[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Makai Wells, since you brought up his name for the record, was at the U17s camp and didn't make the cut for the WC squad

Since he gave up a top class education to pursue soccer dreams, you sure hope he makes it[/quote]

What is your point?  The player left DCUs system and has achieved more than ANY player in his age group at DCU or even in any age group at DCUs academy.  FACTS.[/quote]

Aren't there DCU kids in the final training pool for U15 and U16 USYNT?
He made it to final training pool of U17s

So what's the achievement above and beyond.[/quote]

NO.  He played in official GAMES with the US National Team...very different than a a pool player in the region.  No DCU player has suited up for the youth national team.in a game against another nation from the academy under the age of 18 since Gavin Turner in 2021.  Using the US national team as a success metric for DCU is just not a good approach.

And no DCU kids will make the actual national team.  Largely because US Soccer knows DCU can't develop talent.  [/quote]

Don't see anyone pushing metrics to prove anything for DCU

See someone repeatedly saying provide metrics behind lofty rhetoric for what other academies are doing for players

That said, you're saying going to a friendly game to determine quality for final roster cut and not making it deserves more credit?[/quote]
