Caught this via the Philly Union IG feed.

We are ranked #21.

Feels objective and accurate.[/quote]

Yup.  21 out of 26 is totally fair.  Could easily be lower on the list.  Definitely not higher.  DCU doesn't deserve to be a top rated academy on any list and you won't seem them as a top rated academy on any lists anywhere.  But you also have to take this guys opinion with a grain of salt.

He isn't a soccer expert but follows the kids and academies closely because he tries to monetize being in the know.  To me, he's a big fan of the game but lacks the real football credentials or expertise to be taking his word as bond.  Calling himself a soccer scout is a complete joke.

But some of what he says is spot on.  Not everything.  But some. And how he ranks the kids or the "prospects" in the academy is also very questionable.  Parents manipulate him to get kids higher on the lists or even on the list.  He is a tool alot of people use for IG exposure because he is easily manipulated.  You think he has personally seen all of these kids and academies??  No chance.  He gets his info from parents and thousands of parents send him clips of their kids. Only the good clips of course. Because he built this platform, and parents realized he could be used, they of course started to manipulate him.  And this will continue. One thing is for certain USSF doesn't pay attention to him or make any decisions from his lists.  They are literally just click bait and that is all. [/quote]
