[Unregistered]

Does anyone know who got 2016 Gatorade player of the year or where to find out?

They have a website. The boys soccer names are not up yet. It should be soon.

From USSDA site:

Seacoast United: Peter Gross (Brown), Eli Cronin (UMass), Jason Meuth (Swarthmore College), Sebastian Lindner-Liaw (Harvard), Sebastian Jaramillo (Assumption College), Garrett Lillie (Coastal Carolina Univ.), Andriy Proctor (Middlebury College), Marvyn Dorchin (Springfield College), Jacob Gould (New Hampshire), Walter Thilly (Colby College), Chris Pinkham (New Hampshire)

Will be interesting to see what the FC Boston crop has to offer.

Impressive list from Seacoast - kudos to the players for their academic accomplishments as well as the soccer success.

This demonstrates the respect DAP teams are given by colleges. Even though Seacoast is not one of the strongest DAP clubs, they are getting their players D1 and D2 scholarships and acceptance to strong D3 schools.

While developing players for national team consideration may be a stated goal of DAP, if I was paying around 6k per year for team and travel, as a parent I would hope that at a minimum the investment would lead to a scholarship or a "tip" at a competitive school. Seacoast seems to be delivering on that front.

Even better considering these players only pay a travel fee of $700 to participate on the DAP team.

If you're expecting a return on investment you're in it for the wrong reasons, unless that "return" is simply landing a college roster spot. Financially there are few payouts in men's soccer and none of it should be expected as a given.

It's an impressive list, but let's not mislead about the scholarships. There are only 5 schools listed even eligible to grant athletic scholarships, and you can guess for yourself whether most of those players received significant scholarships.

That has been true for only a couple years. They paid full freight until only relatively recently.

GPS has now published its list of college committments on its website.

that is still a substantial savings considering Bolts charge full freight- approx $6-7K per year including travel and Koolman's "mandatory" (or else) college camp cost

You don't know what you are talking about but you clearly have an ax to grind.

No axe to grind. Just the facts.

That's it? Two of the D1's not even FC Boston developed... What about the ISL waivered kids on the team?

Most of the kids are not in the class of 2017, and most of them are Bolts developed.
