The Herd: Borges, Lombard called into YNT, Metzger in the TotW, and academy playoffs update

An action packed roundup this week featuring players from all walks of the Red Bulls hierarchy.

After two stellar seasons, close to 20 college commitments, and one potential contract offer, the New York Red Bulls academy's U16 and U18 teams' seasons are done. Despite the pedigree and historic success of New York's academy teams against competition from across the nation, both team's fell in their respective group stages of USDA playoffs.

Only the top team of every group advances and the U16s 1-1-1 record wasn't enough to get them out of the group stage. On a more positive note, the U16s did end their 2015-2016 season with a strong 2-0 win against Chicago, with goals coming from Giuseppe Margiottiello and Ben Mines.
