THE EDGE: EAST
Every rostered midfielder in the East is bound for Power-5 conference programs. That alone gives the competitive edge to East. However, in recent years, the West players tend to perform better as a group as they feel they have something to prove. In this year’s case, it might be shaping up that way, again. A couple of players have re-opened their recruiting and/or have yet to sign. This will be a great platform for those players to showcase their skills.
