Dad, I think my three days have passed. Just because I chose to register a few days ago, does not mean that I have not previously been following threads and should not imply that I just came off the farm. You mentioned earlier that the 01 clubs should fear playing the 02 South club. I asked myself why would you think that and responded. If you thought that it would affect their recruiting, my response was that it would not really hurt the top dog clubs such as DT-Densk, SR, S-Partain or those not in the Carey (FCD- premier, FWFC, FCD/Andro-Bazan) since those clubs have the majority of their rosters set. While there are no "signings" completed until July 1, you are sorely mistaken if you think there are tryouts or that the teams have not set themselves up. The only issue for these particular clubs is whether they will lose some of their top players to another such club as the secret recruitment schemes and ploys are made. These top dogs likely have a roster of "14" with a couple of spots open in hopes of luring another of their competitors top players or that one "stud" you mention that comes out of no where.

I assumed that being as astute as you seem to think you are that you would have recognized such and came up with the QT notion. Again, why would a top 01 team fear the 02 South? Could it be the fear of effect on its QT seed? My response again was NO. QT seeding for those at the top is essentially done. CL may wrangle on who is 2 vs 3 vs 1, but the top 5 seeds are in and the tourney season , especially against an 02 team, will not affect a place in the top 5.

I doubt the 01 teams: the boys, the coaches, the parents, really fear playing DTS 02. They may not want to deal with the sideline raucus as has been discussed by others, but I doubt they fear. How about another conspiracy theory: It was the DTS 02 / 01 coach who created the change because he did not want to have to pit the teams against one another, did not want to demonstrate his favoritism for his 02 team over the 01, and actually feared recruitment issues... just sayin.

Whoa there with your conspiracy theory. I as a parent on this team know that this change was done as a favor to the Liverpool coach. He is a friend of our coach so the change was done. Now the comment that you said about him favoring the 02's is totally incorrect. The 01's take priority over the 02's just like his select teams take priority over his academy teams.

I have not seen comments or scores on the forum to indicate how the 01 boys did in the gold division. Surprises? Good games? Did visiting players, if there were such, make a difference? Eager to hear your thoughts.
