Taking the lead from Western MA... any names that should be here?

Not having any this year due to DAP. All the best players are playing there.

Actually the very best ones got waivers. It will be interesting to see what the Globe and NSCAA does with the 10 month DAP kids.

Yes, the best players are playing in DAP.

Problem with your arguement is that the best DAP players are not playing for the Revs or Bolts. There are playing in other states.

This is a thread about Eastern MA All-Stars.

There are some players who could play DAP but don't even play club. I can think of three (and that does not include FdB) that play for Somerville High. And if you think I don't understand what talent it takes to play DAP - then ask the club coaches that are at Somerville games watching these players trying in vain the recruit them. There are immigrant players who are so far out the youth development system that they could not care less about DAP or club. They play for adult immigrant teams.

Love to see their board scores. May be great soccer players but doubt you'll see them parlay their soccer ability into anything more than a few beers at the local. More to all this than bragging rights at the town bar.

Age only allows up to 1994 in DAP. Most of these kids would not be allowed to play

One is a Junior and the other two are sophmores. So think they would qualify for DAP

Well, then, hopefully you voted the right way today so that more kids like this will have the same access to opportunity as the stereotypical Metrowest ISL kids who fill the DAP rosters. And maybe they could care less about who has a pedigree from Phillips Andover.

I think we get it. DAP rules and everyone else sucks. Thank you, hopefully this is the last time I go into a thread completely unrelated to DAP only to see someone tell us how great DAP players are. Can we return this to Eastern MA all stars now.

Needham's #10 surely is one and I personally enjoy watching Weymouth's #10 and #13 and I think #2 (JB?)

Weymouth's keeper should definitely be on the list - not the DAP one who left - the current one - a junior

Somerville # 6, 10 and of course #9. 10 is a superb player - in my opinion the best player on the team - both a scorer and a playmaker. No 6 is the small guy in the middle that everything goes through. A gifted technical player who makes it all look easy.

Can you be named an all-star if you have been suspended during the season?
