[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Over the past few years, it’s become pretty clear that SYC’s strategy seems to be centered around bringing in new players, giving them a year of development, and then sending them off to DCU or other academies. This has certainly led to some success stories, but can’t help but wonder why these players weren’t picked up before they spent time at SYC. Is there a particular gap in their development that SYC is able to address, or is it just about giving them a platform to shine or promises made to get them to come over?

What’s especially interesting—is that players who have been with SYC for much longer don’t always seem to get the same opportunities or exposure. It feels like the focus on bringing in fresh faces leaves long-time players a bit in the background, despite the time and effort they’ve put into the program.

Has anyone else noticed this trend? Do you think it’s a smart approach to prioritize new talent, or is there something to be said about offering long-term players the same chances for progression?[/quote]

LOL!  SYC does not develop players.  Hence only these 'fresh' faces are the ones moving to DCU or other academy teams.  Their 2010 had one player go to Philly Union, one went to Red Bull and one went to DCU.  Those three were new to SYC.  The one who went to DCU was only with them for one season, the one who went to Philly Union was also there for one season and the one who went to Red Bull was probably there for 2 seasons. [/quote]
