Interesting to see that C of C, which plays in a competitive conference and recruits nationally, is suddenly adding local talent. Three freshmen from South Carolina are on the current roster and it looks like at least three more local ladies will be added in 2009. There are only two other upperclass Palmetto State residents on the current 2008 roster so could this be considered a new trend? Hats off to the C of C coaching staff for recruiting these girls.

By the way, here's a gal that we don't get a chance to talk about much anymore....possibly because she is now four years removed from high school and club soccer. Not many South Carolina girls have had a college career as successful as Danielle's. She was a tremendous high school player and is also very, very good at the collegiate level.

Kids play sports because they find it fun. Eliminate the fun and soon you eliminate the kid.
