Where is Andres Deza

This helps the clubs market but how does this pipeline help the players? What’s the difference between what this is and players trying out for a better team/club?
I don’t have an opinion about whether it is good for soccer development to have one big club take over (or attempt to) a large region vs. having several small clubs. But Star Academy really? If Porras wanted to leave Star he should have just left and see if players wanted to join him at FC Bay Area. Are their players going to travel to routinely practice and play in the South Bay? Sorry but they are not a top club, same as most clubs in the area with teams with 2-3 good players each. So top players will get more opportunities. Majority will be going on the same way as they are now, except in a new jersey and an absent DOC.

Old thread, but I randomly saw this today and thought of this thread…

I had heard Porras went to San Diego Surf after getting pushed out of Bay Area Surf. I believe that the partnership between the clubs is basically over with the clubs going back to what they were before. It was simply a way to extend Porras’ time in Northern CA after Star Academy started faltering.
