DA
So now that the season has started...where have the players ended up?
Did most go to DA clubs?
How has ECNL been affected? Substantially different in terms of quality this coming year?
And I suspect on the older end less incentive to move?
In AZ it didn't make too much of a difference. We had 2 ECNL teams and now we have 1 DA and 1 ECNL. On the older end there was not that much movement from Sereno to del Sol.
At the 04 end del Sol was aggressive in recruiting and got some good players. This year Sereno has new leadership and made a concerted push and I think their 04 team will end up better vs years past. I have not seen the 04 del Sol team play but would have to assume their 04 team is better vs 04 Sereno.
The DA2 teams out here seem average. It would SEEM that if a kid didn't get on the DA team most opted not to go del Sol DA2.
