No chips on sholders, not CESA hating on my part.
But this is where Academy comes into play on the boys end of things.
There are parts of the country where Academy isn't fully in play. But the southeast isn't one of them. The best teams in Virgina, NC, SC, GA, AL, and FL are playing Academy.....except for a couple of teams. CESA is missing. Maybe a club like Cobb is missing. Depending on age there will usually be a high quality Florida team out there in R3. But thats about it.
Earlier I used the u17 boys as an example. Does CESA Premier fit better with South Carolina United Academy? Or SCU Palmetto? CASL Chelsea? Or Cobb Gold? Concorde Fire Academy? Or Charlotte United? IMG Academy? Or Jacksonville Fury?
If I were a CESA hater I wouldn't be linking CESA with Academy teams. Thats' their competition.....but sorry, that ain't who they're playing.
There were 2-3 very good R3 teams that I saw this past fall. And a bunch of very average teams.
Lets take it another way GSD.....so, Clemson has USC. CESA has......
Who is your natural competitor? Who do you benchmark yourself to and compete against? Instate...out of state?
