What's even creepier is someone who stalks other people's facebook pages

I think the point being made is that, given his track record, Nothing BTDT posts regarding D1 transfers should be given any credence.

For all his hot air, BTDT has failed miserably in college placement for his older daughter.

Very well said. Cujo and Perspective are the biggest fools on this forum.

Thanks, BTNT. Have another drink and set your alarm so you can get the new 6:00 am thread out on time.

Sending the grandkid of a HOFer to MCLA? Priceless.

Wrote a dumb ass who has spent years trying to convince anyone who will listen that his sons D3 choice made the two of them soooo much smarter than the stupid parents who let their kids accept full scholarships to play D1 soccer.

D3 players aren't recruited, they are hatched by their parents fertile imagination. :)

What an ignorant and mean spirited post.

Of course there is recruiting in D3. It may not involve scholarships, but it often involves admissions assistance.

None the less its an accurate statement. D3 soccer is where the ego maniac parents who can't accept that their kids are a step to slow for the big boy game send their kids so they can brag about them being a college soccer player.

It justifies all the money they spent chasing that scholarship that never materialized. What idiots.

Don't you know that club soccer now is all about the educational opportunities it opens up. The ECNL is the gateway to the NECAC. It is literally a one stop shopping spot for D3 coaches.

Wow, really stretching here.

As P has written numerous times, the D3 choice was right for his kid. He does not claim that it is the right choice for everyone. He does not claim that he is smarter than all D1 full scholarship parents. (other than perhaps BTDT)

But that D1 "full" scholarship to play soccer is very rare. Likely not more than 1 Mass kid a year is getting a true full ride. And there is no guaranty for future years.

So, for many of the potential D1 players (not the national team level, or the top 25 school recruit) they might at least take a look at what the D3 options might be. It they are committed to playing soccer at the absolute top level they can, then, sure, no reason to think about D3. But, why not look at what kind of a total package say, Wheaton, might put together and compare it to what FDU offers.

I think it is the opposite. It is the D1 parents who are so dismissive of D3, and the ones who push their kids into faulty and phony early commitments who are the ego maniacs. It is sad to see the damage they do to their kids, as BTDT did to his older daughter. Just so they can brag that their kid is a D1 player. So sad. So sad.

It mystifies me why Heiny continues to humiliate himself on T-S.

If I had his record of poor decision making I would keep a very low profile.

Does anyone support his views regarding soccer? (Certainly many people enjoy his getting under P's skin.)

With all the advantages he has had, what has he accomplished? Completely failing as a father-adviser to his older daughter.

With his fancy D1 education and his father's contacts he should have done far more with his life. What a sad sad specimen of a human being. What a waste of opportunity.

Best post ever.

What a dumb ass. He's actually in a thread with a bunch of D1 parents pretending he knows how much money THEIR kids got. Cetainly wasn't a third fool.

Perhaps you should read what is written before running off at the mouth and showing everybody how poorly you read. The following is the post referred to:

For sake of argument, let's define a scholarship athlete as someone who is getting at least a 1/3 scholarship. How many Mass girls fall into that category each year? 4, 6, but probably not 10. So, T-S should be all about those few kids? Perhaps there should be a separate place, with PH as the admin, for those very few who fit in the category. Then the rest of us peasants could stay on T-S and have a CIVIL DISCUSSION.

I think the poster's point was that there are relatively few players getting 1/3 or more scholarships. Maybe the cutoff to be considered a "scholarship athlete" should be a half scholarship. Either way, there are relatively few such lucky players. They deserve our congratulations. But, perhaps the whole word should not revolve around them

Interesting page. Is he living vicariously through his daughter.

Three pages since my last post (#165), all of which by Perspective/OCDMan. His prescription must have run out yesterday.
