Where did you find the info about Patten? I see that she is on Britain's U17. I expect she will take over for KC. Angeline Daley shows lots of accolades on the Soccer recruiting charts. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet...zn2voE_qefyFYko/htmlembed?gid=5&widget=false# Those aren't perfect, but they give you a good idea. Last year Malia was the most decorated domestic recruit we got, followed by Kristen. That said, Kristen's accolades did not reflect how good she truly was. Kirsten Crowley coming in didn't have much accolades as I recall.
I also think we bring in a goal keeper, with the loss of AK, Miller needs a backup. Plus with the unfortunate loss of Jensen, I expect another recruit to be added to this 17 class, perhaps from across the pond.
In the midst of a ratings-related research project I'm doing, I ran across something interesting: this year, FSU had an ARPI drop in the vicinity of 0.05 from last year; and they had a similar, slightly smaller, drop in 2010. I don't attribute any particular significance to those two drops, it's just sort of interesting -- along the lines of, these things happen now and then.
There is already a GK in and training. There will also be a 3rd keeper coming in the Fall. Elin has not returned- there are no plans for her to return as of yet.
