I've got to agree with Belli. If I was looking to admit 2 applicants out of 200...South Carolina would be on the lower end of the list, CESA or no CESA. Population-wise, the likelihood of being able to field of more than one Development club in such a small state is much lower than in a larger, more populous state. They probably look at the application and think that there's promise there, eventually, but are looking elsewhere for now. Greenville/CESA kids have Development teams in Columbia and Charlotte if they want to play at that level.
I would honestly be surprised if CESA gets accepted within the next two or three years without SC teams suddenly bursting onto the national scene to prove that we could field more than one USDA club and be competitive. SC just isn't a very enticing sell at this point and, again, there are USDA options in Charlotte and Columbia already.
