Soccerpro Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Matheson doesn't have pro potential anymore. It makes no sense to sign a player without it. He was never even a starter at UConn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hodgkiss Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Matheson doesn't have pro potential anymore. It makes no sense to sign a player without it. He was never even a starter at UConn. Interesting. So you have been following him playing at UCONN? Can you elaborate on why he has been considered to have lost his pro potential? I understood his lack of playing time was due to injury. A torn ACL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmonte Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 ^While I understand the point you are trying to make about why he never started at UConn, not knowing much about Matheson, I would wonder that basically losing a season to such a career affecting injury would probably make a lot of high level pro clubs nervous about signing him as well, no?

masster Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Yesterday was apparently 'signing day' for US colleges. I found a list online of all the signings from American MLS team academies, but I didn't find anything from Vancouver or Montreal who play in the USSDA. Does anybody know anything?

Was a Whitecaps residency player but dropped for some reason. Big, strong, mobile central defender. Whitecaps may regret not keeping him in their pool.

That is why I expected some info to be released on where they will be going. Like the other USSDA squads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dayonn Harris (Penn State), Kamal Miller (Syracuse), Dayne St. Clair (Maryland), Lucas Puntillo & Kai Olguin (Robert Morris) I will offer this info - I saw these guys play at the Sigma showcase, and as a comparison to Sigma who have turned into a real NCAA talent producer, I thought a few of the Vaughan kids had overall a better raw athletic skill set. Sigma has some very good players too that I think will end up at top programs, but their difference is they develop them under a specific system and set of techniques that is attractive to certain programs and pro clubs who value this (i.e. 4-3-3, 1v1 abilities, technical passing etc). I am not surprised some of them are off to top school as they were impressive, and I'd expect to hear about some of the Sigma kids in this age group soon as well.

El Hombre Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Who is our best prospect in NCAA right now. I am sure we have nothing like Cyle Larin last year. No one like Larin, but there are some good prospects out there: Richie Laryea (Akron): Played 20 games last year as a freshman for Akron which is generally a pretty good program. I think he's mostly a defensive midfielder, but not 100% sure on that. Kwame Awuah (UConn): Started all 19 UConn games as a sophomore. He's played both midfield and on the back line for UConn. Kevon Black (Duke): Played the second most minutes on the team as a freshman last year. There are others like Sergio Camargo, Brody Huitema, Chris Nanco and Quinton Duncan who all did okay last year and are all relatively young (except maybe Camargo). It might be worth mentioning that Larin's sophmore year last year was actually nothing to write home about when compared to his freshman year, so you never know how some of these players will turn out.
