I would judge the end of the year performance and National placing for CU teams; showcases tournaments are tricky. Tourny pairings are set by year end finishing and CU is one of the best clubs in ECNL; so showcase draws are very difficult. The pairings are country's best teams (CU included) and is why CU gets 70 schools at each game during showcases. Also worth noting is showcases by design are to "showcase" entire rosters and not necessarily a win or else format.

Kevin has been and is determined to make CU one of the best clubs in the country; He has done just that..

Good points. ECNL showcases are designed to showcase the players and get them ALL committed to college teams. At the older age groups , some already committed players don’t even travel to the showcase. Although they’d like to win, playing all your players so they can be seen is the number one goal. ECNL’s entire purpose is to help get all the players committed to college and this is why ECNL is generally so popular as a pathway. Looking at CU’s commitment lists, it looks like they’re the most successful club at helping get college commitments in Oregon. Look at your own team and see how many bench players get showcase significant minutes in tough close games. If even the last man on the bench is playing about half a game, congratulations because you’re on a team that is trying to help all the players get committed to college. There are great players with great outcomes in all three Oregon leagues and they all deserve credit but to bash on CU or KL individually is petty and wrong. It’s easy to get the one or two superstars on a team committed to a good college, the best club’s teams will have half to almost all committed.
