Lot's of great players from SC that will have a chance to continue playing together in college
1 Ivy
2 ACC
1 MAAC
4 CUSA
8 Southern
6 Big South
Could've made one impressive team!
5 forwards
5 midfielders
1 for/mid
4 mid/def
5 defenders
2 goalkeepers
Now, suppose that ODP was run by a board of Nick Finotti, Clark Brisson, and Dom Wren (maybe a few others), would it be better than College coaches who know very little of these players? PAUSE!
Just another thought, but has SCYSA ever thought about sponsoring a dinner for those players who will be moving on to DI,II,III to continue playing? Would be a great opportunity for them to share the moment after many, many years of hard work together/competitive.
{consider that the average team's freshman class is about 7 players, South Carolina is ranked 24th by population and thus should provide about 2% of the class (the average), this class has announced about 1.6% based upon this website, therefore SC should have about 6 more D1 commitments?}
