We talked a little last week about how outstanding the current state of the FCD Academy is, so this week I thought it would be worth looking at the prospects the program has produced in the last few years.

There is a ton of info here collected by a lot of people. Special thanks to long time reader Charlynn Helms who complied all this info and was willing to share it.

Let us once again recognize the amazing job Oscar Pareja is doing with this program. FCD has the best youth set up in the nation and Pareja is largely responsible.

The FCD Academy has produced...
11 Pro contracts
5 IMG Bradenton Academy players
28 Unique names to a national team
