I already stated that I felt ???'s comments regarding D1 and D2 school's soccer was ridiculous.

I don't believe any of my questions were rhetorical (but, it's possible - which ones do you feel were?)

Ok, now I'll make an assumption. I'm assuming that you don't have nearly as much soccer experience as coach Berson. Right or wrong? If I am correct, you are being extremely presumptuous to think that it is not possible for him to see something that you do not. Actually, quite arrogant and somewhat uneducated (within the realm of soccer).

I have been involved in the sport on many different levels for over thirty years, and feel I am fairly knowledgeable, but I would never make so bold a claim that I know as much (or more) than someone at that level. But you, having never even seen any of those players actually play, can confidently state that they will be "practice players" their entire college career? That is amazing.

Wait, I just noticed where you said you might have played against Cates at some point in time. My bad - I see you are a teenager (possibly a tad older) - which means you know everything. And, I do have experience with teenagers, having been one, and am currently the parent of one, and another who used to be.
