Dub Narcotic Posted December 9, 2015 Author Share Posted December 9, 2015 Really think this player can have a good pro career. Hopefully the Louisville rumours are true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think his move to LB this year put a hamper on his development. Especially because of the fact that he went to Wilmington the previous year, and performed well in the very few games (even scoring). Then next year the coach tells you you're a LB. Hopefully he rebounds from this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stryker911 Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Was wondering if anyone has any idea what the chances are of him moving up a level. I know it was only one game, but he played well against a good team and played ahead of a few established MLS players so wonder if any of them will take a look at him.

Northvansteve Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Looked like a young Patrice Bernier in a lot of ways. Big body in the middle of the field but can move. Solid defensively, smart about when joining the attack. Some of his passes were a little off or a little too hard but overall showed that he can play at a higher level.

Dominic94 Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 I thought he got better as the game went on. hopefully he plays in MLS soon as I think he'll need a higher level to improve. Obinna and Levi Oakey 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Diego Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 If he improves his passing he'll become a really nice player. Has a lot of qualities that coaches look for, especially in terms of winning and keeping the ball. yomurphy1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BearcatSA Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Reminded me of Kevin Harmse out there with his skill set, athleticism and very specific role. Not sure I'm seeing the upside others are seeing but perhaps he can use this as a springboard to another pro level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, one important part of his potential are his feet, because when combined with his strength and athleticism, it makes for a great package. Compare him to a player like Charlie Trafford, who is a few years older sure, but I don't think he is as good on the ball as Kaye is. It's not just ability on the ball, I think he has good vision as well, it's just that his execution is too inconsistent for the international level. You can make those mistakes in the USL, but not here. Like everyone, I hope an MLS team takes a chance on him, because I do think he has the potential to be a "Tony Tchani" level player in MLS, with perhaps a little more of an attacking nature. apbsmith 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keegan Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 I wasn't high on his performance as others. Appreciated that he wound up on loose balls a few times to start a counter but never really had a significant impact and there were a few time he left us frustrated. Not sure about his selection, he has potential but I'd drop him for Johnson for the knockouts in a heartbeat. Really though, how is a guy who can't start in usl in this squad? Puzzling.

His start in yesterday's match was less surprising to me than the fact he was included in the squad at all. I suspect OZ had a very specific job in mind for that position and Kaye had the physical attributes for it. I wouldn't be surprised, even if we play a game or two beyond the group stage, that those are his only minutes of the tournament.

Bison44 Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 I think Kaye playing alright (not great but he didnt embarass anyone) goes to show what a player can do when he gets his chance surrounded with talent and good coaching. Les face it, if he started a few years ago with Straith, Issey, Simeon Jackson, playing Floro ball he would have had a hard time of it. Arfield is a beast, Hoilet and Davies are playing as well as any winger since Josh Simpson. So Kaye just had to worry about his own little piece of the puzzle and had Arfield and Piette cleaning up any mistakes he made. I dont want to take a nice game at the gold cup and project that into a miraculous transformation. He needs to go back to Louisville (where he doesnt play much let alone start) keep working and build on this nice showing on a big stage. apbsmith, jpg75, Free kick and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keegan Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Exactly, it's not like we won 3 0 and every player played out of their skin. It was a good performance by the team as a whole but it doesn't mean some players weren't up to par as others. He wasn't the worst player for us, that was probably Jackson Hamel but we can do better.. just imagine Johnson in his spot. jpg75, Free kick and Ruffian 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't have been surprised that his first minutes were probably going to be in the final minutes of the FG match but OZ had to use a sub on Borjan.

As for Kaye, I am glad he got a run out. He made some mistakes but he def was not atrocious, no doubt the physical attributes are there. I honestly don't give up on players anymore until they are ~25-27 and I agree with what OZ said he def has the potential for a much higher ceiling. I hope OZ showing that he has faith in him allows him to land somewhere where he can get regular minutes at a competitive level. Even if it a 18-36 month project, because of the potential ceiling. I could see 12-18 months of starting and and getting regular USL minutes, followed by a jump to MLS. I honestly don't see that to be an impossible goal and I hope he puts his head down and this opportunity has given him the confidence and desire to do just that. All the best Kaye, cheering for ya!
