Back to Basics Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 I'm thinking of keeping a post open for the next year to I.D. the Canadian Student athletes in the States and their college seasons. As some of them could potentially be in our next u-20 & u-23 cycles. With that being said before I can gather all the students that I can find in Division 1 soccer, I would just like to recieve some feedback about the idea and would others contribute. And do you feel the post is appropriate for Men's National Teams & Player forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back to Basics Posted June 11, 2009 Author Share Posted June 11, 2009 Well I'll start putting something together for this weekend hopefully I can capture all the players. I'm going to separate them into Rookie,Sophmore,Junior and Senior classes. So if anyone wants to iniate or help out it would be much appreciated. If anyone has the contacts for some of the players as well that would help and perhaps links to games as some of them are broadcasted on Skysports and local cable.
