Time

Texas had two five star #1 recruits with 7-8 girls with youth World Cup

Or how poorly those girls are coached

Archaea

Sep 25, 9:18pm

Perhaps. Development/coaching angle could be argued to be the difference

cougfanz

Sep 25, 9:20pm

Rockwood develops her players

Archaea

Sep 25, 9:23pm

Definitely not that

palangi

Why not? If they have that high a rating they should demolish the opposition.

Archaea

Can’t have those Mormon girls upsetting team chemistry or something.

Whenever you bring up how good youth wscoccer is in Utah cbers from Texas and CA

ECNL doesn't always mean best. ECNL is crazy expensive. A lot of really good

I made this exact same observation in a post below.

Yea the question I have is how much of that is selection bias..

cougfanz

The US youth national team system is really no different than any other country.

shoganai

Sep 25, 9:46pm

No doubt.. but what the US does is select a pool of u14 girls who make up 80%+

cougfanz

Sep 25, 9:54pm

Win in college and win in the NWSL and you fix all that nonsense. It didn't

BostonCougar

Kind of. But Hatch is actually a rare exception where her merit

Yet here is still predominantly pay to play to move into ODP opps

BlackBart

The idea of ranking or giving stars to kids when no attempt is

Mitty

Or TX players are overrated & BYU players are underrated (both happen regularly)

There’s a lot of lazy recruiting in sports everywhere.

We'd appreciate you not claiming Smith-Griffits for Utah. Sincerely, Idaho

I get to claim her either way...she is my cousin's daughter. 🙂

Sparta and Celtic don’t play in the top youth leagues if memory serves.

Senora Featherbottom

Sep 26, 10:07am

The Celtic boys don't. The Celtic girls do.

RE: The Celtic boys don't. The Celtic girls do.

Doboz

This.

Creaturecow

Sep 26, 11:10am

My take is Celtic gives you the inside edge at BYU but outside of that

cougfanz

Sep 26, 11:49am

Very much so. Half if not more of the players on BYU, UVU were on Celtic.

Doboz

Sep 26, 10:21am

Wrong.

Creaturecow

Sep 26, 10:46am

Kind of. E64 is a huge step down, so they're not in the conversation for boys

cougfanz

Sep 26, 10:54am

Agreed. But E64 does pitch itself as the top league.

Creaturecow

Sep 26, 11:00am

Yea I've seen that too but I don't know of anyone who even

cougfanz

Sep 26, 11:04am

The dumbest thing about the system with ECNL etc...

Creaturecow

Sep 26, 11:18am

Yea, I agree. It's tough. I do think there's an inherent bias

cougfanz

Sep 26, 11:48am

We have tried to get my daughter into the BYU Camp.

Creaturecow

Sep 26, 11:56am

Why are you so hardcore about this?

Senora Featherbottom

Sep 26, 10:55am

My daughter is in the system. The system doesn't ever change or get better

Creaturecow

Sep 26, 11:03am

That’s an awesome answer. Love it.

Senora Featherbottom

Sep 26, 11:57am

Yeah.... Ok

There is a discrepancy between club strength and player talent in Utah imo

cougfanz

I completely agree with this.

compared to other sports, I think assessing talent in soccer is more difficult
