So what? Again, DCUs way of trying to show development when no development is actually happening. Those three show up on the first team or get sold, then we can talk. Until then, all DCU facade of development.

U18 onwards is time to perform
Looking for youth development at U19 you missed the boat
In November Alexandria U19s beat Philly Union. So let's also say Philly Union is crap based on the lack of football knowledge and logic in this gossip forum
OK, I am fine with that. Most of the MLS academies are nothing but talent brokers. They recruit a bunch of already skilled players and hope to sell 1 out of 100 to legitimate teams overseas.
I tend to agree with this. Although there are a few academies that are decent developers of talent. Not great, but decent. DCU is absolutely not one of them.
Yes, they are all about winning.
That's why the stronger players in each age group train with and play with older age groups.
No development happening there.
Playing up does not equal development If you're not impacting the game playing up the same way you would be doing on age then playing up is much less beneficial. Barely hanging on playing up is a move backwards not forwards.
No development is happening at DCU, that is absolutely correct.

You do realize that two of the regulars on the DCU first team (Ku Di Pietro and Hopkins) spent their ENTIRE youth career at Arlington. How many current DCU first team players were developed in the academy? I'll wait....

Or else you don’t realize that the U19 team is actually U17 and 18 with maybe a couple of U19 at most. But gonna ahead with your nonsense.

He is U19 and not at a top college or going pro, so obviously he wasn't cut from the right cloth.
Other DCU players his age and younger have achieved more already.
You people sound stupid keep trying to blame the organization for your kid not being good enough!

So you don’t want to hear the truth from the happy insiders with factual info that contradicts some of the things put out there? You just the disgruntled ones?
But yet you have presented NO FACTS. That is a fact
You copy and paste that?
You're the Accuser.
They told you you lied about all age groups losing.
MLS Next website collaborates their statement that all age groups aren't losing.
They also pointed out the fact the U14's haven't lost yet this season
Facts
You lied that for the U14's they only recruit big and mature 13 year olds.
That's another lie.
Facts
They say you're obsessed with the academy.
Obviously Facts.
No one said all age groups are losing. So that is just a moot point. But DCU did lose to Arlington. That was what started the new posts.
No one said they only recruit big kids. They recruit predominantly bigger kids that have hit puberty. Just got to games and you can see that for yourself.
U14s not losing this season is support for feasting at younger ages but straight famine at older ages because the same kids don't know how to play. Because dcu didn't teach them. U18 and U19 are really that much different in terms of ability.
You can think DCU is a proper outfit if you want but don't expect everyone else to believe that crap. Do you
We hear you big dawg
The dcu kids can't play.
Only your kid can, but somehow the idiots at dcua rejected him
Where did your kid end up where his generational talent was recognized?
Barca? Real Madrid? PSG? Bayern?
NO. DCU can't teach them how to better players because it is one of the worst academies in the MLS.
You sound like my Middle School kids and their friends yelling while playing xbox
