Twice won NCAA player of the week this year (his sophomore year), led Akron in scoring and to the FInal Four. Has played for Canada at the U-18 level. Has been tabbed as a GA signing by topdrawersoccer for the 2016 draft and is #9 overall on their big board.

FC_Hali Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 (edited) Ives has Laryea rated as the 3rd overall prospect for the Superdraft. "No player in the country boosted their stock more in 2015 than Laryea, who emerged as the best playmaker in the country to help Akron make an impressive run to the College Cup semifinals. The Canadian midfielder is a deft passer, serious quickness and the physical attributes to contribute early on in his pro career despite having just finished his sophomore season. Has yet to sign a Generation adidas deal." http://sbisoccer.com/2015/12/sbi-mls-draft-big-board-version-1-0 Edited December 17, 2015 by FC_Hali yomurphy1 and youllneverwalkalone 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackdude Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Question is will he be a ga signing? I wouldn't be surprised if the fact that he's Canadian and had only one good season to be against him. Larin was highly touted two years ago, but he didn't get a ga deal then, but got one the following year. I know that they are two different players, but I'm sure that it has to weigh in the balance if he gets it or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baulderdash77 Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 They had offered Larin a GA deal as a freshman, he just wanted to come back. They've given GA deals to several non Americans. If they think Laryea deserves in then he will get one. I think he's a borderline GA player, I hope he gets one and then plays for a US based team. The Canadian MLS teams have no room for him to ply meaningful minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub Narcotic Posted December 19, 2015 Author Share Posted December 19, 2015 The GA deals are determined by clubs indicating interest in a player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FC_Hali Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Most of the other top GA prospects this year are non-Americans, which probably works against Laryea. However many of them are far from slam dunk signings for MLS, which could open the door for him (Danladi may try Europe, Yaro wants to finish his degree + pursue humanitarian & political work in his native Ghana, etc.).

masster Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Ives says that Laryea did not have a good first day at the combine. http://www.goal.com/en-us/news/1110/major-league-soccer/2016/01/09/19152242/mls-combine-day-1-observations?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazlo_80 Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 I love Ives cause he's one of the few MLS reporters that pays attention to the draft but he's even gone on the record talking about how much of a weird event the combine is. Tesho and Bekker certainly benefited from a strong showing in the past, but given his GA contract Laryea is still a lock to go somewhere in the first round.

TRM Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Sigma FC strike again. Keep it up guys, we need more Congrats to Laryea for the GenA deal. Just the salary cap consideration will get him a top 10 pick and hopefully with a team that will utilize him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Was tipped likely out of pure laziness than anything else..to go to TFC in the first mock draft.

Havoc88 Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 ^ Ha that is funny but actually not that much of a stretch. Sigma has a good relationship with RSL and if Cassar stays on their system works with Akron so it would be a fit. I could see Orlando picking him for obvious reasons, and maybe SJ. Sidenote: Yura Movsisyan back to RSL and if Richie went there that would be a good situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shermanator Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 I think Armen Bedakian is out to lunch if he thinks Laryea will be available for TFC to take him at #9. Plus, that would be a terrible place for Laryea to end up IMO. https://twitter.com/ArmenBedakian/status/687098829733154816 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some teams will sign players not on the Combine (IE Simonin), so draft predictions don't mean that much. Getting picked high doesn't necessarily means you suck. Teams have different priorities.

Havoc88 Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 I don't get the "counts as international" argument (well I do, but if a player is good I really don't think it applies). He's also GA, so in many ways that cancels out the negative impact from using an int slot. I also agree - after Bekker/Welshman, I don't think Sigma are too keen on any of their players ending up at TFC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
