The Revolution Academy needs to make some changes.

Historically the Revs have always lost players to Private schools which is ok. They would also lose players when the delusional parents move them to other countries (Portugal, Brasil) to try and become professionals.
The scouting network being expanded should improve the depth and help with the decline in the teams quality as they get older. We will see..

How often do they lose players to the Bolts, GPS and NEFC, which apparently have better players in the older age groups?

the network has always been there - they were just too lazy. serious recruiting takes effort, building relationships with local clubs and coaches. just calling something a "network" is just that.

They will frequently cut or lose players because they don’t get enough playing time. Also because the Revs will not give waivers for private school.
Those teams/players are not better (with a few exceptions). They play against crap competition.

Some strong players leave for those other teams at older ages because the coaching is better.

Revs get the talent because they're the best of what the area has to offer and it's a free mls club. But that's a low bar. It's what they do with the talent - or don't do in this case - that drives everyone crazy.

They do not get the best talent. Everyone knows the top '01's and '02's are either with Bolts, prep school or both. Think Belmont Hill, Noble and Roxbury Latin.
So there goes that theory.

Some of them tried the Revs first then wisely bailed, the rest saw it for what is was the place to stagnate

Stagnate is the right word. Bailed before the damage was irreparable.

This probably won't make you laugh but it ain't Bryan Scales, Josh Neff, Spratt or Frederick. They're absolute nitwits!!

Don't forget Pat Ouckama, he's a real peach. Stupid beyond words.

Well I guess we have determined why NE DA soccer is so bad. If you think Aiscough, Koolman, Payne, and especially Colwell are good then we are all in trouble.

Barely lasted two years at Ithaca. Not a good sign.

Leaving on his own is better than getting fired by NU like Aiscough.
