[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From the '09 group, they have sent one kid to Charlotte, two to Austin FC, one to New England Revolution, one to Philly Union, at least one to DCU (probably more earlier), and another kid is moving to Colombia to play.

I think PP meant you should highlight the Arlington players who went to MLS academies after MLS Next started in 2020[/quote]

Uhm- those already referenced went this year (in like the past 6 months)--5 full years after MLS Next started. They could have moved/played at any point across the past 5 years to Bethesda, Alexandria or SYC. They didn't. Perhaps the best proof point is that all these players got developed in house at the younger years and are attractive outside of the DMV--circumventing the lackluster process DCU has to identify and recruit local talent. The odds were against them and yet...[/quote]
