I guess barring a literal last minute signing, this thread is closed and we should start the "In Season" thread.
Babouli is not listed as a Homegrown Player on the roster page from the MLS site: http://www.mlssoccer.com/rosters/2016
Since it was also not mentioned in the release for his signing I have to assume he in fact is not a Homegrown Player. Maybe due to the fact he played in a semi-pro league (League1 Ontario) before joining the Academy?
Functionally I think the only differences are protection during expansion drafts (which IIRC may be phased out) and a greater portion retained from a transfer fee if he is moved outside the league, so not a huge deal I guess. Still a free cap hit since he's part of the supplemental roster.

Given he joined the Senior Academy when he was 21, I guess that's not exactly a 'youth development system'. That would make sense to me.
