My prediction is next year we will see more dominance in JDL. This year will be a lot of parity. My eye test of the 05 JDL goes like this. All tiers even and no particular order.

Tier 1
DTS 05 JDL

Tier 2
Solar Pulp JDL
Solar Colvin JDL
Sting Black JDL
FCD Red JDL

Tier 3
FCD Blue JDL
DTC JDL
Sing Central JDL

Honorable D1LH in order
Liverpool Elite
Kicks Select
Fever

FYI. Any D1LH team sharing with JDL players. I am not putting as top LH teams.

Looks like my tiers are pretty close after this weekends results. Should be an interesting year. Congrats DTS05!

No surprise DTS won this in my opinion. By the looks of it no team in the div even came close to beating them.

Until the Solar teams and Sting  Higgy show up, who knows.  DTS is an incredibly talented team with size, skill, and speed.  Not just dump and chase.  Not sure if anyone can consistently beat them in this age group (maybe 1-2 out of 10 someone surprises them). Minus the finals result, FCD Red made a big statement this weekend. Would be good if at least Kicks Selecao were in JDL. Selecao would certainly be in the mix for top 5. Kicks JM is talented just young and small. DT Central and FCD Blue have a tough road ahead. Liverpool would compete well in JDL as well. Next year, more teams join JDL and I'd expect Liverpool and Selecao to be two of them.

Based on what?

The JDL "powers" have no interest in other clubs joining their league.

Simply put, if you aren't an ECNL club, you won't be invited to the party.

If the goal were to have the best competition, then LP and Selecao would already be invited and participating this year.

Since the goal is to consolidate any talent as early as possible among the 5 ECNL clubs . . .

Hate?  Let's see, I complimented DTS and FCD Red.  I said that I wish Kicks Selecao was in JDL and would compete in the top 5.  I said Kicks JM is talented "just young and small," and stand by that statement.  I also said that Liverpool could "compete well in JDL."  I said nothing negative of DT Central or FCD Blue.  Just said they have a "tough road ahead," and I stand by that.  I didn't see KeeperCommander or D Bag Dad get jumped on for being hateful for making similar assessments of the level of JDL teams. You're welcome to disagree with me but I said nothing hateful.

So what really happened with kicks not playing in JDL ? I am just asking since you mentioned you wish kicks played in JDL. Share only if you would like to .
Honestly no-one cares they play JDL or not.  Lets put an end to this idiocity , the forum has been on fire since JDL schedules came out last weekend.

Ha.  So you think I'm a Selecao parent?  Far from it. I don't know why they aren't in. Many have speculated, but I have no insider knowledge. I wish they were in JDL because they are a great team and JDL should have the best teams regardless of club affiliation. Yes, LH could have been the same and more on the merits, but once the deal was done, a league of the top teams would be best. Selecao is one of them.

Good result for Fcd blue. Does anyone have other 05  scores ?

quote="soccerphun"]OK, 05's....let me kick some sleeping dogs and wake this Forum up.  

Pre-season pecking order:

1. DTS Adames -- they could play in the 04 JDL and be very competitive.  One word:  physical  
2. Solar Pulp -- few remnants of last year's State Cup championship team but a very solid reload.
3. Solar Colvin -- this team has been playing together the longest and it shows.
4. Sting Higganbotham -- expect this team to be top dawg or close in 2 years.  
5. FCD Red Baker -- can play with anyone when they play their game, but wheels can come off quickly too.
6. DTC Bussey -- lots of raw athletes that can score in a hurry but gets exposed with lack of technical ability.
7. FCD Blue Baker -- look for a fluid roster here.  Surprisingly light on talent.
8. Sting Parsons -- they will have flashes of brilliance but just don't have the horses to compete for 60 mins.

No excel solver macros...just a compilation of observations since June when the teams started forming.  

Shame we won't see JM's Kicks group in here -- they would have easily been top 5 -- other D'Feeters team would have been slugging it out with Parsons for the cellar.

The 05 crowd has always been a bit more chill. When they weren't, we now know it was driven by the new 04 parents (look no further than the self-laudatory Grand Champions post).  

That said, from what I'm hearing, outside of DTS, the competition has been fairly level in JDL, and some projections have been a bit off.

Just as I did last year while watching her play D1 LH games, I cheered when the team did good, moaned and groaned when they didn't. I also left the game fully aware of the outcome. Just bc it's not posted on the internet somewhere doesn't make it any less of a league than what you are chasing after. guess how many times my daughter has approached me and said "dad, let's pull up those standings and see how we are doing." Zero. Why? Because she doesn't care and I bet most 11 yr olds out there don't care. Just don't get all of you weirdos who are talking trash about a league you clearly aren't a part of.
