Yohan Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 The fact that he's been given a GA deal means at least one team gave a firm indication that they are interested in picking this kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a lot of pressure on a young player for a very short stint. yep. he's been invited to the combine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivan Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 I am surprised that Reid got the CGA contract, although somewhat pleasantly. I thought the guy had disappeared, hadn't even got U20 or U18 calls. I wonder who makes the CGA call - is Devos involved? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big_M Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 (edited) 55. He played the second half, first as a striker and then behind Wright. Edited January 9, 2017 by Big_M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shermanator Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Reid has been drafted by FC Dallas with the #40th overall pick. IMO, that's a great place for Reid to land. johnyb, toontownman and lazlo_80 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shermanator Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 So, I imagine he will play with OKC Energy this year? I believe they are Dallas' affiliate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miel de maple Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 (edited) video of chat with fc dallas technical director about chances of draftees being signed.. looks like a slim chance for any non-defence spots but at least it sounds like Reid is impressing people at preseason (at least according to interviewer). skip to about -10min mark Edited January 31, 2017 by miel de maple Dub Narcotic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shway Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 scored a goal against river plate... heard he's been performing good. https://mobile.twitter.com/fcdallas/status/829704764812357632 David C., johnyb, Ruffian and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macksam Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 (edited) I watched a highlite video of his. I see why he was drafted at 17. The boy's got the mix of skill, speed, agility and technical ability that only Brampton seems to breed in English speaking North America. I think the USSF might lobby for the United States Army to set up a base here to take advantage of this.

I believe he isn't eligible for the U17s, but will still be eligible for the U20s next cycle (2 years from now). So I assume he just isn't good enough at the moment to make the team?

Shway Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 2 hours ago, Ruffian said: Is he eligible for any other nations? Yup %100 for sure Jamaica, don't know about anything else. His dad used to coach Caledon Soccer Club back in 2000-2008. Reallllyy good coach that always wanted me to come to his team, but my parents couldn't justify it in taking me from Ajax to Caledon. Also he had a brother named Saijah.....and he was probably one of the best strikers in Ontario for a long time. Led the OSL in goals every year (think he played CSL too)...all in all he should've been somewhere like a lot of players I know...but just didn't go away to school and that was essentially his only opportunity like a lot of players I know.

shermanator Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 IIRC Reid was at a U-20 identification camp a few years ago when he was tearing up L1O. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shway Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 He's not our typical Canadian style hold up striker, is why he's probably been overlooked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
