    Anyone know if this kid, a 6-5 freshman forward for UC Irvine, is related to the Hall of Fame Raiders CB of the same name?

    Just curious.

    The kid's having a pretty good freshman year. Part-time stater for a Top Ten team, he entered tonight's game with 3 goals and an assist and according to matchtracker he scored the first goal in tonight's game against UC Davis.

    And, you can't ignore the height. Could he be an American Peter Crouch?

    I know Lester the freshman at Cal-Irvine and his dad too, and I'm pretty sure that they aren't related to the former Raiders' player Lester Hayes ... Here is some video of Lester from last year when he was playing for DeMatha Catholic High School in Maryland (DeMatha went 24-0-0 and ended up #2 / 3 in the nation ... Lester had 22 goals). Lester scores a goal about 1:55 or 2:00 minutes into this video: [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PgbblwjqDVg"]DeMatha Soccer - WCAC Championship 2010 Highlights - DeMatha vs Gonzaga - YouTube[/ame]

    Thanks.

    Do you know if he's a 92 or a 93? If it's the latter, I'd like to see him given a look from the U20 team.

    Lester is a '93 (at least that's what is says online).
