          When one starts a sentence with "to whom" the final preposition is unnecessary. Drop the "at". These are the mistakes this poor boy will face now that his Ivy league ticket is pulled.

            U17 Wnt thread goes on and on and on. D1 women’s soccer drones on about teams that had zero connections here. It’s an interesting story, that’s all. Hardo.

              It looks like he's wearing a Nobles uniform in the photo accompanying the story?

                  Oh I see now. It took what? 4 or 5 posts? It's Mr. Keiffer slamming on Coach Smith from Cornell and Brian Ainscough of the Bolts about his precious boy. Nobody gives a Fvck.

                    Sounds like he didn’t get in academically.

                      His quote is

                      “I allowed myself to plateau and not push myself to that next level,” Keiffer said


                      It does not say it was soccer related, could have been academic also!

                        Player said in the article he slacked off. Ivies give pre reads before they give verbal offers si unless his grades tanked the rescind would be athletic related. Coaches can use that as an easy excuse when really they just changed their mind. But if the player thinks he slacked then he probably did. Coaches watch their picks closely. Just getting the offer doesn't mean you can cruise academically or athletically

                          D1 benches are loaded with those who slacked off post commitment, or peaked at a young age. It's much more prevalent on the girls side due to the earlier commitments. Reading between the lines, it seems academic. If your recruit had a crappy senior season, what does that really mean? They could be banged up. And it's not like they are watching every match. Plus most coaches' egos are such that they are convinced that they can solve any issue with the player once they get into the program. Now, if the kid put on 40 pounds and was out of shape, that's a different story.
