No. Coaches feel, wrongly IMO (and if you want to see the debate search this site), that they can turn offensive players into defenders.

Right on the money. Some schools will tell you they don't even recruit defenders they will instead convert midfielders.


It’s not necessarily that they don’t recruit defenders it’s that most club teams don’t play there best athletes at defense. If more clubs played there athletes at defense then college coaches would recruit more defenders. Instead they bring in middies and move them to defense but that’s not what your going to be told by the coaches on the recruiting trail that’s for sure.


That’s %1000 correct coached don’t care what position or club you play for there evaluating were/how they fit into there system. But if you play snowflake on D while mom/dad are dropping $$$ every week there’s going to be a problem and most likely a parent looking to move her.
