I think she hits on the bottom line for me, as I have mentioned before.......No matter what label you try to put on it, it all comes down to the quality of the education, and the graduates that it produces. That's where the investment needs to be, and that's what raises your profile as an academic institution.
USMNT vs Guatemala friendly (USA 4 -0 final) DeAndre Yedlin's quick cross found Guatemala's Carlos Castrillo, who headed into the back of the net for an own goal. http://www.ussoccer.com/stories/2015/07/03/19/40/150703-mnt-v-gua-chandler-goal (Yedlin with the assist).
I haven't thought of that until now. By not addressing it this year, I take it the staff sees Big Dog able to hold down the starting spot for a season. I hope they're right. Regardless, its an absolute need in the next recruiting class.
Emmanuel Olojakapoke is 6'8" and Peter Agba is 6'7". I do agree we need to be looking at a 5 to fill Pat's shoes after graduation. I've gotten used to having 7'0" Zeke, 6'11" Pat & 6'10" 300 lb. Big Dog.
