Ashleigh Sheets comes to mind, Clemson signee that landed at West Point after a coaching change at Clemson. Sarah Jacobs, too at Clemson. Go to the schools websites and check out the roster and you'll find plenty that didn't do OPD at least in the later ages. you guys seem to know it all already.



i agree with some of what you say but i think what we are talking about is that smart money does not pay for all of college.not even if you stay in state ,and those are the schools that will talk more about grades so they can get you that free money.i think odp helps more for those wanting to play at the bigger or better known soccer schools out of state.you can stay in state and get loto money with your grades and odp may not matter. but as good as a school as converse is it is not a soccer school.so now i guess we move into the question of weather you are going to a school for its academics or its soccer team.i would like to think mine picked it for both.i know she picked it for soccer.
