The Kids Are Alright

Chicago has been good about allowing its young players to grow and develop in the past. Harry Shipp and Brandon Vincent were given extensive playing time from 2014-2015 and 2016-2018, respectively. These plentiful early minutes fast-tracked their career growth as they proved their talent on the pitch.
