      Yes, they'll definitely be better off as far as college placement opportunities, but their soccer development, while I'm sure was not great at the Revs, is certainly not going to progress any in the ISL and will probably even backslide. They'll definitely be noticed in that league and probably be one of the top three players on the team, but with worse players around them training day-in, day-out, and worse game day competition. Not a great preparation for college soccer, but hopefully, with a good club to supplement over the rest of the year, it'll be enough to get them where they want soccer-wise in college. Really too bad there aren't better options in this area for top players.

        What total B.S. about day to day training with "worse players."

        UNH is a top 20 D1 program.

        They have an Oregon ODP player.

        They have a player that played all 4 years at Windham H.S.

        They have 2 GPS NH players.

        They have a Kimball Union All-NEPSAC player.

        They have a kid that played at Exeter High School.

        They have an NEFC player.

        If you are a solid soccer player it doesn't matter where you play.

          I think you may have missed my point. Of course, top D1 schools will have excellent teams made up of players from all types of high school programs, private schools, public schools, DA, high level club, etc. I'll also bet those players on UNH who came from ISL schools were the top on their team, so they were training in essence with worse players. If you took the Revs roster and lined them up from best to worst with the roster from an ISL school, perhaps the top two players would match up well, but there would be an enormous difference by the time you hit player #8 on each team. That difference in player quality has an impact on training quality.

            They all play club as well. They'll be fine soccer-wise and definitely well off academically.

                That were developed elsewhere? Typical. Revs aggregate (and only because they're MLS). They don't develop.

                    This would be believable but for the fact that there are no stars.

                          Revs bring in a NY player so they can finally get someone with some USNT chops.

                            The Pats are back. Revs Academy is relegated back to 349th priority on the Gillette property.

                              Is he on the NT? If he is, he won't be for long if once he gets "Reved"

                                Where are these kids going to live? Are they putting them in a tent at Bass Pro Shops?
