The Revolution Academy needs to make some changes.

Three players have left u17s on their own volition - JA, CP, and MS -- would not be surprising if others left due to frustrations.

LB (01) left the 19s.

Wait until the mid-season cuts hit. The team will be much better for it.

Why do we care?

We care because Angking is both Homegrown and a delinquent. Let's recap the Revs HG's, Fagundez and Caldwell were both Bolts, that leaves Herivaux who hasn't started in 4 years and Angking who doesn't have a bright future if he continues with behavioral issues. Bottom line, one true Homegrown (Zach Herivaux, who plays for Haiti) in 13 years!!
Nice job Scales!!

Both Atlanta United and NYCFC have signed 4 or 5 in just the past two years.

Chris Tierney was also a Bolts youth player(and an ISL player) before MLS academies.

And who are they going to bring in? Not that the Revs do much in terms of scouting, but it's not like there's a secret hidden stash of talent out there just waiting to be discovered.

Both new clubs also. Atlanta is doing a nice job building a fan base in the area. NYCFC is one of the few pro clubs with a GDA program. Then you have the Revs, where if they weren't forced to be in DA they wouldn't spend a dime towards youth development.

The coaches don’t care s*hit. The boys know that, the parents know that. The whole thing is just going through the motions to satisfy the MLS obligation. We feel trapped.

That sentiment has been going on at the Revs for years. That's why there's countless threads about them, all with the same story lines

- over eager Ulittle parents in the fall, realizing as winter approaches they made a big mistake watching their players flat line and grow frustrated
- players going ISL to capitalize on a good education and better path to college
- few Revs homegrowns and even fewer successful ones
- constant talent churn, poor team performance, no changes in coaching to try and improve

Charris must be out there trolling the sidelines for new moms to hit on and new bottom of the barrel town kids just like last year. He is "head of scouting" after all. Great track record.

Scales can't even be bothered to coach his U15s and he's their "head" coach. Such a waste, all these boys are sliding backwards after a strong year last year.

High school is over silly. There's plenty of talent available.

The players that left were either marginal or one case, multiple talented players at that position. The sky is not falling.

People don't get it. If you leave, the Revs don't give a ****. They do whatever the **** they want, whenever they want. That is a major component of their model whether you like it or not.

Not giving a s**t is the guiding principle of the Revs academy. They boys pick it up first, then the parents do eventually.

I wasn't talking about former Revs players. The ISL has plenty of talent that is about to become available for Winter add ons.
