Yeah, I've commented on this before


Most of those girls moved to the Starz on their own. They wanted to play together and it just happened to be the Starz team. Scot really didn't have anything to do with that although it was certainly convenient. Currently there are 5 VT girls and at one point there were 4 Longwood girls on the team but no one said anything about Longwood's Coach Riley putting girls on the team. It just ended up that way. Now it kind of builds on itself and girls are coming to the Starz because they know those coaches will see them and that the coaches know D1 talent. The entire 18U team is committed to D1 schools with most of them in VA which is good.

I wanted to note too that the Starz are the only VA based travel club that puts on a Showcase in the state so all the VA college coaches in particular have a good relationship with the Starz. I'm not sure the coaches are intentionally alienating the other travel teams, though I can see why one would think that, but when you have a team with 17 D1 girls AND you're the only team in the state trying to put on Showcases and Showcase camps it's hard to ignore.
