Jamar Beasley

[DLite]

Jamar is in the squad that will travel to Boiano for the pre-season friendlies. Hopefully, Calcio Supporter can make it to one of the games and let's us know how Jamar did.

On a side note, both Alex Yi, a Nocerina target, and Nelson Akwari are listed as free agents by US Soccer in their press release for the U-23's trip to England. Maybe they will make an impression on some manager overseas.

Would Nocerina be able to sign Yi with the new foreigner limits in Italy?

Here's Nocerina website. (http://www.forzanocerina.it/tratt.htm) They are in Serie C2, which is the 4th Italian division

No. Even though there are no longer foreigner limits in Italy per se, Nocerina, as a Serie C/2 club, cannot sign any *additional* foreign players until after the end of the season.

[DLite]

This should make it official. http://www.forzanocerina.it/rosa.htm He is at the bottom of the page.

Buff, is there any site that you know of that would make it easier to keep up with the Serie C2 season? Also, are you going to list Jamar as a YA on CSN?

[soccerdome]

Hey, if anyone sees Jamar again ask him if he's learning Itailian & how he's adjusting with the language barrier & stuff like that. Oh, & if he likes the enviroment.

Not much beyond Yahoo Italy.

The above site looks like it's going to be updated fairly often during the season. In Italian, of course.

I did a word search for Jamar and found two older articles:

July 1 (announcing his arrival along with the Slovenian Franko Nisandzic):
http://seriec.datasport.it/leggi.asp?id=1265268

March 6 (story about possible transfer to Puteolana, at the time)

Hey Everyone, new info!
Jamar has left Nocerina on a trade deal, and gone back to the original club that was interested in him, I beleive Puteolana. I guess they made an offer for him that Nocerina couldn't refuse, and apparently it's pretty sweet for jamar too. More details to follow, as we should be hearing from Jamar by email here in the next day or so.

He has been learning Italian since the first time he visited there a year or so ago. He told me that of all the places he's ever been in the world, that part of Italy is by far his favorite spot to be. Plus, I know the Puteolana club owner took him into Napoli for a runway fasiion show, and itroduced him to a bunch of Italian super models........sigh, such a hard life!

I haven't seen Jamar play more than once on T.V. and have never seen DMB and Jamar standing together. I was wondering if Jamar is any bigger than DMB, or is he another 120 lb player?

Just curious since some people on this thread seem to know them.

Thanks,

Scumby

Jamar weighs around 160-170 pounds.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Sorry no offense but we're all laughing our @sses off here. Jamar is an inch or so taller, maybe less, but he only weighs about 140 dripping wet.

Okay guys here's the NEW 411!

Jamar is indeed with Puteolana now, as I understand it, this club is in the C1 division, and is somewhere near or in Milan. It is where Jamar says he wanted to be all along because of the city, the atmosphere....oh and the super models didn't hurt too much either!

Puteolana is in the C2/C (http://www.soccerage.com/en/18/04398.html), which is the fourth level of the Italian leagues. They only survived relegation last year in a playoff (or a "play-out" as they call it), by benefit of two 0-0 results against Tricase--which allowed Puteolana salvation due to their 32 points compared to Tricase's 31 in the league.

Also, the C2/C is for clubs in the south. Puteolana is located in Pozzuoli, which is just east of Naples/Napoli.

P.S. I thank the soccer gods that no one in MLS or WUSA borrowed the name of Puteolana's rival in C2/C, "Gladiator."

Sorry, but does anyone have confirmation (links) of the move to Puteolana? I can't find it anywhere.

Dude, not sure if you are trying to be a smart@ss or what, but Jamar is from here, he hangs out with us when he's home, and I have known him since he was 14.....I'm telling you he DOES NOT weigh 160. I was working with him at a camp at The Plex for a week before he went to Italy just a few weeks ago......he is most definately not 160 pounds......take it or leave it! I'll ask him next time I chat online with him, (not very often), and I'll feel like an ass asking to just to prove you wrong, but I know he's still a relatively slim guy. Geeez, this is starting to get ridiculous, isn't there a Back Street Boy we can obsess about instead?

[BrianCappellieri]

I dunno but I'm just sick of hearing "The Plex." :D

Anyway, do you actually know how much he weighs (not that I care)? Or do you think he weights less than 160?

Cory, I would hate to put you in an ass like position when talking to Jamar. That's lovely that you have known him since you were 14 and I hope you guys have a nice relationship. Who's your favorite Backstreet Boy?
