"Money is a big factor in college, no doubt. But look at it another way. Go to a few top events and, don't just show up but, actually play well and maybe scholarship money might come your way. You'll never know staying in SC and settling." from kickinit70
I'll bet that most of the players playing at Clemson, Furman, USC, CofC, or any of the other SC schools might disagree with your assesment that they settled.
"If all kids in SC want is a local school that's cheap, then I'm dead wrong on all this." from kickinit70
"But I have a feeling that if parents and kids were educated early in the process and knew what was going on around the country to become a better player, while finding a good school, and all the opportunities that are out there, they wouldn't settle and would at least try to expand their horizons." from kickinit70
I feel that those who want to go out of state have done fairly well recently. Right now, there are former CESA women's players playing at/or committed to: Ohio State, UNC Charlotte, Univ. of GA, Univ. of Southern Cal (recent national champions I believe), Villanova, West Point, App. State, etc. With a little more research I could go on. And this with CESA not going to CASL or WAGS in recent memory.
I think maybe kickinit70 needs to go to Greenville and join the BOD and straighten that club out before they force other kids to 'settle' for playing at in-state schools.
