Originally posted by Unregistered View PostLol. So much hate. I'm guessing the outright untruths being spouted here are from the pay-2-play DA academies or parents whose kids were cut.
First, the Revs have local developmental camps and relationships with town programs for "grassroots" recruiting. Those camps are run in RI, CT, and MA, the regions wich will arguably commute to Gillette if they find that "diamond in the rough".
Then they have RDS, which is better training than you'll find on most club teams. Yes, there are some coaches in club land that do an excellent job, but on the level, if you've watched RDS it is a step above most. They also run multiple coaches with the groups, so the player to coach ratio is usually better than 18-1 you get in club. Those that stand out get invited to special RDS and RDC sessions where they pick the best candidates for their academy teams.
Last, they have their feeder clubs in pay-2-play, Valeo, NEFC, and Bayside. Thise clubs now hold DA teams from u12-u14. The Revs coaches regularly meet with those clubs and teams to get an idea of the best talent available in the clubs. Very few kids will just show up at a club at u15-16 and not be on anyone's radar and be DA caliber. The Revs and the local clubs know who the players are and the relationships are there to get them into DA if the talent warrants it.
As to the senior team, the Revs were up 3-0 at the half against Seattle at Seattle. While it's disappointing that they didn't win, scoring 3 while away and coming away with a draw on the road is a decent performance. Fagundez, Nguyen, and Agudelo are top quality with Nguyen and Agudelo on the NT radar.
Sounds like the same haters here day in day out. Let it go. Your kid didn't make it and your pay-2-play club isn't fully funded. #FirstWorldProblems

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostSuspended players, top players leaving for better opportunities, a glimpse at the future in the 13's and 14's that doesn't look promising. Scales is most certainly feeling the heat, as he should. The fully funded MLS hook is losing its grip in the region. Titanic like atmosphere around the Revs these days. The fiddlers are on deck.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostNo reason to send Revs coaches to Clairefontaine France (you can't polish Rhode Island turds). I suggest while in Philly this weekend, that they pop into the Union's YSC facility and see how legitimate soccer youth Academies should be run. Going to Guingamp is a waste of time too. Sh*t team and organization, no value to be gained. Philadelphia, Atlanta, Dallas. No need to go across the pond.
