Seems like he’s settling in...

 

I wonder if he could hold his own right now with the U19s.

 

Kind of crazy #'s popping with him. Damn exciting prospect if he has the size and athleticism, I get the sense that caveat seems to be the only concern with him (along with the reality that ages 15 or 16 through 20 are riven with trap doors and pitfalls that tend to eliminate 90-95% of prospect before they even reach professional status).

 

yeh.

bs has taught me that these numbers are most always efemeral at this stage. if they're near the same level after greater muscle & bone development, we start paying real attention.

(if he's currently doing this with smarts and skill against more physically equipped youths his age, it's a great portent.)

 

Agreed. It's always better to have a dominant stat line than not, but I don't think it means much at the U-17 level. We've seen so many guys who were amazingly productive at this level fizzle out. If he's doing the same thing with the U-19s in a year, I'll start to get more excited.

 

the only way you get a chance to prove you can do it against older kids and maybe even adults is to do it against kids your own age. rotundo ticking off that box abroad in a competitive environment is a start

Couple bangers in there

 

Looks a little too easy for him. Move him up to the U19s.

 

Yes i know, it’s U17 but that second goal was a golazo at any level. Keeper didn’t move a step.

 

have never seen a more effortless hattrick...its like hes not even trying lol

 

Third goal was my favorite. The way he opens his hips up was very good. Finish this year in u17 and move to u19 in January.
Kid looks interesting.

 

Not just U17, but preseason against the U19 side of a team in the 6th tier of german football (6th tier = amateur). Kid looks good, but I don't think this competition is any better yet than what he was facing in San Diego.

 

Yeah it is preseason. The U17 BL West opponents features Dortmund, Gladbach, Leverkusen, Koln, Düsseldorf, Bielefeld, Bochum, etc.

If he tears that up, move him to the U19’s during the winter break.

 

is there any way to pressure schalke to move him to forward/start a gofund me for a TON of meat and vegetables for this kid?

 

maybe ask Messi/Barca for the name of their doc who allegedly gave a young Messi some HGH.

 

I shall now institute a Rahbiefowlah drinking game policy wherein I take a shot of Jamo every time someone mentions Evan Rotundo is small.

 

i know other footballers with slight frames have found ways to override their physical limitations and play well beyond their physical size

 

all that showed is they COULDNT make him bigger...

 

Evan rotundo looks talented but he is small.







drink!

 

Dude do you EEEEEVEN know about Messi, finish the bottle

 

Gianfranco Zola, Veratti, Garrincha, Maradona, ...

Just like age, if you're good enough you're tall enough

 

Evan drew a penalty that was not converted in this weekend's game.
