More like a lighter weight version of a James Beattie (Everton), perhaps. He's a very direct type player and doesn't have Noonan's range.
Agree. Looks like Buzz has put up his usual thought provoking list of candidates, which includes Rowland. www.3rddegree.net/thirdindex.cfm?page=article&show=1103
I was looking more along the lines of Nicol can develop him and he has the nose for goal the same way Noonan does.
Okay, I understand that "every thread in BigSoccer is sarcasm", BUT ... the fact that Chris Klein was had for a partial allocation is a pretty good indication that many folks are underestimating the value of the "P.A.". I think the Revs addressed their needs at forward in the regular draft. I would think they'd be looking at other positions in the supplemental (midfield, defense AND gk). Of the guys listed on 3rd degree, Daniel Wasson might be of interest for his versatility.
C'mon Bob, that's why I had the little smiley after my comment. But ... someone did post the list of most recent players that a PA was used on, and it wasn't exactly a Who's Who ... and all we have to go by is the past until we hear an actual name.
I'm a bit surprised at the lack of conjectural posts about tomorrows Supplamentral Draft. We have four picks. It will be interesting to see if SN et al can mine another Andy Dorman from whats left in the pool. I am aware that the Revs did ask for a non-combine player to be added to the pool after their mini-camp tryout so they do have some specific targets.
God, it's tough enough to post about our regular draft since in general the team does what no one expected it to. Conjecturing about this seems kind of pointless I guess.
Probably even more surprising, the conjecture ends up on a Dallas site. 3rddegree.net suggests the player you're referring to is a defender by the name of John Mariscalco, who's on the draft list. He was apparently a 4 year starter for Butler, a former U17 All-American, and All League/All Regional Selection in 2004. According to MLSnet.com, his older brother was drafted by Dallas in 2003. Looks like he's played at least 3 (and maybe 5) years in the PDL, the last 2 with Chicago Fire Reserves.
Nicol's comments in the Soccer New England article spoke to looking for some defense in the supplemental. From the list of draft eligible players on MLSNet, that would include: Player Affiliation Position Age Ht Wt City State Country Luis Aguilar San Francisco D 5'8 150 Palmdale CA USA Bryan Eisenbraun Ft. Lewis College D 6'0 150 Lakewood CO USA Miguel Guante Portland D 21 5'9 Fort Huachaca AZ USA Jordan Harvey UCLA D 21 5'11 170 Mission Viejo CA USA Chris Lancos Maryland D 21 6'1 175 Middletown NJ USA John Mariscalco Butler D 21 5'11 165 Dayton OH USA Trevor Mceachron Old Dominion D 22 6'2 180 Woodbridge VA USA John Queeley NC State D 22 6'2 177 Denver CO USA Greg Reece South Carolina D 21 6'3 190 Clemmons NC USA Dasan Robinson Dayton D 21 5'11 160 Elyria OH USA P.J. Scheufele Dartmouth D-M 22 5'11 160 Plymouth MA USA Darren Spicer Princeton D 22 5'11 170 Diamond Bar CA USA Daniel Wasson Tulsa M-D 21 5'9 175 Colorado Springs CO USA Matt Wieland Creighton D 22 6'0 165 Omaha NE USA I am removing these guys from our prospects because we don't have any YI slots left. Willis Forko Connecticut D 23 5'10 168 Houston TX Liberia Liam Girrard Denver D 21 5'10 165 Victoria Canada Anthony Noriega George Mason D 23 6'4 175 San Fernando Trinidad I would put McEachron, Wasson, Queeley, Scott and Mariscalco on Nicol's short list. Scheufele might end up a lat pick becuase he is a local guy.
Why remove them? We have at least one SI slot available, and we have already placed YI's in SI slots. Besides, YI slots can be traded for, and who knows, maybe one of our players will get a green card.
I'd leave them in. We don't have to be roster compliant until March 1 so why not burn a pick on one of them if we think he can help and has a shot at beating out one of our other SI/YI's
I like Mofo Moloi a kick-ass DMF from UCONN. With a name like that we just have to have him on our team.
And lets not forget that Avery John may well not be part of the team come opening day. He seems to be falling down the depth chart--and with his WC committments and SI status I'm betting he's either traded or cut loose onve SN sees what he's got after both drafts and spring training.
Sorry. Pat Scott is not on the draft list and was not invited to the combine, but 3rd Degree had him listed as a former teammate of Tony Lochhead. They led a 16 total goals against season in college. He may/may not be available.
Sure hope Coach Nicol has recovered from his "Burns Day Supper" tonight so he can be sharp and work some good old Rev Draft mojo tomorrow.
