U18 MNT Camp- Our area players all from FCD??

Just a question to think about?? with all our top Academy programs here in Texas most players getting called up do they all seem to be from FCD? are they doing a great Job at FCD and found a way to implement development and growth? are these players developed elsewhere and coming to FCDallas because they get looked at more for the NTeams? Just wondering???
What are your opinions and thoughts? or is it just the plain numbers of teams they have in the boys side of the club? Sheer numbers and when will their fields be maxed out as in too many teams?? Not trying to create issues, just impressed with FCDALLAS getting it done. or every Coach here in Texas giving these boys the right skills, technique, tactics, etc to be the best.

The U.S. U18 Men’s National Team is headed to Chula Vista on Saturday, April 23 for the start of the third camp for the 1999 age group of 2016. The U18 MNT’s last camp was in March in Argentina. The group went undefeated in three friendlies in Buenos Aires with wins over clubs San Lorenzo and Racing Club as well as a 2-1 win over Urguay. Nicholas Taitague and Griff Dorsey finishes as joint top scorers from the trip with two goals a piece.

U18 MNT head coach Omid Namazi called in 23 players for the weeklong camp in Chula Vista. All of the players are born in 1999 and only two of them play for clubs outside of the United States.

Take a look at the full roster below, which was provided to TopDrawerSoccer via a source.

GOALKEEPERS (2): Andrew Morrison (Texans SC Houston; Kingwood, TX), Brady Scott (De Anza Force Academy; Petaluma, CA)

DEFENDERS (7): Kyle Gruno (Leicester City; Leicester, UK), Bailey Heller (Real Colorado; Highlands Ranch, CO), Matthew Real (Philadelphia Union; Drexel Hill, PA), Mark Salas (FC Dallas; Dallas, TX), Aedan Stanley (St. Louis Scott Gallagher Missouri Academy; Columbia, IL), Angel Uribe (Club Tijuana; Tijuana, Mexico), Carson Vom Steeg (Real So Cal; Santa Barbara, CA).

MIDFIELDERS (7): Raul Aguilera Jr. (Orlando City SC Acadmey; Sanford, FL), Jose Carranza (DC United), Anthony Fontana (Philadelphia Union; Newark, Delaware), Andrew Paoli (San Jose Earthquakes; San Jose, CA), Paxton Pomykal (FC Dallas; Highland Village, TX), Brandon Servania (FC Dallas; Dallas, TX), Nicholas Taitague (Carolina Railhawks FC; Midlothian, VA)

FORWARDS (7): Shaft Brewer Jr. (Sacramento Republic FC; Sacramento, CA), Griff Dorsey (Colorado Rush; Evergreen, CO), Landen Haig (Orlando City SC Academy; Melbourne Beach, FL), Thomas Katsiyiannis (Minnesota Thunder; Eden Prairie, MN), Justin Rennicks (New England Revolution Academy; Hamilton, MA), Kei Tomozawa (Seattle Sounders; Bellevue, WA), Aristotle Zarris (Real Salt Lake AZ; Casa Grande, AZ)

For those age groups your point makes sense.

However:

At the 01 age group the only kid called into the last camp from Texas was from Houston Dynamo academy.  

The only kid from North Texas at the Residency in Bradenton right now with the U17 National team is from Solar.  

The last time the 2002 age group National team got together, the only kids from Texas were from the Houston Dynamo and Lonestar Clubs.

It comes and goes among teams but FCD does seem to have a lot of them.

Paxton Pomykal (FC Dallas; Highland Village, TX) played for the Dallas Texans until 2014.

Andrew Morrison (Texans SC Houston; Kingwood, TX)... Is this Houston club in some way associated to our Texans clubs here? I wasn't immediately able to tell.

It isn't just FCD... The majority of the kids that were selected are associated to MLS academies. The publicity that the MLS academy programs can provide helps, no doubt.
