[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, well over 1 or 2.  Seems to be a decent number relative to other MLS academies. But still a bit disappointing given the relative strength of soccer in the DMV area and especially compared to success of the players coming out of the strongest academies like Union & FC Dallas.

Typo: 1-2 per year.

Which is still nothing for all the hundreds of the little "Messi's" in the DMV.[/quote]

I agree that there is more talent in this area to produce just 1-2 signings every year.

But given the historically poor quality of training at DCU (although getting better), they probably loose a few talents to other MLS academies and for those with dual citizenships, to academies abroad. [/quote]
