when your entire class comes from only 3 clubs, and all in your own state, what does that say about your recruiting? i'm sure these girls are good, don't get me wrong, I just find it curious and unusual how limited in scope the recruitment seems. UCLA, FSU, etc. have girls from outside the country, let alone outside their state.Probably gonna get better results this season.

No excuse for CAL not to routinely make 2nd round every year.
Incoming recruiting classes for 2020, 2021 and 2022 are super strong and will contend.
Cal had the #3 class last year and that nettted them 5 wins. This years class is #8. I don’t think the issue is a Player problem.Probably gonna get better results this season.

Watched Cal play UCSB last season. I was perplexed how they did not take advantage of their opportunities. They play a good style but it felt they did not have a killer instinct.when your entire class comes from only 3 clubs, and all in your own state, what does that say about your recruiting? i'm sure these girls are good, don't get me wrong, I just find it curious and unusual how limited in scope the recruitment seems.

I agree there is no idea of how it all pans out, but like you said...such as with every class in the PAC 12. We'll see. I'm encouraged by what's coming down the pipe.So is every pac-12 class. You have no idea if any of those girls pan out. The current team has wnt players. Will be interesting to see the preseason schedule.
San Jose Earthquakes (Luca Deza’s dad is DOC), Lamorinda, and Mustang where Neil also coaches.Watched Cal play UCSB last season. I was perplexed how they did not take advantage of their opportunities. They play a good style but it felt they did not have a killer instinct.
Aside from DeAnza what club teams primarily make up the roster?
I have heard that in Europe success is measured by how many players are developed into professional team players as opposed to winning trophies. So, maybe his goal is to develop players for USWNT and professional leagues.It's funny that on social media Cal touts all their alums playing pro. I'm not sure I'd be quite so boisterous about that. You have tons of pros coming from your program, yet you can't win a thing while at Cal. What does that say?
Neil has never won a second round NCAA game....ever. Even with Alex Morgan on the roster. Let that sink in. It's not a player issue. They've had ridiculous recruiting classes for years. Never come close to a pac 12 title and never won 2 consecutive games in the NCAA's. I mean.......

Would Neil be a better coach if he won more trophies and placed fewer players on professional rosters?
