[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So the biased anti-dcu hater made dozens of posts on this and other threads about dcua not signing homegrown players from the academy

Then as soon as dcua signs a kid to a homegrown contract, the said clearly biased with axe to grind individual tears into the kid, his family and dcua with repeated toxic posts [/quote]

As someone who knows quite a few players at DCU but is somewhat outside looking in, I find the arguments made compelling. As I have watched, I have found DCU to be lukewarm impressively at best. These posts have helped give me perspective and [b]data[/b] I don’t have but have confirmed what I was beginning to realize.

This is not saying no local players should go to DCU. Just that it’s not really the same as going to Philly or somewhere else. [/quote]

Give me the short version of the objective verifiable "data" you have read that has tangible application to the decision making process to not have your kid go to the DCU Academy?

Saying going to a different academy is different is beyond stating the obvious. 
Going to a different university is different.

The facts are that it is all personal choice for the very limited few who qualify (which eliminates over 99% of us) 
In addition, if the goal is top level professional career, going to any MLS club academy until 18 years old stacks the odds against you.

There is no data showing kids from the DMV who had an opportunity to go to dcu but chose another MLS club and then had top tier success after U18 professionally or internationally. [/quote]
