    Winning is important because it qualifies the team for the playoffs, or top flights in the showcases. That translates into scouting by D1 coaches. That scouting can potentially lead to scholarships.
    College coaches gave up on recruiting Revs players last year. Revs players aren’t academically inclined.

      Not every school is "academically inclined." Coaches can go to battle for players they really want and plenty of standards are bent. But you have to have something to coach really wants. That may or may not apply to Revs players

        Only difference makers get the treatment you’re referring to. There aren’t any players like that at the Revs currently.

          This explains most Revs commitments

            Hours upon hours in traffic driving to Foxboro or traveling to distant matches, disrupting the lives of our family members for this opportunity, those are just some of the reasons.

            Everything about the Revs sucks, why waste your time with them?

              You were bullied as a kid, teenager and as an adult weren't you. Guessing some soccer player from Massachusetts took your college girlfriend and you have been upset about life ever since. Go watch some Marvel Comic flicks and chill.

                I think you’ve got the wrong person. Give me a few of your favorite reasons why the Revs don’t completely suck.

                  The Revs are amazing. They can both suck and blow at the same time.

                    I'm not so sure the team winning matters that much. None of the Seacoast or Bolts teams have made the playoffs in recent years and their commits go to a wide range of schools from the geek NESCAC to the ACC and Big 10 or 11 however many schools it's up to now. I'd say the DA is a nice platform to begin. Know what you want out of it and make sure it's feasible. No need to stress so hard about the record of the team because maybe NE isn't such a hotspot like we hope it is. Getting up to ten thousand pages still isn't going to make the Krafts notice much less care.

                    Honestly, I dig the passion here. Don't anybody go have a stroke over the ****ty Revs though.

                      I get the impression that the Revs are for lower class families, which is a good thing. People that can’t afford club soccer, or college for that matter, should have access to soccer and the opportunity to earn a college scholarship.

                        Except that Revs are failing them on that measure.

                          Luckily the Revs treat everyone equally poorly regardless of economic status. They’re as quick to cut a poor kid mid-year as they are a rich kid.

                            I know of the horror stories in the rest of the world about pro soccer clubs exploiting and or neglecting players (shipping container/dorm fire that killed boys in Brazil being the most recent) but clubs have a responsibility for these kids. Yanking a kid around through disregard or incompetence is not excusable.

                            Here at least we haven't seen exploitation of players. So that's good on the Revs! Breaking curfew and smoking dope isn't *that* big of a deal - though I get why boys should be booted for that.

                              Luckily the Revs don’t boot players even for illegal drug use.

                                Weed in California is legal.
