That player who got limited minutes was holding back all of your superstars. I bet you loose more games next year, because the talent gap is only getting bigger, and the training has put the spirit, I mean the Mew, MU, farther behind. Enjoy your $4,000 investment plus travel ($2,000 x 3 showcases, plus regular games). I mean the $11,000 cost for your startup. Lucky you - no more pro affiliation to hold you back.

You are just playing your starters (who couldn’t win games anyway) for a longer time. Unfortunately the DA is not the place to learn the fundamentals of how to play soccer.

Because the Pro Club ownership was mandating large roster sizes for revenue. There was no requirement or oversight regarding quality control of player selection.

You all pretend the pro affiliation wasn’t a draw. That’s the funniest part. You all paid out the a$$ so your daughters could wear that jersey and you could tell everyone she plays in a “pro academy”.

DP here. No, you misunderstand. Of course it was a draw, but that draw was, unfortunately, completely blind to player talent. Some could play, others had difficulty playing at that level. The pro affiliation was a net negative because the pro organization was using the DA as a financial buffer, and accepting players that otherwise should not have been accepted, bloating some rosters and even affecting rendering the starting lineups of a few of the teams.

The positive development with the separation is that now the incentive isn't there to overload the roster. In fact, the opposite is true. There is an incentive for these coaches, who have great reputations and have shown the ability to develop and showcase players (100% college acceptance rate last year, even with the uneven scores/results), to "cut the fat" and only keep/obtain players who can play at the level needed. Rosters will be drastically different next year; and that's not necessarily a bad thing. Players that were evaluated as core, performing players were made offers to be retained. The only thing that could hold back performance improvements this year would be the uncertainty/hesitation of good players making the decision to join.

All DA and ECNL rosters are done

Making one comment, you look smart. Coming on again and again and telling people around you over and over makes you look afraid it will succeed.

Besides, when it does make it and do well, then you look even more a fool.

As for "predicting" Larry's cut and run, either the troll is a BRYC insider who maybe did know something, or it could have just been logic. A new owner always changes something, always, no matter what they promise.

yes to the bold
