What exactly is a U14 regional pool mean for DCU academy? Basically the kids that got offers that were pulled? All the players they scouted? Anyone have any ideas?[/quote]

“At the U14 level, D.C. United will introduce a regional pool model, selecting the most promising talent from local youth clubs and bringing them together for once-a-week elite training sessions across four locations throughout the DMV. This structure allows the club to extend its reach while maintaining a close connection to local communities and youth soccer organizations.”[/quote]

What a joke.  [/quote]

That's how you lose all your top u14 players to other academies.  Every MLS academy will be fighting to grab the top young talent in this area.  Unless DC is dirty and places all of them on their list.[/quote]

So in your version of this fantasy, all the families with U14 kids exceptional enough to be MLS Academy quality are going to send their sons to other parts of the country?[/quote]

I can't tell if you're ignorant or trolling, top kids already have been going to other academy teams.  I didn't say all, I said the top kids who the academy is willing to invest in by paying for boarding/food/schooling.  Top kids as in, projected to go pro, not the pro/college or college path players.[/quote]

Where is this database of players from the DMV that at 13, 14, 15 years old are known to be going Pro (Mr Nostradamus) and are all now at other academies across the country? 
How high are these massive numbers of kids? [/quote]

Not sure whether massive numbers of kids but it is kids who are in the USYNT pool or sniffing it.

For example, Makai Wells has a deal in place to go to the NE Revs but they have to negotiate his homegrown rights with DCU even though he is coming from Barca AZ.

We have a hotbed of talent just like Philly, ATL and NY in the DMV that should be staying home and being developed if they show promise.  Way too many examples of kids going around DCUA at this point.[/quote]
