I watched Stanford's last 2 games and remarked on a couple of occassions that it was quite a coincidence that two of the Revs biggest needs - left back and left mid - could be filled by Taylor's little brother. Any chance that the Sophmore Twellman will take a similar path as Taylor and ditch college for a pro-career? I thought he looked very good and I wouldn't mind seeing him in Red, White and Blue feeding big brother from the left.

James practiced "unofficially" with the Revs this past Summer while visiting Taylor in Boston. Supposedly he was not out of place amongst the pros. Its awfully hard to turn down a Stanford free ride, however, for 24 k per year.
"Roger" should stay in school until he gets drafted. http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/021216/168/2vhab.html
If the Revs picked up Twellman the Younger, we might suffer from the sort of beefcake discussions that happen on the Quakes boards.
