Why all this animosity towards RB Arsenal as most Clubs do the same as he does. Correct me if I am wrong but didn't Legends recruit a lot of his players in 2015 and 2016 and he still rebounded and won Nationals. What promises were made when being recruited, did any make the DA team? I am not jumping on the RB bandwagon or do I always agree with his style but I do have to give him credit when newly formed powerhouses are built with players from his teams.
My question is how many players from these DA teams come from that Clubs system. As an example, how many players on Legends current DA team came from last years Legends North top team. I am specific to North because this team was coached by at minimum one of the DA staff. This would be a good example of a Club developing players as their DA players came from their system. The reason I bring this up is because when you clear the smoke, its about winning. The formula is the same in any sport get the best athletes on one team and win. The key is getting players on one team that are peaking at that moment. Today its one player tomorrow is another.
Look at RB Surf who just disbanded and everyone was thanking him on this forum. Why didn't you stay since he was developing? Why didn't RB Surf keep working to find new players and develop? At the end of the day its about athletes at a given age and who has the shiniest and newest sales pitch to convince players that this is were they will reach their goals. If a coach does not solely rely on coaching for income they usually quit. The work involved to develop a winning team is too much especially if their winning reputation is on the line.
So at the end of the day this is a competitive environment and a business where people make a living in a volatile environment. RB Arsenal is just trying to survive at this time and time will tell if he can repeat what he has done before. From one day to the next a team breaks up, a league loses power and something replaces it with new soldiers. DA is the newest recruiting tool that helps a Club keep their superiority which in turn helps financially. In the end RB Arsenal won Nationals and team was dismantled. One and done is now part of youth sports and coaches are constantly trying to survive any way they can.
