I've read this whole thread about college commitments and the U17 ECNL team. But, in the end it would seem that we should be looking at the U18 team. Does it matter when they make the verbal commitment (maybe they have several options and are weighing all of them or maybe they just haven't let the world know they have made that verbal commitment)? Every player but one on the U18 team is committed. I'm impressed with that (I am also impressed with the list of commitments from HH's daughter's team). Whether or not the U17 will look the same later in the spring is yet to be seen. But, it does seem that ECNL has worked out for the players that were U14 when ECNL began.
