If true, that's 100% on the parents, who either plan for their kid to leave ML, or who think Lil Breydon's talent is above the fray and ML can't do anything to him.

I say that because there's two things the national teams want to do in regards to MD-DC-Philly kids:

1) Make piles of money
2) Avoid scrutiny by the witches' coven of local MD/DC club coaches, because the "national team product" in most cases is really not amazing in terms of athlete development, exposure etc for MD/DC players. And so far, most of the local club directors have ignored the minimal conflicts caused.
