I applaud the new programs and efforts by CUFC and others to bring a higher level of play to women's soccer in South Carolina. There are always mechanisms and methods for continual improvement. However, my question is this. In the southeast, mid-Atlantic areas (Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina) will new programs beyond R3PL and top-level showcase tournaments provide an increase in the number and quality of female college recruits? We played with the Augusta Arsenal and I have helped with our U17 and U19 recruiting efforts now for 3-4 years and have talked with perhaps up to a hundred different college recruiters, certainly many dozens, for perhaps 20 different girls. Outside of web sites such as soccerincollege.com.; soccerscheduler(soccer).com; topdrawer, etc; showcases like Disney, Orange Classic, Atlanta Cup, Raliegh, WAGS, Germantown, Savannah, etc; and independent marketing efforts by player families; will the expense and time of the new leagues make a difference? Just posing the question!
