I took Curtin's comments to be exclusively comparing Kentucky to MLS Next Pro, not the Union first team, he seems to be acknowledging that Kentucky doesn't win every big game because he's playing kids and relating it to a team of MLS Next Pro kids being knocked out of the Open Cup by older players on teams in lower leagues, but down the line it's better for the players (Kentucky MBB families getting paid down the line by NBA teams and MLS Next Pro players becoming prominent USMNT players). Tougher though since the Union are several organizations and Kentucky MBB is just one. That said, please win more, Union.
