    Can only speak for the PA kid. The answer would be apparently not. He is not on his DA team as a DP or FT. He doesn't even practice with the team. I'm not sure you get better in the BE or ACC through the level of talent he has displayed thus far. But again, that accounts for only one kid.

    Switching conferences isn't going to fix the futility of Pitt's program.

    The last three coaches above also "excited", guess the masses want one coach to announce a class with "the recruits are just ok" or "we took whatever was left".

    Very interesting.

    He's supposed to be very good, though he'll obviously be one of the youngest players in college soccer.

    Curious to see how long he stays. Also curious that he opted for training with Wake rather than DCU's academy for the next year.

    Probably a smart move for him. The Bruins return all but LB Shawn Singh from their backline so he probably wasn't gonna play much.

    At 6-7, there's little doubt he has the size to play CB effectively, but does he have the pace and soccer smarts to get him in the right position and the ball skills to do enough with the ball once he wins it?

    His pedigree suggests he does. Not starting at UCLA doesn't mean he's a bad player - plenty of good talent struggles to play at UCLA and the incumbent Bruins starting backs (Matt Wiet, Joe Sofia, Pat Matchett) will likely end up in MLS.

    BTW, with that last name I'd have sworn he was Japanese-American. Guess I'm a little too narrow minded.
