Message: [QUOTE="DeGrozz, post: 3068311, member: 205"] Sargent and Pulisic came up through the same system as the MLS academies, except they went to different for-profit teams. I actually think Sargent's team is associated with Sporting KC who helps develop the club's coaches and set training strategies. I'm not sure if Puli's team is associated with a pro team, but most of them are all intertwined in that same sphere. I'm bringing it up because I think there is some misconception that those two are these unicorns who magically became top-5 league talents on their own. They were part of the same pay-for-play system, the only difference between them and Gio Reyna or Tyler Adams is they didn't live close enough to an MLS team to have a name-brand USSDA team. [/QUOTE]
