Dual Nats

One of Berhalter’s accomplishments as the USMNT manager is recruitment. The coach has taken criticism for tactics, team selection, and recently locker room control. A constant has been his ability to recruit players. Sergino Dest(FC Barcelona), Yunus Musah(Valencia), and Ricardo Pepi(FC Dallas) have all committed to the USMNT under his tenure. Recently the USSF has seen two provisionally cap-tied individuals Julian Araujo and David Ochoa, file a one-time switch to our rivals Mexico. Why are talented Dual-Nats leaving, how can the USSF mitigate this problem, and how does the USMNT move forward now that two top prospects are gone?
