Thanks for the info. Is she here this spring? Have you heard anything about additional transfers after the spring? TOS mod indicated there was one to come "a good one.". Anyway, having hope HP comes back is great IMO.
She is here. She is finishing up her last semester. She will graduate this spring. Brian is still looking for transfers. Probably not impact starters, more for depth.
Jenna rarely plays 10 for any NT she has been on. usually plays 6. Her first few years at FSU she played wide. Will be interesting to she where she plays and if her skills translate. I dont see her as a #10 at pro level. Set pieces not a given either
I was speaking of her time at FSU. She played the 10 in Tallahassee. Obviously in the pros her new coach can play her where she is needed. When you say set pieces not a given I assume that you mean that she may not take them for Gotham. I agree, again I was speaking of her time at FSU. She was great at taking them for the Noles.
Exactly where do you see Jenna playing at the pro level? Where did she play on YNTs? Your takes on FSU players and their prospects definitely tend to glass 1/2 to 3/4s empty. That includes takes on Jaelin Howell, Deyna Castellanos and Emily Madril as I recall. Are you glass half empty with UVA prospects?
Not sure. I said she often played CDM (#6). Any take that is not all positive can be taken that way. I just gave some facts. Place them in whatever context you want. I stand by any takes I have given on any player irrespective of the College they play for.
Well as someone that has watched Jenna closely, she excelled (at FSU) in the 10 position. Will that translate to the pros? I don't know. I don't watch NWSL. I catch USW and USMNT games occasionally, but my passion is FSU!
I watched her closely as well including National Team games from u-16 to U-23. I shared my observations. I dont know how it will translate to the pros either. I assumed the OP might find it interesting.
Outstanding player, Notre Dame will certainly miss her....any team would. I'm little surprised she didn't enter her name into the draft. Only thing I can think is that she wasn't liking what her agent was gathering as far as where she would end up. Rumor is she is headed to PSG. I would be curious to see what her contract is and how it compares to whatever athletic money / aid she was getting from ND. That school is pricey. Notre dame was already losing so much after last year, I didn't think they would be nearly the factor they were this year...this just makes it even tougher.
It is official that she signed with PSG. Korbin Albert to PSG through 2025 is official, that’s a really interesting one imo I look forward to seeing how she develops over there— Claire Watkins (@ScoutRipley) January 31, 2023
Good for her. The money is there now for top players, and she can always easily finish her degree and have it paid for if she wants to go into coaching after her playing career is over. If I had the choice of playing for PSG or having to fly all up and down the eastern seaboard while holding down 16 credit hours, I know which one I'd choose.
Good Luck to her! If you want to be the best player you can be, getting into a world class environment where you can really learn needs to happen as soon as possible. Now that the remuneration is there for some, no brainer. The NWSL is at a disadvantage to a handful of Clubs when it comes to players with big potential who have not been given the WNT hall pass.
With Lily's addition FSU now has 23 players (not counting Heather Payne). FSU will add a backup GK and that will likely be it. The team is almost set.
That jives with the info I got on another site that spoke of Heather possibly being back and of at least one other transfer (a good one). She seems like a good depth piece to me. Like you say, a GKer and good heath and who knows. Good find!
Interesting Huff is listed as a forward... with some VERY talented peers. Glad they will be getting experience out there. I think Alagoa was called up for Portugal as well. Not sure about other internationals.
Where will Farkas fit in, and what about another goalkeeper? I am pleased with the direction of the program, Pensky followed a legend and he has done well to keep the standard as is. I saw many soccer players at the softball game tonight in Tally, the camaraderie is evident.
Farkas will likely provide depth off the bench. They know that they need another GK. I expect an announcement on that front.
Beyond excited to announce my verbal commitment to play for @FSUSoccer ! Huge thanks to everyone who believed in me and made this possible! Excited for this next chapter! #gonoles #fsu 💛❤️ pic.twitter.com/0FEFcelNGK— Emma Kirlin (@EmmaKirlin18) February 24, 2023
Well not very highly rated, but in soccer I suspect ratings are inconsistent. Roque and Justus were rated highly I believe.
FSU played Gotham today. Is this at FSU or IMG? But WAIT… there’s more! pic.twitter.com/dwj7h8sNLn— NJ/NY Gotham FC (@GothamFC) February 25, 2023
