Originally posted by Unregistered View PostI understand your point. There are some solid players spread across the ISL and would be nice to gather them all onto one team (would definitely add strength to the Revs teams). However, saying that "some of the best players in the world" are lured to New England to go to private school is just not accurate. The best youth players are in European academies and would never give that up to go to a private school in America with comparatively inferior coaches, competition and less skilled teammates.

Originally posted by Unregistered View Postyou assume that European academies are able to scout and find the best players - that's not necessarily true. Look what happened to Ben Lederman, and many others... Also, being one of the best does not necessarily go hand in hand with wanting to go pro. To some, a great education is more important.

European clubs don't scout in the USA, except for goal keepers, because they know there is nothing here to scout.

Please stop talking about professional soccer. This is a Revs Academy thread so there's reason to even consider a professional career for these kids. The Revs Academy will cut more U15 players next June than they'll sign homegrowns by 2030.
