Bear... I disagree... I know there were players that committed before the regular season stareted, but of course after the tryouts in May. These players were with other clubs when they were being watched and considered. Playing for CESA had nothing to do with it. Now, why they went to CESA there are many reasons.
Just because a player is playing fro Bridge or CESA or Upstate Soccer Alliance at the time of commitment does not mean those clubs get the credit of development.
Most schools and and the majority of D1 work on 2/3 years down the road. Therefore U16 and U17 is more indicative. Therefore if Joey deMAre plays for CESA and goes to a school does CUFC not get the credit for development? Or are we saying that college coaches only look at CESA/Bridge? The reality is they will look at the quality players wherever they are playing.
