    I thought I might create a thread to track stories related to the DCU Youth system. There have been a few of late that folks might have missed:

    I'm very happy to read the news about Shaq Phillips. That would be a terrible blow if teams couldn't keep players in their "system" simply because they helped them advance enough to be chosen for Bradenton. It only makes sense that the original team would hold the players rights. I'm glad that MLS didn't blow it on this one.
