Agreed, but it answers poster #70's question of did those kids even make the roster. Perhaps I'll update the full season for the 2011 D1 kids, but that is really for a different thread.

Haters - get back on the topic please. Lets focus on the 2012 class and stop trying to bash previous classes accomplishments!

Actually, it dorsn't completely answer the question. There were a half dozen MPS players listed on their web site as committed to schools that never appeared on the rosters of those schools. There are also now, 2 years in,kids who have dropped off certain rosters. The reasons could be many, whether that's a time, academic, or transfer issue.

The point is that there are many on this forum that take these lists as gospel. The reality is that you're relying on second or third hand information about people whom you know nothing about. You don't know whether they were actually recruited, you don't know a thing about their reasons for choosing a particular school, you don't lnow a thing about the team situation they are in, yet you're willing to pass judgement on their choices and their statistics.

Mostly we are just quietly curious and excited when we see a good player we have watched over the years appear here as a commit to a good school. And mostly, these commits turn out to be true to some degree. We are also happy to see the kids we know personally on our HS or club team celebrated here, and occasional there is a pleasant surprise we hadn't heard about yet. The negative posters are a tiny minority, really. Sadly, they stick out.

Good fit for him and the school. They are graduating 10 players.

Actually 9 seniors on the roster

Playing a 4-5-1 and UMASS didn't score goals. If PA is as potent a scorer in college as he was in HS, then it'll be a good fit.

2012 compared to 2011....

1) More impressive so far overall

2) Big showing from the ISL/prep crowd

3) Very heavy on Ivy/high end academic D1s and NESCAC/elite D3s

These lists tend to highlight the DAP and ISL/prep kids, so no surprise that these are the commits we are hearing about.

Big haul this year for Wesleyan, as Bolts site indicates AR from Rox Latin (2011) committing there in addition to those already listed.

Toolbag - learn to read. Post said "good fit for him and the school" No one said "great"
