Fans clamoring for offseason signings got two Tuesday afternoon.

But they weren't announced new Real Salt Lake additions. The Real Monarchs announced two players, RSL-Arizona academy product midfielder Andrew Brody and former Houston Dynamo forward Colin Rolfe. Both are products of the University of Louisville's men's soccer program.

The 20-year-old Brody grew up in Orlando, Fla., and later spent time with the Orlando City U-23 roster. In his three seasons at Louisville, Brody had nine goals and 15 assists in 61 collegiate matches.

"Andrew is a two-way, left-sided winger that continues to improve our attack," RSL general manager Craig Waibel said in a club release. "He made a lot of progress at the collegiate level and this will be a great opportunity for him to continue that growth as we continue to evolve our player development."

Rolfe was a first-round draft pick of the Dynamo in the 2012 MLS SuperDraft. He never made a first team appearance in his one year in Houston. Rolfe went on to sign with the Rochester Rhinos in 2014, eventually playing a key part in the Rhinos' USL championship run in 2015. In two seasons in Rochester, he had eight goals and three assists. The Spokane, Wash., native turns 26 in February.

With the addition of Brody and Rolfe, the current Monarchs sits at 15. Players are scheduled to report for entrance physicals for Year 2 of the Monarchs this Friday. The club will then travel to Costa Rica for a preseason trip, Feb. 6-19.

An interesting side story from Tuesday: Grant Wahl of SI.com reported that RSL linchpins Kyle Beckerman and Nick Rimando are two of seven veterans not to be called in for the January U.S. men's national team camp.

The why is where it gets interesting. Beckerman and Rimando — along with Clint Dempsey, Graham Zusi, Brad Evans, Chris Wondolowski and Omar Gonzalez — were initially part of the 36-man roster, but Wahl reports the month-long camp was a source of concern for the USMNT veterans.

Day 1 of the camp was scheduled for Monday. After the veterans voiced their concern, Wahl writes, Jurgen Klinsmann and U.S. Soccer moved the camp back a week. Nonetheless, the veterans are not expected to be called in, but have been placed on standby, the report states.

RSL had no comment on the report.

The U.S. faces Iceland in a friendly on Jan. 31 and later Canada on Feb. 5 at the StubHub Center in Carson, Calif. RSL will be in Southern California at the time. The club is scheduled to travel to Oceanside, Calif., for 10 days in the first portion of preseason.
