fknbuflobo Posted December 18, 2015 Report Share Posted December 18, 2015 I suppose this is the most appropriate thread for this.Heard of Soccer By Ives? http://sbisoccer.com/2015/12/report-red-bulls-sign-four-college-based-homegrown-talentsIt appears that Adam Najem has declined offer by NYRB and is considering offers from Europe.I'd say there is an outside chance that he returns for 2016 season (and Fall graduation). Best news heard all week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fknbuflobo Posted December 18, 2015 Report Share Posted December 18, 2015 Ives Galarcep@SoccerByIves46m46 minutes ago#RBNY wasn't messing around on Homegrown front. I'm told they made an offer to Akron's Adam Najem that was turned down (he's eyeing Europe). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zip_ME87 Posted January 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2016 Update on GA class from SBIhttp://bit.ly/1ReIcfj4- RICHIE LARYEA, AkronHas been offered a Generation adidas deal, but has yet to sign a deal. If Yaro and Danladi bolt to Europe, MLS could push harder to ensure Laryea signs. He’s a sure-fire Top 5 pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malonepioneer12 Posted January 2, 2016 Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 I saw this earlier today. Sounds like he will go pro but maybe we will get lucky and have him for another year. Has anyone heard anything on Adam Najem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zip_ME87 Posted January 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 According to SBI, looks like a good chance we get confirmation on Richie's status today: Ives Galarcep Verified account @SoccerByIves MLS should unveil initial Generation adidas class today. Yaro, Harrison, Laryea, Holness, Herbers, Tarbell all done or close. #MLSDraft9:30 AM - 4 Jan 2016 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yazan07 Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 Long time no see! I was doing some reading about the draft and thought I would pop my head in. Looks like Souders was on the combine list but is not anymore. Wondering if that means Columbus is signing him, or if he has opted to try his luck overseas rather than heading to MLS. Also of note: Jared is coaching one of the combine teams with (surprise) a Timbers coach as his assistant http://www.mlssoccer.com/post/2016/01/03/rosters-named-2016-adidas-mls-player-combine-ft-lauderdale 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just coming on here to post this and was pleasantly surprised to see you had. I knew Jared was going to coach one of the teams. Happy to see he's teamed with a Timbers' assistant. I do love our continued connection to the current MLS Cup Champions. More promising Timbers' Academy players, please.I'm hoping that the Crew claimed Andrew as a Homegrown, but I have no information. I've been wondering why he wouldn't be considered a homegrown for them, though. Andrew Souders, Wil Trapp, and Chad Barson on the same team would be sweet.Edit: After posting this above, I saw on twitter that supposedly Crew said on Dec 11th they weren't offering Andrew a contract.

fknbuflobo Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 Supposing he wants a pro career, I will be surprised if Souders does NOT find his way onto an MLS roster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
