FC Bucks 2006 ECNL - Girls

LOL why would they care? Please explain

lol because if they are recruiting someone they expect that person to produce - once they get in an actual competition with other players for playing time all the BRD players will crumble - seen it time and time again - as a college coach if someone shows up and can't really produce they are riding the pine

Tell me you know nothing about individual players being recruited to play in college without using those exact words. Do you think the scouts didn’t come watch them play? They just take Ukies’ word for it or something? The BRDs have to do with who goes to play at what youth club/who makes what team. It has nothing to do with college. Wow. You can’t be serious. What is Hex putting in that Hate-orade lately??

Having been mixed up on the wrong end of BRDs, here is how it works and why is a bad practice:

1.0 1-2 players in the BRD are usually very good. Prob a defender and one goal scorer.
2.0 Usually happens around middle school just about the time ECNL teams are being formed.
3.0 The girls who don't deserve to be there learn to play with the better kids. They play higher competition and appear to be better than they are. It's easier to play with a player that can receive a pass than one that is still working on it. ECNL teams rarely train with RL teams which mean the mediocre get better training with ECNL and the good players on RL get slower.
4.0 In HS, college coaches come to "high level" games and recruit from those "high level" games. They take that if a kid is on the ECNL team that is doing well, they are used to the level of play (which by now - they are used to it). BRD kids probably don't produce much but the 1-2 good players from the BRD and the ECNL kids who were not cut as part of the deal are able to carry the load).
5.0 Club coach convinces these kids they are stars and they are D1 or bust. They never consider anything else.
6.0 Club coach calls college coaches on behalf of kid, maybe dangles the 1-2 good players, sets up meetings, etc. to try and boost their club's D1 commit list.
7.0 RL coaches rarely do because either A) they are dad coaches or very young coaches with no connections, or B) believe the kids couldn't hack it at D1 or D2 level which is why they are on RL in the first place. RL coaches steer these kids towards D3 or focus on academics and not play in college.

The entire system is rigged for these kids starting in early middle school. Colleges are missing the kids on the wrong side of a BRD, trapped players, the unconnected families, the kids who can't afford ECNL, and the late bloomers. This is why in spring, you'll see D2 teams beating D1 and why college coaches play about 15 kids and not the whole bench. If they were true ECNL players, they would play and the college could rely on a deep bench which means the heavy load of the college season is lighter and less injuries/burnout. Instead; the BRD kids who rode the coattails of those 1-2 kids often quit after the first year or two in college.

In the end, both the kid who participated in the BRD and the one who got cut because of it lose. The only winners are the clubs DOC who posts about D1 commits so more people join the club (and the DOC gets more money).

They BRD is another symptom of why colleges don't have the best players and athletes.

“At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.”

So were the Hex-to-Ukies girls committed before the BRD and Ukies is a fraud for claiming them, or did the BRD get them committed? Can’t be both!
