Congrats to Tim Ream...he had one hell of a career and I wish him luck at the combine. Good kid, too...compared to Angus and a couple other of these jack-o$$'s that have came and went the past 4 years...he was able to combine talent and character....I wish him nothing but the best.

 

Nope not Martin either....

Merry Christmas to all.

Tim Ream: Exceptional kid, hardworker, good left foot, he will do well at the next level.
Advice to him is to work on his speed & strength this off season. Interesting to see how he will be used next year and years to come (Left-mid, back, etc.)


Mike Roettgers: Big strong athletic kid. Will make some noise up front. Tireless work-rate. Blue collar forward and can complement a more crafty forward.

The current group seem to have good character. I don't know much about the incoming class but it will be interesting to see how they buy-in to what the previous class have shown.

I am optomistic about next season...one game at a time, secure tournament, then hello NCAA. It seems to fly by faster and faster the older you get.

 

Unless someone gets hurt or one or more of the MLS coaches wants to see them invited it probably won't happen. The spots are already set for the combine. http://web.mlsnet.com/news/mls_news.jsp?ymd=20091210&content_id=7792338&vkey=pr_mls&fext=.jsp That is not to say they will not play in the MLS. There are many opportunities to get in. Someone said Jarmillo was practicing with Real Salt Lake last summer so there is a posibility he will get called into pre-season camp.

 

ST...you are silly. Yea...lets not talk about what effects the program the most, the coach. Great idea. Ignorant are we?

 

Yes. Cannot face reality. I feel bad for him.

 

Did Keegan Smith ever have potential?

 

Tim Ream will be a good pro. Great talent. He is technical, big, fast and left footed which will help.

Yea he combined talent and character, most of the guys that are successful on the team have good character. But Ream whined just as much as anyone else about the coaches but you don't know that because you really do not know much about the players or coaches.

It amazes me how people can come on here and just through out things like that when they really do not have a clue what goes on.

 

It is hard to tell with incoming recruits what impact they are going to make because you just do not know how good they are. I personally have not looked at the class to much but who knows how good they will be. From what I heard they are not great just OK. But who knows.

Saying someone will be the next vedad is probably a huge mistake. That person is not coming to SLU anytime soon. You may see him at an ACC school, IU, or now Akron. He will not be at SLU as long as DD is still here.

But I will try and save you the embarrassment before you go saying Keegan Smith is the next Calum Angus or Josh Boemecke is the next Diriamondo or even talking about the 5 players in next years class that will never play and either transfer, quit, or get cut. I would just wait till next year to see who can really play.
