I am new to this forum as we are considering moving from CO to Greenville summer. I have a U15 here whose club is not in ECNL. She has traveled to 2 big ECNL events as a "Discovery Player" with another club and for what it is worth, she would choose to be in ECNL any day. Her team still goes to what were once considered the best college showcases in CA, TX and LV but there has already been a drop in the level of competition since ECNL began. As far as SC players not going to big time womens programs, could it be that many, if not most, top players prefer to stay closer to home. CO does currently have some incredibly good players, many in the national pool. Some have chosen to play at Santa Clara, Texas A&M, UNLV, UNC, etc but many more, even some of the best, will chose to stay home playing for CU, DU, and other smaller but strong programs. Just my 2 cents worth as I try to get a sense of what club and HS school is like in SC.
