SILVER ELITE
The DA web site is keeping a list of the players that signed their letter of intent on National Signing Day, November 15th. I thought it would be interesting to take a look at how the clubs did.
First, what I care most about, San Diego DA clubs.
Albion - 3
Surf - 3
Nomads - 0
This is self-reporting, so I suspect Nomads 0 is more about them not reporting it. But that may be wrong. Breaking down Albion, they got two Cals and a Yale. Not bad. But there are 23 players on the roster graduating this year.
Since most people here care about the LA clubs more than San Diego:
FC Golden State - 5
LAG - 4
Pateadores - 3
Arsenal - 0
Real So Cal - 0
Strikers - 0
Well done FCGSA! Again, I suspect the three zeros are from a lack of reporting.
Some DA clubs around the country did notably better. Here are the top 8 clubs for signings:
Baltimore Armour 11
Philadelphia Union 11
Columbus Crew 10
Indiana Fire 9
Oakwood SC 9
NYCFC 8
North Carolina FC Youth 8
Seattle Sounders 8
Lots of colleges were recruiting, but here are the ones picking the most players:
Penn State 6
Cornell 5
Old Dominion University 5
Xavier University 5
Butler 4
Mount St. Mary’s University 4
San Diego State University 4
University of Denver 4
University of North Carolina, Charlotte 4
University of California, Berkeley 3
Georgetown 3
Stanford University 3
University of Notre Dame 3
University of Pennsylvania 3
I don't know if there are really any takeaways from this, but for a parent whose player is not looking to go pro, but is hoping to play in college, I thought it was interesting.
