US soccer hired James Brunce, a top sports scientist in England’s Premier League. He will be responsible for creating a high-performance sports science and sports medicine plan for the federation and overseeing its enactment for all programs, most notably with the youth national teams

Guess what, he is tabbed at the pioneer of biobanding because of what he observed with oxlade (facts based upon above article, so might not be facts....)

good aditional piece from US soccer with a q&a,
ussoccer.com: At the end of the day, it improves the ability to make sure that players are judged appropriately and that they don’t fall through the cracks.
JB: 100 percent. If anyone is judging a player at under-17 or under-18 purely based on their ability to score goals or their ability to dominate in a training session, there is a massive amount of evidence now that shows that you could be misidentifying them. The way we coin the phrase here is that you start seeing fool’s gold and missing the diamond in the rough. You can’t start backing the player that isn’t actually your best option only because he’s just doing well in that age group. You want to be identifying the longer-term strategy, seeing what they could offer in their 20’s. These kinds of strategies hopefully ensured that every club within the system, not only in Southampton but within England, has the ability to identify these players and make sure that their strategies are in place to make sure that they don’t get lost in the system.
