That is a Highly Valid Point. There are at least five Challenge players on one team at CESA that I know were recruited heavily D1, and each had a chance to sign with great D1 programs (Clemson, Iowa State, UNC Asheville, etc). Some played Premier at one time or another, some missed the last chance by moving here late or by Charleston kids moving into the club, etc. Before you knock UNC Asheville, their coach might be the best balance between Coach/Soccer Expert/Human/Mom that I have ever met. I would send my Mom, daughter, wife to play for her.
When you come bearing down on a defender (Premier or not) one on one, just matters whether you score or not and not what level you played at. I know a kid (several) like that. Just matters if you succeed.
