Your point? No Mass players? (I didn't really look through the list...just a guess.) Do you know anyone? How about from 2013, 2014, 2015 or 2016? I know some from those age groups. -

At least the 2017 rankings have a little more diversity than the preceding years. There are precisely 5 non ECNL players out of the 59 players identified on the Topdrawer regional rankings for 2013-2016. Seacoast has 1, NEFC has 1, Oakwood has 1, and Yankee has 2. Compare that with the Stars who have 18, CFC who has 16, Scorpions who have 15, or SoccerPlus who has 4. Topdrawer is not a very objective ranking source.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Top drawer is a shill for ecnl. Surprised they have any non ecnl playersOriginally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

I agree! If your not on an ECNL roster then you will have a very tough time getting on this list.Comment

Same argument as being seen by college coaches. Why would scouts go to random events when they can see "top players" in one place at an ECNL showcase? I guess just another example of how ECNL can be beneficial. That is if you actually care about being ranked on TDS which apparently you do.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Maybe so, but what happens when they get to a game a realize the kid is not as good as advertised?Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

I hate to break it to you but many of those girls are as good as advertised. That's not to say that there are sure to be other girls who are not on the list who are also great players. But please don't take away anything from those who are on the listOriginally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

They realize they are kid and still grade them. Not sure anyone really cares what a rag thinks about kids but its kinda creepy how much time they spend following this one group. Anyone every check the author of these articles and find out their qualifications?Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

No, kids end up over committing and then transferring. It's a huge problem. Far better to know the truth and react accordingly.Comment

Why would you just make a guess?Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
One young lady is ranked 9 in the country. I find that rather impressive.
Big problem with TS: nobody reads anything and then they still find something to say.Comment

This email will give you some insight into how TopDrawerSoccer works. What is not real obvious is this event costs $90 to attend. Essentially TopDrawerSoccer works like a Payola scheme where you have to pay to influence your ranking.On behalf of TopDrawerSoccer.com, I would like to invite you to attend our New York Combine on Saturday, June 29th at the Mitchel Athletic Complex. Technical Director Alecko Eskandarian, Assistant Coach of the New York Cosmos, and I have invited the top female players in the region to participate in this one day event.
Over 20 college coaches (from DI, DII, DIII, and the NAIA) will be in attendance to scout and recruit those participating. Players will also be evaluated by the college coaches on our staff. These evaluations will let you know exactly what your strengths and areas of improvement are, and will go up on your TopDrawerSoccer.com player profile for coaches throughout the country to see. In addition, there will be an in-depth recruiting seminar to let you know exactly how to go about contacting college coaches.
So that we can try to accurately rank the top players in your specific region, TDS Combines are also used to evaluate our regional rankings.
To see the current list of colleges scheduled to attend the New York Combine click here. New colleges will be added weekly, so check back often. To find out more information about our past Combines click here.
Reserve your spot now for the New York Combine.
If you have any questions about the event, please feel free to contact me directly.
Congrats,
Charlie Nobile
