Another player added to the club: Steven Pinau, (26) has played overseas in France (Clermont FC and Bayonne FC), Italy (Genoa FC 2008-2012) and Scotland (Hibernean FC). He scored 12 times in 29 matches with Bayonne.
Lots of recent college kids trying to fill out the roster. It looks like Lilly has signed the core of the squad with somewhat experienced players. Some of these trialists should end of being decent players. The main concern/unknown seems to be the lack of professional experience in the goal. McCarthy, John who is signed is right out of college Of the other three others, only one has professional experience, that being Brandon Miller, who saw very little time last season. But I think that at least of paper there should be more goals than last season.

1st Preseason match ends 0-0 vs Syracuse University. The Rhinos used 22 players, two complete teams. Lilly really seems to be giving lots of touches to the trialists. Next match is Sunday against Binghamton University. Another little tidbit, from a group that that runs a Rev Players recalled from Rochester for an MLS gameday 18: 1 Brian: OVER. I think we'll see the Revs utilize the affiliation more this year now that they've got a firmer grasp on what it entails. Justin: EXACTLY (push). Who knows. Sean: UNDER. A deeper squad across the board means the Revolution won’t have to recall anyone who gets sent to Rochester in an emergency situation. I would love to see the players stay in Rochester all season. http://nesoccertoday.com/?p=24257
Jordan Allen (Aquinas) played this weekend for RSL. http://www.democratandchronicle.com...-mls-debut-for-real-salt-lake-soccer/6229501/

Fury at Rhinos, 1-1 at halftime and ONLY TWO DEGREES at Sahlen stadium https://twitter.com/OttawaFuryFC
Being that the tweet was made from an Ottawa fan, that would be in Celsius temp... so 2 C degrees converts to roughly 35 F......and that would be about yesterday's temp in ROC...still cold..lol

Here is an interesting blog post. What if Charlie Davies was loaned to Rochester? http://www.thebentmusket.com/2014/3...harlie-davies-loan-rochester-rhinos-pros-cons
http://www.pennlive.com/sports/index.ssf/2014/03/usl_pros_pittsburgh_riverhound_1.html At least the Rhinos are not in this situiation.

http://www.thebentmusket.com/revolu...acar-diallo-release-danny-earls-tyler-bellamy Usually this guy is pretty good, but not this one. Danny Earls was released a while ago. He had a tryout with Sporting KC.
Three more signings: http://boxscorenews.com/rochester-rhinos-add-three-to-squad-p77883-68.htm Defender Tony Walls Midfielder Johnny Mendoza Defender Babacar Diallo Looks like Vu will get the start up top when the season begins.
