[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Local ENCL clubs have relatively the same level of talent as MLS clubs, including DCU. [/quote] The talent level at DCU is definitely higher than other MLS Next or ECNL clubs - most of the best kids end up there by U16 or U17. I would say DCU has 7 or 8 out of the top 10 players in the area in any age group. There is a fair bit of overlap between the stronger kids at MLS Next/ECNL clubs and the lower half of DCU's rosters though. [quote] However, the general exposure to college coaches is greater at an MLS club because of the MLS Showcases.[/quote] ECNL has showcases too, and coaches from the top colleges attend them too. I think this is pretty much a wash, as soccer recuiting is driven more by the kid indicating an interest than coaches targeting kids from the other side of the country. [quote]DCU exposure is even greater than a non-pro MLS club for not only college but also US Soccer ID camps and pro play.[/quote] Agreed.[/quote]
