[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DCU has the same problem as most of US soccer. They are selecting a bunch of man children at 13 and 14 and can't figure out how to develop them. Players that are athletic freaks may make great outside or wing backs but they are not successful at other positions. Identifying the correct kids that will develop is hard and ultimately something that can't be done in a multi-day tryout. It would help if we had bigger youth clubs with a A,B,C,D,E,F,G team for each age group, but the US parent and club director egos would never be for this.    [/quote]

My DS plays for a MLS Next team since U13 and we've seen at least 3 years of DCU and all other MLS Next U14s and U15s play against our club. 
Whatever views I may have, the one thing I can honestly say is that this urban legend about dcu having giant players is pure myth. Several teams like SYC and Bethesda has bigger players on average from my estimate [/quote]

You are a clown.

They just signed a U-14 from SYC that's 6'1. [/quote]

You're calling someone a clown as you parade your undereducated ignorance.

A team signed a tall player, so in your infinite wisdom, that translates to an entire program is focused on and only signs tall players?

How about you provide the heights of all the players DCU has signed along with the heights of all other MLS club academy players so we can make the comparison based on facts?

You can't? Then what are you using as your evidence?

How is it that no one's eyes who actually see the DCU players not existing pictures can verify your lies that DCU only recruits big tall players?
Show us where Philly Union or NY Red Bulls are recruiting only average size or small players[/quote]

My son has played them multiple times and I can as a fact, Philly 2012 starters are on average the largest team ive ever seen, even compared to last year. Their second string kids are smaller but of course they had less playing time. This includes a 6'3 2012 striker who, no shade to him, has minimal technical and mostly size and speed. [/quote]
