But what happens when those kids leave for abroad before they can be signed?
thats the question being asked all across the US ....here you cant really sign many of them to pro contracts since then they wont be able to go to college as student athletes. but on other hand you also risk losing them to a club overseas ( if they are really special) so you may lose lose.
Unless the kid clearly does not want college and is good enough to be pro in the US

i mean how much annually do you think he should be offered? ....he still 16. we giving him the league minium (what is it 60K? ) or 100K right away?
The Generation Adidas program is designed to confront this. If you sign for MLS, you get college paid for, and that applies whether you choose to go before starting professionally, after, or a combination of the two.
I would have thought we could really open up the pocketbook since he would have been our only homegrown and we could use our homegrown budget on him.
