2021 Women’s D1 Soccer Talk!!!!

If someone told you that your 12-year old was going to go pro or play for the National Team, shame on you for being completely oblivious.

P.S. - Stop using "your" when "you're" is appropriate. You're starting to fuck other people up. Not much of a TunaHelper, are you?
Why does gramer mater so much to you? You remind me of this one English teacher that hated me. She would have red marks all over my papers I tried to write. "Slow down!!!" "You can;t write like this and expect to get into college." I made her life so hard. I put a marijuana seed in her planter and it grew. I also took her pencils and she could never find her chalk. I had my ways even back then. Telling a 11 year old you suck because you can;t write or talk is for losers like you Lester :)

Grammar. And I don't tell 11-year olds they suck. I also don't tell them they'll play pro... unless they have a goomba for a father.
 
Back in those days there was a lot of "relaxed" admission standards, I think ASU has been sanctioned multiple times over them. Basketball got hit hard by a few. But we all know there will always be ways to get kids in. I remember him, he was an Athlete! I was kidding about his playing time.
Eddie house played hoops in AZ but he was a legit student... J was such a waste of talent. But he has a son and he’s playing soccer!
 
Posted an update on my 2021 keeper on the GK board. Re-posting here to show that things can change in a heartbeat. If anyone wants to ask questions or chat privately, please message me. I won't be posting details on the public forums.

It's been a rough go for my GK DD the past few weeks. Bad timing...couldn't be worse actually. Now that we are entering the adjustment phase of grief, I am able to post an update.

DD verbally committed to a D1 college (southwest area) 2.5 years ago (before sophomore year - she is now a Jr). Perfect school and program for her. Full ride. Fast forward to this fall...unexpected coaching change, new coach hired in Dec (from college in same conference). New coach verbally confirmed (multiple times including in person at a winter camp) that commitments would be honored. 2 weeks ago, DD received a text and brief phone call stating that the coach was withdrawing the offer. Reason given at the time was lame (not enough $ and over commitments from previous coach). We asked for more info and were told that there were too many GKs on the roster (5 total - 3 were transfers from other colleges after DD committed), and also that the AD was expecting a more competitive program and the new coach needed to focus $ on players that will advance the program. Of course there are now some new commits are 'following' the new coach. I digress...the end result is that my DD is fed up with the 'college soccer drama' and is devastated but is looking to continue playing college club soccer without the drama. Word from players still in the program is that the new coach is good but the culture and dynamic of the team my dd thought she would be a part of no longer exists. It's a different team.

The (hopefully) good news is that the college is still her #1 choice. The not so good news is now we are trying to afford it (good thing she has a 4.7 gpa and can get academic aid). We are trying not to calculate the thousands upon thousands of dollars spent pursuing what could/should have been a valuable scholarship and amazing college experience. You can't put a price tag on emotional health though, right?

I never thought it would end like this. The rejection my dd has dealt with over the past few weeks (relationships ending, sports suspended, school closures, no face-to-face contact with friends, and end to her college soccer dreams) has been traumatic, and her mental and emotional health has been shaken to her core. But we believe that every closed door allows a window to open. She is feeling the breeze and breathing in deeply to refresh her body, mind, soul and spirit. OK, some days, not so much, but those days are less and less often :) It is taking a LOT of effort to get through this, especially in isolation. The crazy thing is that, as she has connected with other players, she has learned that many of them are in the same boat for various reasons. Maybe it's just circumstantial, but it sounds like the politics, coaching changes, and demands of college soccer are starting to profoundly affect top quality players deciding not to pursue college soccer. Maybe that means that club soccer in college will be a magnet for high quality players that want to play great soccer without that intensity and drama of D1 (and other levels) soccer. Will add that we know there are other colleges, other D1 (D2, D3, NAIA) programs still recruiting. My DD is a GREAT goalkeeper, teammate, and person. She is the whole package. That won't change because her offer was rescinded. It is just disappointing that the 'perfect' college is no longer the 'perfect' soccer program. Who knows, in a few months maybe we can look back and say 'so THAT's why this happened!'. Or not.

No matter what the outcome, everything my dd (and I) have learned in our journey from her beginnings with a small local club, to ECNL club, to HS, to college recruiting/commitment/withdrawal has shaped and prepared her for life. So here's to finding Joy in the Journey...wishing you and all your players God's protection and blessings in your journey both on and off the pitch! -K_K

Wow, that's terrible. The worst kind of gut punch for a kid after all that work and this environment just makes it so much worse. A cautionary tale, to be sure. Best to your DD, you and your family.
 
That was a tough read. Sorry to hear about what you dd is going through. The full scholarship is part of the issue and I am surprised she was offered that considering at the most they have 14 scholarships. I can tell you that one of my dd's teammates and closest friends this year is a freshmen and an international student. She was on a full ride. She did not play much her first year and this spring the coach told her (in a nicest way possible) that she doesn't fit into his plans and should transfer. He is going to help her find a place but I firmly believe he does not want have that amount of money tied up in a player that probably won't make a big impact. I also bet that she would still be coming back next year if she was on a partial scholarship. The tough thing about college sports is that you need to view it as a job and you need to be performing to keep it. Good luck to your dd. The good news is that good keepers are always in demand so maybe she finds another home.
 
How does a decommitment happen usually? Does the player and family inquire at another school or do the colleges go after a committed player? I have heard of it happening so some prominent college soccer players but I don't know how that happens.
 
Every early commit should be careful about promises of playing time. Obviously, a player receiving a full ride is EXPECTED to contribute right away (they don't and can't just hand those out willy-nilly) so, in that sense, money talks but the earlier the player commits, the greater the chance that that another recruit comes in or that a player progresses differently than hoped, etc. I mean, Macario did not commit to Stanford right away so someone may have lost some playing time when she changed her mind.

That is frightening to read... I'm very sorry to hear that. Wish your DD all the best. I'm sure she will land on her feet regardless. All the best to you and your family.

I have seen it up close only a couple of times and it involved good but not really elite players. In each case, it was driven by the player for the most part (though I have seen a coach tell a verbally-committed kid that she'd probably not see the field but he'd honor the commitment). It is different, of course, when someone has actually signed an NLI (much more involved). I am aware of some coaches approaching - directly or indirectly - players under verbal commitments (and I think some coaches have a rep of doing that) but I don't know of anyone who decommitted after that type of inquiry (not directly, anyway; I have heard rumor).

I think there is less "damage" to the player who decommits IF she/he has an option at the ready. I do think that coaches take some risk if they decommit a player if the story gets out - it risks damaging relationships with other coaches and damaging credibility with players the coach recruits (everyone thinks his or her kid is special but if you know that Coach X is willing to decommit players in order to upgrade, are you comfortable allowing your kid to agree to a verbal?)

What are your thoughts regarding what's happening budget wise with the shut down? Do you think this will effect verbal commits in Power 5 schools?

Sorry to read that. If she did well on her college tests, the good news is there are a lot of schools that give merit based aid. My daughter is at a D3 school and we pay no tuition and they give her money each year. Many top D3 academics only do need based aid, and depending on your financing there may be money there, too. The good news is any need or merit based aid is not tied to soccer. Good luck to her.
 
What are your thoughts regarding what's happening budget wise with the shut down? Do you think this will effect verbal commits in Power 5 schools?

This is just my intuition - I have zero inside information. I think it will depend entirely on whether there is a Fall '20 season. If not, I think verbals may be impacted. Unless the NCAA changes the "scholarships/team" limits, there will be a situation with too many players for too few slots. Further, even if the NCAA provides some relief (say, boosting "scholarships/team" numbers by 25%, or even more), not every school has the $$$ to cover that since there are some costs/player that are real costs and not just a portion of $$$ that is not collected from the general student population.

Thank you for sharing and being honest. I wish 100% a safe place for your GK dd. She will be stronger for it too :)

Yeah. I was thinking about the possibility of the Fall not happening and then what? Incoming 2020s + seniors that are getting an extra year of eligiblilty creates a log jam. They need to consider solutions for this, otherwise it will be a cluster F for all programs. I REALLY hope Fall is not compromised.

Me, too. My daughter is one of those incoming 2020s . . .
