I have a slightly different view of this. In general, I think the amount of exposure players get is more closely related to the success of the particular team than to the badge it wears. College coaches are drawn to players and to teams. They don't seem to be particularly interested in the name on the front of the shirt. They also don't seem to care much whether they are watching a USSF DA game, a R3PL game, or a Region III ODP game.

I tend to think that the USSF Academy will, one day, be the primary entity for "ultra-elite" youth soccer. At the moment, it, ODP and USYSA Premier leagues are about equal in terms of the opportunities for exposure.

When all is said and done, all of the big clubs get their kids in front of enough college coaches that the better players are unlikely to be overlooked. They do it in different ways, but the good teams are known to the coaches and they watch them.
