He should be, right? BC is the top athletics school in the area and should be tops in soccer in New England.

BC lost to BU, Northeastern, UConn, and Brown, and tied lowly Harvard this year. Sure they are the best in NE. Or maybe the worst.

nope, child didn't like the 'city' campus, is in a much better place and playing for a great program and having fun

What do you mean by hottest?
It still has a 34-35% acceptance rate which for good students constitutes a "reach" school.
I think what we are seeing is that each student is applying to more and more schools to increase the options, but once the students get admitted they go for the real hottest ones.

NE was way ahead of its time with its co-op program - students there get tremendous work experiences and are better set up for hard to find post-college jobs. That is in large part what is driving the recent large increase in applicants. Now they also have a soccer team that cracked the top 25 nationally in D1. BA is a hot head, but the kids I know who have played for him on Bolts for a few years are dedicated to him, say they learn a lot about the game from him, and they have learned to let the shouting go in one ear and out the other. Some coaches are screamers and constantly negative. He leavens it with strong positives.

Toughen up!

BA is a passionate coach who doesn't sugar coat
things. If this involves some barking and flowery
language then so be it. It's the norm in most
other soccer country's, Alex Ferguson is a good
example.Here our little Baileys and Tads have
been so protected by Mumsy, that they are
shocked by a coach being forthright. Most of
the boys who have played for BA are much
better players and people having done so.

Gives one pause that 5 players from one team ranked 5th in the northeast conference of DAP are going to one college team. By shear happenstance that college team is coach coached by the same coach who who coaches the DAP team (who has also derived income from those 5 players)...a nation wide search .

I will add to this. BA has a great ability to coach the youngest kids as well and without barking or flowery language. He is very capable of adjusting his approach and runs a fantastic training session for the yougest age group. It is a shame that he is not involved more with the younger kids. He might be the best of the group at this age group.

Yeah I Know, I'm the OP and on elite and top drawer there are about 10 kids TOTAL combining both websites for National D2 and D3 national commits. Usually by now there were hundreds on ESPN, which has stopped doing it this year. Maybe it will pick up after the holidays.
