Two MA players on those teams, LB of ND and DM of Louisville. Both 2010 players who finished their careers well, especially LB with a goal in the finals. Also they were the two MA POY's, one Gatorade and the other NSCAA.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Doesn't seem like a deep class.Comment

It is still very early. I looked back at 2012 commitments and on Jan. 18, 2012 there were 13 players listed. This list actually is longer. A bulk of acceptances only recently went out in the last 2 or 3 weeks and my guess is this forum is not the first place people broadcast their intentions.Comment

Vassar is d3 how can one commit to a place that has no scholarship? What is one "commiting" to? There is no national letter of intent. Does that mean he got into the school and will play soccer there too?Comment

It shows what all the time and money for soccer is worth. For some it is a way to get into a better college. A way of keeping score. 2-3 kids a year make a mark on national college scene. About 10 a class make it to top college level, div 1.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Only on this site can someone find something negative to say about a kid that decides to go to Vassar. Harvard does not give athletic scholarships either so how can one commit to Harvard ?Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

One can commit by applying Early Decision. The student is committing to attend, if accepted. Less formally, one can receive a letter from the coach that the coach will support the applicant with the admissions staff. Often, the applicant has indicated to the coach that the coach's school is the applicant's 1st choice. So it might mean the applicant has already been accepted, or it might be more a handshake/moral agreement. Either way, it means the applicant will have a chance to play soccer, which for many coaches is an obligation that they won't cut the applicant their freshman year. In subsequent years, it's up to the player to earn a spot on the team by playing well enough.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

a lot of good schools on this list. the question I have is will these players play? it seems like a lot of players mentioned in the past few years, only a 1/3 or so end up actually on the team.Comment

Many top D3s do the bulk of their recruiting through the early decision process and are now at work on the class of 2015 (HS juniors).Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

OP here. My primary target is parents of Soph/Jun players. The idea is to help them gauge how many and what type of player is going to the various levels in college. These parents often are aware of the kids a year or two ahead, so hopefully this helps them aim there kid at the right level. I know that doing this analysis has helped me as a coach better advise players. I prefer not to have any individual discussion of players, as that can sometimes lead to trouble. So if I do comment, it is always in a positive vein.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment
