With Seattle's very young Academy program it was going to be a while before they signed their first HomeGrown Player. Today they no longer wait. DeAndre Yedlin (Akron, Sounders U23s, Sounders Academy, O'Dea) signs with Seattle.
Seattle has yet to sign a HomeGrown Player. This may be the offseason that they sign one. If so what do we know?
From the dreams of one man comes a method to loosen the MLS salary cap in a way that rewards talent evaluation and increases the chances that players stay within the league.
DeAndre Yedlin named first-team all-conference and all-PDL after a stellar season with the Sounders U23.
If you are the system, you don't get to blame the system.
Someday the Sounders will sign a first HGP. Aaron Kovar belongs on the list of potential players for that selection.
