Yep - I am capable of doing that.
There's a saying about exceptions that prove the rule that applies here. As I said, pointing to four recruits out of 100+ tends to prove my point. I have talked to many college coaches about the recruiting process and the conversations are always the same - on the boys side they recruit from the Development Academy first, second and third, then from Premier League/ODP/USYS. HS soccer is a non-entity for recruiting purposes.
Zen Master -
My son had a fine HS career, but you're absolutely correct - it was meaningless in the recruiting process.
