2015 Boys Soccer Verbal Commits

Fortunately, there are many other things to do in college....like concentrate on academics and making connections for internships and future job opportunities. Athletes should attend schools determined to give their best to make a team and, hopefully, play. However, they should pick their school realizing the real possibility that they might be on that particular team by the end of Freshman year for whatever reason. That said, the selection of the school should not be solely based on the sport that you hope to play.

Which makes you wonder why they'd pick PC :). No it's fine for certain students but face it not one of the top NE schools. Academics first, soccer second, at least for our two players. 99% won't play past college so what matters more is the quality of the education/good academic fit, etc. A lot of players/families aren't realistic about what can happen going into a situation and coaches may not always be 100% upfront either. Anyway, there's a whole slew of reasons why many aren't playing by junior year so you should go in knowing that could be reality.

Spoken like a parent of a child who spends more time on the bench then the field. Let's face it, the more competitive players go to play the sport of soccer. Everything else falls into place

Spoken like a parent whose child will most likely be a mediocre student and then complain about the economy when he/she does not get a job. I would say that most of the more intelligent kids and parents use the sport to get into the best school that they can get into.
That said, it is my feeling that a student at most schools (PC included) can get a great education if they are ready willing and able to study and enter into the school's honors program. As an example, UMASS Amherst's honors programs is one of the best educations in the country.
As for myself/my kids we would be happy to choose a division III school for the Academics if the Division I or II offers were from weak Academic schools. If, however, we felt that the child was so good that they would be playing right away, then I suspect he/she would also be able to find a very strong Division I academic school

Students at UMASS Amherst in the Honors College don't take different classes.... they take the same exact classes as normal students except they have to pay a little more tuition and take an extra honors class. I don't know if I could call that one of the best educations in the country to be 100% honest and I'm not taking anything away from UMASS as a whole.

Interesting change...he committed to Harvard a long time ago. Still a very good school and just goes to show that these commits aren't set in stone until closer to graduation

Don't forget to ask customers if they want to "super size it".

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – Nine members of the New England Revolution Under-18 team have announced their commitments to college soccer programs, which they’ll join this summer ahead of the Fall 2015 semester.

"We look forward to seeing the continued development of our Academy graduates at the collegiate level," Revolution director of youth development Bryan Scales said. "They have all done an exemplary job representing the New England Revolution, and I know that they'll be successful at these universities both on and off the field."

Six Academy graduates are set to attend universities in New England, while all nine will remain in the northeast. Two players are set to attend 2014 NCAA College Cup semifinalists Providence College, including UnitedHealthcare Youth Player of the Year, Zach Herivaux.

The nine players who have already announced their commitments are:

Austin Aviza (Medway, Mass.) – Syracuse University
Chris Arling (Windham, N.H.) – University of New Hampshire
Derek Blanchette (Scituate, R.I.) – Bryant University
Suri Chavali (Brookline, Mass.) – University of Massachusetts Amherst
Zach Herivaux (Brookline, Mass.) – Providence College
Guy Kabala (Manchester, N.H.) – Providence College
Amadu Kunateh (Lynn, Mass.) – Dartmouth College
Matt Morana (Shrewsbury, Mass.) – Lehigh University
Dylan Mott (Andover, Mass.) – Columbia University

Additional Under-18 players are expected to finalize their collegiate commitments in the coming months.

Currently training during their winter break, the Revolution Academy U-14, U-16 and U-18 teams will return to game action on Saturday, March 7 when they host Seacoast United at Gillette Stadium.

It just goes to show that these commitments aren't set in stone until the admissions office rubber-stamps them. Apparently the admissions standards at Dartmouth aren't quite the same as they are at Harvard.

Who knows what their HS academic performance was or where their interests lie for majors. Sports only gets you so far. And for a short list it's still a good list. PC did very well last year so if the soccer program is important to you that's one you might want.

One of the smartest people I know graduated from UMASS Amherst while one of the dumbest athletes I have met came from Harvard.

You forgot to add "FREE" TRAINING" two of those schools have gotten to play in the nscaa tournament D1 elite 8.

I feel bad for all those parents that have to pay all that money so they can say their kid plays D3 at Brandies.

According to its filing, in the 2013-2014 year PC awarded 9.9 scholarships among 13 players on its men's team. On average, that is a little less than 80%. That can be some real money and make a big difference to a student.
