Where has Norris been? Excellent control of the net and the younger players have really added something. Does Kirt just pull pk players out of a hat cause they have not been good, Seems he plays favorites there.

High School Soccer vs Club Soccer🚨

You can be seen and recruited from high school soccer but the vast majority of college soccer players were recruited from club soccer. Especially the recruits attending elite colleges.

Why do college coaches prefer club?

Start with the obvious, you’re more likely to witness elite play against elite in club. (Iron sharpen Iron). So you’re more likely to receive a more accurate evaluation on a recruit.

Recruiting budget constraints. When you’re limited on time and money you can’t be everywhere. Attending club showcases and seeing hundreds of kids over one weekend vs several single HS where the talent doesn’t usually sharpen iron with iron is more convenient $.

Do college coaches attend HS games?

Yes, but don’t expect hundreds or even any there to be honest. It’s VERY rare they attend, and if they do it’s a local college in the area like a D2, D3, NAIA or Juco’s where their low budgets forces them to recruit from HS. Your D1’s , EXTREMELY RARE, if they attend HS games, are there supporting a committed kid or getting everyone excited right before they email you that camp invite $😉.

You want college soccer? Your best bet is club soccer. Especially if you want the colleges everyone has heard of. That’s the Truth.

LSU win combined with two point loss .
Could put Tennessee NCAA hopes on thin ice..
Just Tigers win and Volunteers lose means possible trouble for Tennessee.
I'm sure lower ranked other than SEC conferences teams could hurt changes too if they win games in their conferences tournaments.
My take Tennessee loss of 2 to 0 looks worse than a 4 to 2 loss. With Tennesse getting two goals at least the committee can see Tennessee offense is improving.
If the selection committee is watching Tennessee plays like last game.
They got a shot at getting in even if they lose today.
A win today should improve Tennessee first round opponent.
Tennessee should get a lower rpi team before win today.
Know most this is already known by most fans.
Committee takes in how teams finished.
Nice to get a win change talk from bubble team to seeding.

You make some good points, there are a lot of factors. For example, Alabama is sitting at 76 RPI, they have no chance of making the tournament that low, but they could go on a little run and maybe let’s say win the SEC Tournament, would that take Tennessee’s spot?
