Thanks for sharing. This list was heavily skewed for the no longer existing GDA. Whether it be the ynt call-ups (which were primarily GDA players) or the GDA weekly standouts. I’ll look forward to this Winter’s Top 150 if we get to have a fall season.

This list heavily favors ENCL/DA players. All the players from this list from SoCal are on ENCL/DA teams. They don't consider players outside of these leagues worthy of being on IMG's top 150 list?

Well those were the two strongest leagues. Common sense would dictate that the strongest leagues will have the strongest teams which have the strongest players. It doesn't leave much time to go out of their way to look somewhere else. The best use of recruiters time were to look at those 2 leagues which now looks like its just ECNL. Not saying there isn't talent elsewhere, its just going to be a bigger challenge to be seen and noticed.

Yeah, I get that. But will those leagues, well now just ECNL, allow regular teams to play in showcases against them? Probably not. And again, ECNL teams will probably avoid playing regular teams in fear of possibly losing to them and looking bad.

ECNL has never had restrictions about playing outside competition or showcases. ECNL teams regularly play non-ECNL teams at tournaments/showcases like the Surf Cup, Silverlakes, LV Players, etc. Unlike GDA, ECNL does not have it's own bracket in tournaments like Surf, so they play whoever is in their bracket, with many of those teams being non-ECNL teams. In some regions, ECNL teams play in a local league in addition to ECNL to supplement development. For example, in NorCal, the NorCal ECNL teams also play in the local NorCal Premier league, so they play "regular teams" week in week out.
 
I paid to help out TD a few months ago. I like the information and interviews they have. The rankings are fun too but nothing like Tech did back in 2013-2015 days. I was so naive I thought all the scouts ranked the top 150. I'm hoping my baby can crack that top 150 list before she graduates HS. Its going to be super tough but miracles do happen :)
