Calling my shot, Ashley Sanchez will be a bust. Although she's got plenty of speed, she is too petite. She had a very hard time getting around defenders at the recent world cup, especially with that flick and run move she likes. She'll find similar trouble in college. Too many meaningless runs to showcase her speed imo. She'll be okay, just not that transcendent player that everybody thinks is going to be a superstar.

She was better than any other U20 player on that USA squad(except Pugh), and was 2 years younger than many of them. She will be an amazing player.

Perhaps. Then again, that team was so poorly coached it was difficult to tell if other players had talent that may not have been highlighted due to the direct style of play.

Like outside said, that's not saying much. Although to be fair, I'm sure each individual player on th U-20 team has special qualities. But I definately disagree that she will be an "amazing" player. Maybe "bust" is too strong a word, but the way she got pushed off the ball so easily at the World Cup was a red flag to me. Yes, she has a lot of fight and is very feisty, but her frame just seems too petite, and it's not like she has the lower half of an Amy Rodriguez or Crystal Dunn who though small/short are super strong. And shouldn't she have been hitting the weights for a while already? Maybe a better way to put it is that I just see limited upside, especially based on some of the expectations that may have been placed on her (though not her fault).

Teams are going to struggle to try and put a body on her. Trust me they are going to be more worried about Fleming and Pugh. She could easily lead the PAC 12 in scoring next year simply because she gets so many good looks at the goal and you must agree she is a lethal finisher. A solid 3-4 months of college level weight training (she will likely report in June) will have her strong enough for conference play. I will bet that she makes the freshman best XI next year along with at least 2 other Bruins.

I find it ironic, an abundance of posters in every age group throughout the years have posted why doesn't the US coaches pick the smaller technical player who plays with flash. Well Ashley is that player and here you are posting she is to small. I hate to break it to you but the smaller U20 North Korea and Japanese teams dominated our big, fast, strong direct playing U20 team.

Lastly have you ever seen Marta upclose (as in face to face close)? I have when she was with the LA SOL. She is 5'3" and doesn't have the thick lower body of a Crystal Dunn or Amy Rodriguez either. If anything Ashley's body will evolve with strength training into a Megan Klingenberg.

Just saying Happy New Year to you 2 love birds, that's all.
I will be coming up to UCLA soon to see if the school and team are up to my daughters standards, so maybe we can chat at that time.

I believe you've mistaken Happy New Year for April Fools!

BTW, if your DD was such a stud, you would NOT have considered Strikers, since they were not selected for GIRLS DA.

You sure know a lot, at least you think you do.
As far as my daughter in concerned, we still have time.

Pretty funny. You wish that any school in SoCal would be interested in your player. Paying to come to a camp doesn't count. If your player doesn't have YNT in her resume you can keep on moving. You would know which class they are currently recruiting and it isn't your daughter's. To those that know you sound like an idiot. I'm sure that you are used to it though.

You have plenty of time and there are plenty of options out there. I hear that the Art Institute is recruiting.

Sheriff Joe is such a sucker and an alt-right conservative. There would be no way, he would want his DD going to UCLA, CAL, Stanford or any other of the large liberal universities on the west coast. I say his DD ends up at Liberty University, if she is a good enough player or if he has a DD player soccer at all.

You and your friend have some pretty informative posts and you 2 honeymooners know much more about soccer than I ever will and I am sure your players are great, I feel sorry for your kids having to put up with you 2. It is truly amazing they have been able to over come your petty need to put down others, including kids, and become successful. Peace Out.

I heard The Donald will be firing all the liberal professors and hiring a bunch of Alt right conservatives.

Does everyone on your daughters' team have YNT experience?

Obviously, I'm right....since your tears are dripping all over your keyboard! Don't cry, dry your eye and make sure your DD calls and emails the Liberty University coaches. I agree with you, your DD has plenty of time with that conservative school

Here is the contact information for your DD.

You are probably right, she wants to go to one of the top 5 schools, not a bottom rung schools like ucla.
