Blue & Gold

Interesting. I do hope leaving Buchtel was of Matt's own volition. I thought he was doing a great job there and was a perfect fit for the Griffins. If anyone has any inside knowledge of Matt's situation at Buchtel (including the strange Livingston situation last summer) please DM me.

WOW! ??

I'm much more familiar with football recruiting, so I've got a potentially stupid question. I see a lot of 2-star recruits, but with our soccer program being a sincere national power, shouldn't we be signing 4 & 5-star players?

Tyriq Mack, CB, 6'1", San Francisco CC.  HIs tape looks really good.

Got our first verbal of the class of '21 and it's a good one! Hudl profile

I'm already chomping at the bit for next season but we've got 6 and a half months to wait

He looks like he could be Jimmal Ball's brother. Lol

To have a perfectly even schedule I guess it'd have to be 22 games?

1. ACC 2. Big Ten 3. Big-12 4. Pac-12 5. SEC 6. Dayton

+1. We still don't have a piece to plug into Riak's spot.

I'd love to start beating UD & Xavier for recruits. Have we offered him?

Marshall definitely looks more like a W than a PF. The defensive capabilities of our wings could be amazing with Dawson (who moves like a gazelle), Dailey & now Marshall. I still think we need to sign one more ready to contribute JUCO F in the 6-8 range. Currie is our tallest player at 6'9" and then Ali is currently our only other player taller than 6'7". And Ali really doesn't seem like a natural banger.

He's athletic This 1-minute, 58-second video will give us more information on Jermain Marshall than the Beacon Journal will give us over the next 3 years.

I think he has a bad back & his days of playing competitive ball are prematurely behind him

Sorry about the poor wording of my post. I didn't mean to say he'd be playing next season. I just meant that LePear will be a positive upperclassman & be cheering from the bench. Watching LePear on the bench is a lot of fun - I think he'd make a great coach one day. Love that guy.

Whoops! I did. Thank you! (Since edited.)
