From what I've heard, South has already been stripped bare, and it's not to beef up Solar. Beware of acquiring damaged goods.
So, what is the REAL story coming out from the South?
I heard SA/GA had meetings with parents and players yesterday and lots of parents came out unsatisfied from the sales pitch. From what I heard, things like leaving a guaranteed spot to go for potential tryouts is eating some of them alive, not to mention the 1-hour drive to the new practice location.
Anybody with more insight?
I attended the GA meeting yesterday with LH parents.
All I can say is GA sold us BS about the FDL and DA crap. I don't buy any of his explanations and the timeline does not fit. He said Texans told him or SA on FRIDAY that no ECNL he is on his own and by Monday he already had a deal with SOLAR for himself, SA and our LH coach to bring his 04/05/06 players and get a pick of Solar's DA or FDL? The South ECNL parents got the news on Saturday and Texans emails went out on Sunday to ECNL parents. Either Solar is really desperate to get the GA/SA combo or GA/SA wanted to use South to milk the Texans, it backfired.
Why would GA gladly accept a Solar FDL while the Texans offered him a Texans FDL and he declined? Texans FDL means none of the South players have to move and he keeps his D1 bye too. Solar FDL means every South player have to fight for a spot with tons of other Solar players, D1 bye stays with Texans. Same for DA too for those who care about DA. Lots of girls will be left in the cold. Doesn't make any sense. This from a guy who says he cares about our girls and it is not about him.
Don't get me started on D1 college recruitment, practice locations, fees going up, new uniforms and kits, more travels, and a bunch more BS from GA.
Staying with Texans wasn't an option for the teams as they were. Hassan would swoop in and pick them apart, all the ones HN decides are good enough, moved up to Ross Stewart on the DA or FDL, coached by Hassan.
Same is true with SA & GA's move to Solar. Go or stay, no one is twisting your arm.

Haha! As I'm sure most of you who know HN, he couldn't care less. I've literally heard the man tell a group of parents he "doesn't care whether they stay or go, he has hundreds of teams."
A few less teams today - DTS and ECNL.
Not a small chunk of change
Probably just a simple cost benefit decision for him.
The disruption, headaches & churn the situation was creating was not worth whatever revenue was involved.
Simple decision that business owners and leaders make about employees and customers everyday.

Re: TEXANS / FC Dallas out of ECNL
We all know HN has all the answers however I believe he was way off base on this one. The moral of the story is they have never been able to get along with one another. They tolerated each other for what they could both bring to the table. Plus I think he has a little over 100 teams not hundreds.Gunners wrote:KeeperCommander wrote:I know HN runs the show.

What's your over/under on how long the teams stay intact after the move?
Let me think for a second here.
I'll take the under.

I'm sure Hassan will take that in full consideration and ponder it deeply before making similar decisions in the future.

Yeah. I'm thinking the '99's might have a little something to say about KC's comment.

I don’t believe I said the 99’s were no good. But if you think the 05’s were not going to take that crown you are crazy.DeltaTauChi wrote:Lefty wrote:KeeperCommander wrote:I am sure he will also consult this board before he goes wheels off again and drives away his best ever team.

The Kenny Medina teams with Kerri Hanks that won a Nattie might have a say in that convo as well.

You are so right. What was I thinking? GA team was horrid and the rest were starting to catch up anyway. It was prob for the best that they just pack it up and start a cornhole league down there in Arlington.DeltaTauChi wrote:KeeperCommander wrote:I don’t believe I said the 99’s were no good.

Re: TEXANS / FC Dallas out of ECNL
99 Texans imo would have still held the crown over the 05's. But the 99 monster team that started was not the same 99 monster team that finished.DeltaTauChi wrote:KeeperCommander wrote:I don’t believe I said the 99’s were no good.

Guess it is our loss.
How many off the former DTS team do you see being D1 college players?
Have you ever seen a U16 or up National Championship team play?

Naw. Just like The Donald said about his pal Rudy this morning, when you show up late to the party, you might want to get your facts straight first.

And just like L said, just because 99’s had the same name it wasn’t the same team.
Who said anything about facts, were are talking about opinions here, of which I couldn’t care less about yours.

That's cool. At least some of our opinions have some semblance of being informed.
The DTS '05's have been a darn good team, and you're correct, we'll never know now. However, to express the opinion that they are/were Texans "best team ever", ignores the fact that at the same age level, the '99's were equally, if not more dominant, accomplished, and decorated, and also ignores the fact that there were other Texans teams that had far more significant accomplishments at older ages that anything the '05 team has done to date.

No more generalizations here folks, unless it is backup by science, has been published, and is fact checked by Snopes. Please leave all opinions to yourself, we are not as smart as Bluto here.

Not a very graceful retreat.
Probably better to just let this 'Super Team lead by the Titans of Club Soccer' go quietly off into the sunset.
