So having tracked the call ups for camps and international events for the past 5-6 years it is safe to say that these “call-ups” will help with recruiting and getting a scholarship but it says nothing about opportunities with the full team or actual performance at the college and adult level. Of the main “superstars” over the years with repeated youth call-ups that are now adult age I would say Pugh, Pickett, McKeown, Sanchez. and Smith are the main ones - where are they today? Pugh skipped college and hasn’t been in a game for a long time with lingering injuries and won’t be in She Believes and probably not Olympics. Sanchez left college and went pro but no call up to the full team. McKeown and Pickett were drafted and hopefully will have opportunities with the full team but not yet. Smith is the only one that seems to be on a solid track. So that is 5 out of 200 - 300 players with call-ups in this age group over the years. I always support dreams and every player should put the work in to reach those dreams but I used to think the call-ups and the training centers meant something but now, having followed it for years and watching how these players are doing at the college level I see they don’t mean that much.
