I believe that there is also a certain amount of naivity that plays a role in all of this ... Too many parents & polayers hanging on to unrealistic dreams!

What kills me is that everyone is chasing this college 'thing'. But is is not your fault .... You are being sold a bill of goods by those looking to take advantage of your commitment and $$$$!!

Do yourself a favor, do your research, look at where SC players are ending up. For the vast majority of players in this state, there is no need for them to even leave it (think out of state games / tournaments), as they end up playing for the college coach down the road!

College recruiting! Biggest hoax ever, and ruining the game of soccer throughout the country!

PS: Yes, I know that there are those that simply choose this path for the journey - kudos to them.
