Personally, I think this line of reasoning is drawing conclusions from too few data points.
Here's another conclusions you could draw: SC kids have not had good enough exposure in the past to be spotted by TOP 30 ranked D-1 schools.
I'm not saying that's correct either, but it is another conclusion you draw with only one data point. In fact, I could draw conclusions 360 degrees around a single data point.
To clarify, I'm not disagreeing with your comments. I wanted more data to support them. Hopefully Mr. Stats can jump in and let us know:
1. Distribution by-state of the players on the TOP 30 D1 teams
2. Percentage of total soccer players that go to D1, D2 and D3 by state
Regarding developing a #1 football recruit here, there are always outliers. But ironically, there's a kid who could have gone anywhere in the country to play and he's playing less than 90 miles from his home. He's hurting the SC player development statistics
