Benp/soccermom1121: Re: South Carolina ODP "not impressive."
Everything is relative. Certainly making the SC ODP team is not as impressive as making the Texas ODP team, which in turn isn't as impressive as making region pool, which in turn isn't as impressive as making region team, which in turn isn't as impressive as making the national team.
But making the SC all-state team in a particular division is equally relative. Rather than put my own opinion out there, simply ask your favorite D1 coach how much weight they put on a high school all-state selection relative to ODP or club play.
How many SC D1 girls player can you name that didn't participate at least a year or more in ODP?
