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.
Akron standout Scott Caldwell finally joins the Revs after an illustrious college career. Another step in the right direction for the Jay Heaps regime who are still looking to build a playoff-bound squad in 2013.

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.
