Do D1 colleges EVER look for that diamond in the rough...that player who may not be on an ECNL or NPL level team either due to finances or academics?
It seems to me that there has to be a player or two out there in NE who is as good as or better than some of her ECNL/NPL counterparts who is not getting even a remote glance because of the team she is on.
When two equal players are side by side, one ECNL with lower academics and one normal NEP or other local league with outstanding academics, it seems as if the ECNL player is always the one chosen. Even the bench ECNL player gets more of a look than someone else, despite superior athletic performance, leadership and skill of the lower league player. Why is that?
