Does anyone have anything that remotely resembles "proof" that ODP is corrupt?

Click to the 00/01 South roster. There are 2 GKs. One plays for Tennessee FC U17 ECNL, the other plays for Tennessee FC U18/19 ECNL.
They have been coached by the same club coach and that coach's Bio includes:
ODP State Team Coach- NC, SC and TN
Member of Region III staff
Region III Age Group Asst Coach
Region III Age Group Head Coach
Asst Director of Region III
So we are supposed to believe the "best" GK in the entire 2019 age group in a 12-State area and the "best" GK in the entire 2020 age group in a 12-State area JUST HAPPEN to play at the same club and JUST HAPPEN to have a club coach with a leadership role in Region III ODP?
So after months and months of "tryouts" that are held across 12 States and then a week long camp in Alabama, these 2 GKs emerge as the "best" GKs to represent Region III and there is nothing political?
Even worse, a month after the Thanksgiving Interegionals they'll get invited to go on an ODP International trip because they "played so well at Thanksgiving."
I don't blame the girls- they're just along for the ride but this is embarrassing.

you think ODP is bad, check out the selection process for the Us national teams youth teams, boys and girls, coaches calling in favors, emailing harassing the "scouts". if a coach has a kid, 99 percent guaranteed they are in the pools... no wonder we suck at soccer, what an f-ing joke... the selection process needs to be completely revamped.. think tab ramos will fix it?

Like, not a single person involved in all of Region III ODP said, "OK. you can slime your GK into one of the two spots but there is no way we can all keep a straight face and let you slime your players into both of the open spots."

So these are supposed to represent that top players from a 12-State area?
17 out of 18 girls list a Graduation Year
3 - 2018
9 - 2019
5 - 2020
Why combine 00/01 - these are the prime recruiting years? And if you're going to combine, why have 5 2020s?
And for the 2018s - they are 3 of the top soccer players in the 12 state Region 3 and they are not committed yet - that should have happened last year for them?
Through the years ODP has done some "strange" things but this makes no sense.
