[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]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]
Nice try, but no.

One at Leverkusen and the other on FC  Cincinnati first team.  There are others, I just don't have time to dig them all up.  I know these two personally.  [/quote]

FC Cincinnati is MLS

I hope you have more than one-offs to prove a pattern [/quote]

For starters, these are TWO examples so on it's face couldn't be one offs.  Second, I hope you have some examples of how DCU is doing a good job.  You LITERALLY have a one off homegrown signing which I've shown is compete bulls#t.  Keep trying.  [/quote]

Actually those are two names and of the two only one is at a top league club

Add to that, where is the proof they were offered a place at dcu but chose elsewhere?
Also, with all the MLS academies, pre-mls next and after MLS next started are very different eras[/quote]

Pre and post mls next is irrelevant.  Actually post MLS next showed MORE academies investing in true residency programs and training multiple times a day.  Union was doing that over a decade ago. DCU still not doing it.  [/quote]

Says you

You sure love brand name and image and appearances 
Because all the fancy frills you keep mentioning about other academies all lead to the same destination. College ball and less than 1% going true professional. [/quote]

Same ridiculous argument over and over.  So then don't even try.  Just stick with mediocrity.  Which is what you're doing anyway at DCU.

The kids at Barca, Real Madrid, Ac Milan, Benfica etc etc have the same low chances.  But I guess their chances are the same at those academies than they are at DCU??  🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭😭😭😭. Similar situation doesn't mean two things are similarly situated.  [/quote]

No, the kids at the European academies you listed have a higher probability of being in the low percentage of who makes it to top tier professional careers

The MLS academy kids who stay here till 18 do not have that high probability.

Please drop the emotional comments
