The Revolution Academy needs to make some changes.

Revs keep adding college commits. Every other club not so much.

dont' fish for player's names. disgusting. ask yourself - would you want your kid discussed on this board?

What’s wrong with that? The rules say to just use initials. Who cares? This is a forum to talk about soccer. Players are part of soccer.

In this case someone is fishing for names of kids supposedly leaving/going to private schools. It's no one's business. Player discussions, even with initials, inevitably turn in to "meh, that kid isn't good, no loss." Supposed adults hiding behind keyboards think it's ok. Again, would you really want your kid talked about? It never ends well.

So your “meh” kid got sick of the bench and is going to pay to play school?

Hardly. I just think adults should know better than to talk about minors.

Smart parents get their smart children into top schools so they can go to top colleges. Enjoy your long trips to Foxboro to play in a new league with no track record.

Unless MLS minimum salaries are $250K plus, college is a player's best bet. Easy Francis, what if the player's commute is short to Foxboro.

There’s no short commute to Foxboro during rush hour.

But those other teams are in established leagues so there is a reasonable expectation of value based on previous experience.

FWIW a friend of a friend recently joined an mls organization (rapids if it matters) and said the mls academy plan is a mess and there’s very little motivation and organization to make it happen. He said it will be a mess this year (maybe up and running by January. Maybe). If they play this fall it won’t be a league just games and showcase weekends with only mls teams. Not motivated to go play a league that will have teams that were bottom feeder DA teams and/or weren’t even DA.
