Eskilson@JREskilson @IsaacEsquivel1 it should be announced in the next few days. Players were informed who else would be there today.
Wonder who this is............... USAprospects @USAprospects 13h Look for a big time european based talent to rejoin the US U18 for their camp in April.
Rejoining means maybe Kyle Scott from Chelsea? I was hoping it'd be Romney from Inter, does anyone know much about him by the way? All I know is he is a striker at Inter.

U.S. Soccer YNT @ussoccer_ynt 13h Update: @NewYorkRedBulls Academy defender Henry Martin replaces Tom Redding (injury) on U18 #USMNT NTC camp roster http://www.ussoccer.com/stories/2014/04/01/16/08/140401-u18mnt-ntc-training-camp…
Wanted to add that Swanson has been spending a lot of time training with the first team. Would seem more than typical. Eyes to a HG deal with summer maybe.
He played for the Fire reserves against the RB Reserves. http://www.newyorkredbulls.com/news/2014/03/red-bulls-reserves-fall-chicago-fire-2-1-2014-opener
Alright Fire "@ChiFireAcademy: CFA's @shannoncmo97 joins @c_fernandez10, @m_pineda52 @camlindleyUSA at USYNT U-18 camp. CFA with 4 players in camp tops of all clubs. #cf97"
So Stephen Payne is from Alabama but plays for Chicago Magic? Does he commute or live with a host family? And if the Magic Academy so good that it warrants relocating for?
Looks like he's originally from Birmingham, AL but goes to some hoity-toity private school at Lake Forest Academy outside of Chicago with one Luis Arreola whose father post's here and was at recent U15 camp. Have no idea why he's in Chicago to go to HS but it doesn't look like it was originally for football reasons. I don't think he regrets the move and the visibility it provided him to be seen to be picked to attend a national camp. http://www.lfanet.org/podium/default.aspx?t=126495&teamid=1552652
Seems like Magic have a decent # of out of state players in their squad. Obinwa (Florida), Payne (Alabama), now ex-Magic player Novakovich (Wisconsin). Lake Forest Academy has had a fair share of pro footballers too. Pineda and Shipp are notables who have attended
Tommy Redding was listed with the Magic as well. I'm glad he signed with Orlando but still scratching my head as how he was HG eligible as he's never been listed with Orlando City academy prior to signing. He played with a club called Vipers before Bradenton then joined Magic after Bradenton.
Before the Magic partnered with PSG they were no better than sockers fc around the area which is still pretty good but now after the partnership it seems they have gotten way better in coaching, development, scouting, etc.. interesting progress they've made
FT: U.S. U18 MNT 2-1 Canada Justen Glad &Coy Craft with the goals. Tab Ramos & Klinsmann seemed pleased with the game Justen Glad @justen_glad · 9h ago Got that goal against Canada and beat them 2-1 #USA
