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
JAK, that's my point. High School Football must be developing it's guys. I don't believe Lattimore and Clowney had to travel to Seattle to get to be top flight football players. Many SC High School football, golf, basketball, track and even lacrosse players are being recruited to "Big Time" college programs in those sports, but NOT (for the most part) soccer, especially girls soccer.
Again, the Clubs are not developing the local talent, to get to the higher level college programs. Every now and then, you will have a Blakely Mattern, a Rae Wilson, a Sarah Jacob, but those are few and far between.
