The Revolution Academy needs to make some changes.

Like I said before, the Bolts are not granting any waivers. He will be playing for their ENCL team.

Isn't there still that loophole where a kid can just "try out" in November and make a DA team (ie they aren't rostered in the fall, so don't need a waiver).

Yes you can kind of get around the "waiver" issue. DA teams can add some players at a set point during the year. That said they could promise you this will happen then not do it, or some hot shot also tries out in November and he bumps you off. Regardless teams in general don't like waivers. The schedule is all year and games have to be played when DA tells you to. So teams don't want to be missing key players in the fall. Coaches have to re-work game strategy when players come back. Lastly, it causes friction with the players who give up HS, bust their butts in the fall, then get knocked down when the waivered kids return.

God, it's soccer. It's a game, not some strategic foreign policy. Good players get on the field and play. They play well with whomever and they pick up their team mates tendencies pretty quickly. The player(s) that were given waivers by the Bolts was because they are worth giving waivers to. Plain and simple. Not rocket science as they say.

Why doesn't everyone get off the kid's titties already.

Then it begs the question. Why didn't the Revs give him a waiver? It's not like they're pumping out yearly homegrowns. How do watch a prospect like that walk out?

He is obviously an early developer in terms of his physical size. His skill level is not at the highest level. Physicality will even out in a couple years.
Stop with the promotion dad! Things may look different in 2 years.

They kicked out a NT call up. Doesn't that say enough about how much thy care about players? If Revs are trying to get rid of waivers why would they grant one? Playing for free at a MLS club isn't a right. Sometimes choices have to be made.

Riiight- none anywhere near this amazing and unbelievably talented kid. I mean this kid is captivating and out runs every other player on the field, his shot is 100% on target, his cleats have fire coming out. So cool.

Any YouTube videos on this kids team this past season? I'd love to watch and see if I could pick him out? 😃
