San Jose Earthquakes Academy is on its way!

Maybe the U19 and the U20 people should get together and talk?

 

2 current Quakes one former

Finally got around to watching this. Of course this is cherry-picked stuff, but Rohan made some good passes out of the back and played well out of pressure. His winning the ball and then pass into the box led to Medina's goal. Low center of gravity and seems like pretty good pace. I feel like he has more upside as a dmid than Mendoza. Mendoza is very clean technically but not so much of a protagonist.

 

One Quakes kid and he's from Ceres same as the Cowells

Not in the top 10

Updated list of the @mls clubs who’ve signed the most homegrown players ✍️ pic.twitter.com/tWt5msPGs9

— Footy Access (@footy_access) October 16, 2024

 

At this point RSL has to be the Quakes' biggest rivals just because they keep poaching our kids

Sources: Real Salt Lake sign second team standout Owen Anderson to a homegrown contract. @CarsonLantz 1st reported.

Sources add RSL will send San Jose $150k GAM for his HG rights.

Anderson, 17, has 6 goals in 1,455 mins in MLS Next Pro. https://t.co/xtKr54Rn4m

— Tom Bogert (@tombogert) October 31, 2024

Another San Jose talent gone to RSL. RSL seems to have a scouting network in the bay area. Ive seen them acquire De Anza Force players as well.

— Quakes Talk (@QuakesTalk) October 31, 2024

Looking like the Quakes are a feeder club for RSL

— UrbanDistrictX (@UrbanDistrictX) October 26, 2024

Last we heard there was a dispute and MLS was involved to mediate...

Owen Anderson (‘07) scores for RSL’s 2nd team against San Jose’s 2nd team amidst a dispute between the two clubs over his homegrown rights 👀 https://t.co/oX4NkgSH4Y https://t.co/JleqiIQFSl

Will the Quakes at least sign Tomo Allen (and of course KK Spivey)...

Top remaining unsigned players from the 2007 class:

1. WING, Gavin Turner, DC United Academy (committed to Virginia)
2. LB, Dominik Chong Qui, Atlanta United Academy
3. CF, Tomo Allen, San Jose Earthquakes Academy (committed to Stanford)
4. CF, Justin Ellis, Orlando City… https://t.co/65WXblDxgD

What a failure for the Quakes organization...
Real Salt Lake's Diego Luna named 2024 MLS Young Player of the Year

 

On the + side, we did sign Wilson Eisner to an HG contract this year.

 

Diego's taken a very interesting path:

🔘 Left San Jose Earthquakes Academy at 15 because he wasn't getting the training and playing opportunity he wanted
🔘 Joined Barca Residency
🔘 SIgned with El Paso in USL at 17, one of the first young players of significance to take this… https://t.co/M3kQfxvpy0

What's next? He rejoins the Quakes, seeking to go full circle and reward his hometown club where he got his start!!

 

Hopefully he misses living in Sunnyvale

 

I'm sure he does. And it's my hometown too. I mean come on! Who wouldn't want some of this!

 

Can we at least sign KK Spivey, before it's too late?

FWIW, KK was at the county session on the training fields, and his brother Jermaine spoke.

I've watched Chance Cowell play a few minutes here and there for The Town, and very limited sample size, but I haven't seen him do anything "good" yet. Would need to see him in a full game.

 

Not sure how much Cowell will play, that roster is stacked at forward
