Somewhere in here I read that ECNL is for those who can play at this level (not necessarily true) (remember this is club based) So to that I would have to disagree. The B bracket is not a true overall reflection of a high level of soccer.
Also, the upstate is not far from Georgia or North Carolina. Two states that have A bracket ECNL teams plus Region III teams. By playing club in those states a player could have access to their ODP programs. There are several clubs across SC that have Region III teams that are drivable from Greenville / Spartanburg. So, there are options.
