A ranking of the first Academy players to suit up with S2 and when we should expect to see them on the field again.
Sounders 2 is supposed to be a place to develop young talent getting them ready for MLS minutes or weeding them out before they get there. In any case, it gives the Sounders roughly an extra 10-20 roster spots to test out players and with the amateur rules for the USL, the Sounders Academy will get plenty of exposure with S2. The first year only saw six Academy players with substantial minutes but that should grow as the team learns how to work S2, S1, and the Academy altogether.
