, since you asked, here you go: Tufts Women's Soccer, ranked 4th in NE, has a player who played for Cajun Soccer Club which is part of Lafayette Youth Soccer, a town-based program. Not a premier club, town.
Admit you're wrong and move on.

Because of soccer my daughter got into one of the top NESCACs that she would not have gotten into without soccer. She used her soccer ability to get a foot in the door, just like other students do with D1 scholarships. The NESCACs are need blind, so our FA is awesome, and she is still local enough for us to see her play. She could have gone to a bigger school for just academics, she could have played at UMASS Lowell or UNH, but she loves her small school on a beautiful campus. We are paying the same tuition we would have at one of those bigger schools, but she has been a starter, and is getting a great education. I don't understand why people would argue about this?

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostNope, that's not what was said. If you want to talk about the bottom 100 out of 400 on the women's side, fine. No one said there were no lower level players at the bottom end. The top programs are loaded with high level club players. So you should move on.

And....BTNT is already drunk. So disrespectful to his Dad who is doing a great job again tonight. LOL, BTNT cares more about D3 than the Celtics! Go figure.
