2016 Boys Soccer Verbal Commitments

[Unregistered]

I am beginning to worry that DAP teams are providing National Exposure to top local kids and are encouraging them to commit to National Powers. Looks good on their promo material. But are they turning out to be bench players? Many, but not all are. Will continue to observe.

OP here. Both played in several games with small minutes. I am watching them closely

Where are you getting this info.? Website lists them both as playing 1 game/10 minutes each.

Sure clubs love it when kids commit to big name schools. But players and parents often aren't realistic about the likelihood of playing either. Sometimes it's getting into the school that matters more than the soccer

I couldn't remember whether it was 2 or 1 game. Either way the minutes were/are small.

Two years ten minutes not very impressive.

They were redshirted year 1 but year 2 if you're not starting to get some PT it isn't a good sign. But they certainly not the only ones as the op has shown. Many commits never play at all. That's why this thread and the others should be mandatory reading for any player wanting to play in college.
