I have no doubt your DD is less of a soccer player (Mine the only SoCal girl picked up by the NCAA champs) and less of a student (top math student in the district) than mine.
And there is no point in comparing you to me.
I really don't get your attitude. I will no longer see your posts after tomorrow. You offer nothing to the dialog. I recommend other folks just use the features of this forum to make you non existent.

What is so cool is I just refreshed and I see no evidence you ever posted. My post somehow stands alone. So cool. I apologize if you had some significant response. If it is important please email me at David@xGlobal.com. Cheers.

You would be wrong on both of your statements Zoro. I won't even get into the fact that your daughter never played in an NCAA non exhibition game for Notre Dame and was never in line to do so yet you paint this picture that it was because she was an architecture major. She got nothing more than book money yet you act like she was some goalkeeping wunderkind. Plenty of outstanding players have tougher majors than that and excel. Some players actually play a lot in top 25 D1 games, have tough majors and play on youth national teams.

You are just full of excuses. Just like your theories on college soccer being solely about BFS players. I remember all of the useless crap that you posted on the old forum and I'm glad that it has been wiped clean in this new incarnation.

You don't know me or anything about my player yet I know tons about you. I could post your home address but I won't have people know where in San Clemente you live you narcissist.

Don't try and get into it with me Zoro I am out of your league and so is my player.

You are so wrong it's funny. My player played more minutes in her first game this weekend than your even sees on her college club team and oh yeah Notre Dame was interested but TR isn't in the same league as her coach.

You have some interesting points. I agree that a lot of Zoro's statements about college soccer recruiting are unusual to the point of uselessness. However, you personal style is abhorrent to most participants here. Are you a Trump supporter, perhaps?

You are wrong about Zoro's girl not playing a game. She played part of 2 games. If you knew as much as you claim you would have known that.

Am I crazy or has Romagnolo been there only 2 years? How can you make that statement when she hasn't even had a chance to fully stock her own team yet?

Starting and playing for the Fighting Irish is a big deal in 99% of circles. Only on a message board would it be diminished.

Who is this coach you are taking credit for or is this more trolling and homerism based on nonsense?

Football, basketball, and ice hockey are big deals at Notre Dame. Soccer is an "other" sport.

Oh and your daughter wasn't the only SoCal recruit but you forgot that the google doc goes back to 2012. Remember Riley McCurrie for WCFC? What about Elyse Hight the other keeper that ended up playing?

Z- By no means am I the public defendant, but in Makes defense, prior to unleashing forum-fury on MessiFTW & aka's.....much of Makes post had solid informational Content. Was it wrapped in a bit of bravado of his/her DD - sure..... So are my post.....and so is yours. But it's all good, we're proud parents who have info to share. Especially for parents who have younger dd's with dreams to play ball in HS, college and beyond...

But at the end of the day this is a forum with Free flowin info and thoughts...if the free flowin gets a bit raw for the eyes ...by all means do what u gotta do - block away. o_O

And yet, according to Wikipedia, ND women's soccer won NCAA National Championships in 1995, 2004, and 2010.

How many NCAA national championships does their hockey team have? I'll give you a hint, it rhymes with zero.

There really is little point posting on here sometimes. I await someone crapping on Stanford's recruiting class or Penn State's style of play any moment. I suspect people are ragging on ND because of Zoro, but it's a top 20 school and program well represented with SoCal recruits in 2016-2018...including Real, Blues, and Slammers.

Where I grew up people wanted to play for the Irish, period. Some real ill informed cynics on here.

Notre Dame is a big deal in womens soccer. Womens soccer is not a big deal at Notre Dame.

Womens soccer was strong at Notre Dame when Randy Waldrum was the head coach. He was able to recruit a ton of YNT players. At the present TR hasn't had the same magic though.

I would say it's safe to assume since TR (prior associate coach at Stanford) and DB (prior assistant at Fullerton) both favor recruiting SoCal players. Question is are the BEST non-YNT SoCal players good enough to beat FSU who recruits international YNT players, UNC, Virginia and Duke who recruit from the YNT pools? We will find out soon enough.

Got it. What college doesn't fit your meme?

UCLA is a big deal in womens soccer. Womens soccer is not a big deal at UCLA.

Substitute Penn State, Stanford, Duke, Florida State, etc.

Portland and Santa Clara come quickly to mind. There may be others.

And back at ND -- women's soccer home games average about 1000 attendance, a little less than 50% capacity of their stadium. A few years ago, men's ice hockey attendance jumped to about double the average the previous few years, from a little over 2000 per game to a little under 5000. The jump is easily explained - they built a bigger arena - new capacity 5022 (although they reported slightly higher numbers a few games).

Realty is we are bantering about a segment of very-very-small-small circles.....circles that 85% ~ of parents with college applicants would LOVE to be in. Unfortuntely....in the heat of debate, ugly can come out making us come off as elitist (I'm included)....irony on this is that many on this board (including myself) grew up FAR (VERY FAR) from elite.

ND, Ucla (u name the top 25 u want) are AMAZING schools (playing ball or not). Say it out loud...."my kid is going to" ND...STANFORD....UCLA. Etc.

Let's put down the guns.....celebrate the accomplishment:cool:

But I would say this in response to his ridiculous claims... Stanford and Notre Dame and UCLA and the rest of the top 25 NCAA universities recruit many, MANY more players from the So Cal ECNL teams than the Arizona ones. They heavily recruit Blues, Slammers, WC, and Real. Arizona would kill to have their players recruited by those institutions the way Slammers players (who he denigrates) are.

As my boy Herm Edwards says...."The numbers don't lie".

Great point Manifesto!!

Yes Notre Dame's coach has been there for 2 full seasons and started recruiting with my player's recruiting class. I'm not really concerned with how she stocks her team. Within my player's career they will be hard pressed to put as good a team on the field and that is simply the facts. I understand that in 99% of circles starting and playing for Notre Dame is a big deal (Zoro's daughter did not start for Notre Dame nor play for them in any NCAA non-exhibition game). If my player was at Notre Dame she would most assuredly be a starter.

I'm not going to mention the coaches name as I am not interested in any extra attention. Several posters know me and can confirm what I am saying without revealing anything.

This is between me and Zoro (who's daughter no longer plays organized soccer by the way).

Are we sure MAP is not the same person as Sweetsplat?

I agree. This makes the most sense. MAP is Sweetsplat. Sweetsplat is MAP. MAP is also all the other alias' that he/she claims as Sweetsplat's. MAP/Sweetsplat, in all probability, has multiple personality disorder. We know MAP/Sweetsplat is not taking his/her medication based on what he/she writes and comments about.

I am definitely not Sweetsplat/MessiFTW/Clarino or any of his other multiple personalities. You are free to believe whatever you like. Zoro needed a smack down. He is fighting above his weight class and thought that his daughter had accomplished more than my player and he is dead wrong. I don't have to reveal where my player attends or any of that in order to confirm anything. Anybody who has a kid in a similar situation can infer the truth of my words. Anybody that had half a brain and followed college soccer would realize that with all of the talent in SoCal what I say isn't a stretch as there are plenty of players from our region that are having an impact in D1 soccer at top programs.

I don't have to put a 10 on a 20. My avatar isn't a picture of my player in a club uniform. My avatar isn't of my player's school. She makes her statements on the field and doesn't need me to speak for her.
