If you think MLS Academies are doing much of anything in terms of development, you need to travel more.

Many MLS academies (Philadelphia, New York, LA Galaxy etc.) are developing kids.  Just not DC United.[/quote]
DP, but while DC United has never been a model academy, they have developed plenty of pros.  DCU has 5 or 6 homegrowns on their current roster alone, and some of them will almost certainly have overseas opportunities in the coming years. [/quote]

DC United has access to an incredible local talent pool - at least the equal of anywhere else in the country - which they freeload off.[/quote]
I agree there is a deep talent pool here, but DC United had several good academy coaches through the years and some pretty good teams. They weren’t free like all the other MLS DA’s back in the day, but they offered good training for reasonable fees and opportunities for top DA players to train with the senior team (including Wayne Rooney for a sadly brief time!)

How is it a complete mess at the moment?   What changed?  [/quote]
