Revs potentially fill problem spot by drafting Borman Left back an issue in 2011; still must agree to deal for 2012 FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – It didn't take long for New England to dip into the Re-Entry Draft and emerge with a potential solution at left back. Former Toronto FC defender/midfielder Danleigh Borman could join the Revolution in time for the 2012 campaign after the club chose him with the first selection in Stage 1 of the Re-Entry Draft on Monday afternoon. The former University of Rhode Island star represented a natural pick for a Revolution side that needs to boost its options at left back in time for next season, according to general manager Michael Burns. “In talking with Jay [Heaps, Revolution coach], we feel like we have a few needs that we want to address during this offseason,” Burns told MLSsoccer.com on Monday. “A left-sided player is one of those. We feel there's a need there. Whether it's left back or left midfield, we feel like [Borman] can play a couple of different positions for us. That's really why we chose him.” www.mlssoccer.com/news/article/2011/12/05/revs-potentially-fill-problem-spot-drafting-borman

Jaqua, Simms give rebuilding Revs some veteran savvy Re-Entry Draft picks have a combined nine titles between them looks like new Revolution head coach Jay Heaps will have a pair of established veterans around to help him with his rebuilding efforts. Forward Nate Jaqua (above) and defensive midfielder Clyde Simms are likely to join Heaps in New England after the Revolution picked both players in Stage 2 of the Re-Entry Draft on Monday afternoon. Both will receive genuine contract offers within seven days as the Revs attempt to secure their signatures for next season. If either or both of the players cannot reach a new agreement for the 2012 campaign, the Revs would then secure the first right of refusal on their MLS rights www.mlssoccer.com/news/article/2011/12/12/jaqua-simms-give-rebuilding-revs-some-veteran-savvy
