Originally posted by Unregistered View PostGood to hear. With all this talk of Oregon soccer is mediocre and so watered down, college coaches came out full force to recruit regular oysa players.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostI agree. To be fair, they were not "top" programs. I saw one D1, two D2, and the rest D3/NAIA/JC. The people who like to scream and argue about ECNL and academy being the only way to go will sneer at that. But I've been around long enough to know that many of those ECNL/academy "elite" commit kids end up barely playing in college, or not playing at all, or transferring from school to school. There's something to be said for being humble and self aware and finding a school that is a good fit academically AND soccer wise. For the vast majority of Oregon players - whether they have ENCL, academy, or OYSA on their resume, the coaches at the showcase were very appropriate for their level and ability.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostYou are hitting on an important point. D1 coaches are out looking at freshman and soph's (They already have their older commits) and the majority of the players in OYSA can play college but its not going to be at a D1 level. There is absolutely nothing wrong with a player who loves soccer, playing at a D3 level or any other level. This event was very good for the majority of OSYA players.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostThis may be true for girls? But not for boys. D1 schools usually don’t sign boys until their senior year from my understanding.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostFor NCAA DI and DII, only players that are seniors (boys and girls) in high school, or juniors graduating early, can't sign until their final year in high school. For 2019/2020 graduates, signing started November 13, 2019 and continues until August 1, 2020.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostThere is a difference between signing for a school and being offered and accepting. Girls D1 and D2 do look at freshman and sophmores because Girls physically develop earlier so they get recruited earlier, boys grow later, so coaches want to see them later in their development.
Read the newer rule for verbals. Better look up the word "recruit" while you're at it.
