Rutgers W Soccer Elite 8

[Guest]

With the exception of FSU the final 4 women’s college soccer rosters are very localized. Why is this? Recruiting budgets?

FSU has kids from all over the place including a heavy international presence.

Why go all over if you can field a local roster; especially at these schools (good schools but not high level academics). You will have butts in the stands with local kids.

FSU is the current National Champ.

Turn in your soccer fan card. Incorrect.

FSU has always been successful with a heavy international roster. they can't offer any more than 14 full scholarships but maybe do have a bigger budget. BYU is weird, an outlier. SC is blessed to be ont eh West Coast with an abundance of great talent. No need to go far to put together a top roster. Good school too.

BYU has been knocking on the door for the past several seasons. Not surprised at their success especially when they handled UVa at UVa. Santa Clara and BYU were co league winners for WCC. Although BYU has better record in standings. The real winner will be crowned later this week. This game would have been a great final.

Predictions. Going with an FSU Clara rematch. FSU takes this one.

my heart is with RU and BYU but my money is with FSU and Santa Clara

You understand that many internationals, in general, have homes in FL?

You're a special kind of dumb. They're actually from other countries, nine of them in total.

Stamford and SC are heavily west coast kids. There's loads of talent out there. FSU has a mix of FL players, internationals and other states. RU is a bit if an outlier for a top program to be so heavily concentrated in one area, let alone so many from one club .

you don’t need to be Einstein to figure out RU & PDA = Championship Cup. RU is a tough sell recruiting players so they wisely go with their strength which are local PDA players.

There's plenty of quality players in the NE so no need to focus so heavily on one club. 15+ from one club is weird but for now its working for them.

Agree, but those top players when given the opportunity would rather play outside the NE.

Huh? *** are you talking about? Now you can read minds or in the households of recruits and know where they prefer to go and know they didn’t get offers outside the NE?

Not a fan how RU gets its players by shoving all its prospects into one local club but let’s give credit where credit is due. RU is winning and winning at the highest level. Let’s see if they can win two more games and bring the championship home to NJ.

Then let me explain. When a recruit has multiple choices in picking a college it all begins with location. Soccer recruits will be drawn to the location, the weather, the field. Is it turf or grass? The athletic center, the housing, the league they compete and the universities reputation. Why do you think RU rely on so many players from one state and one club? I absolutely give RU credit for getting the best players inI the state from one club. Hope they win the championship.

Kroger; not pda. A few others including the girls who played club or college elsewhere. They are hardly PDA anymore. They are their respective colleges who developed them.

RU won the weakest bracket. The ACC, Big10 (who beat RU so no championship) and SEC champs were all in the same bracket. FSU is the first ACC team RU will meet this season, including in NCAA. That is just crazy almost laughable.

Didn't RU host the Big10 final? Remind me how did that turn out?
