El Diego Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 Drafted by Colorado at #4 overall. Bad team so he should have opportunities, but I can't say I trust Chris Armas. However, Armas is not shy on playing young players. Xavier., Canuckia, canuckgbp and 9 others 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soccerpro2 Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 It's sad that my first reaction is that I'm glad he isn't going to Toronto where no doubt his development would stall. Although I'm not sure Colorado is ideal, either. We'll see. Borjans Sweatpants, YorkRegionFan and PegCityCam 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I'm not sure Colorado is ideal, either. We'll see. Apparently, he preferred to avoid a TFC selection, believing that they don’t offer the best path to his development. He has turned down some early interest in Europe to ink his Generation Adidas contract. He also joined HFX to be with Ghelsar, his coach at Vaughan. Gheisar described the move as something to prepare him for the next steps of his career. Prior, Stewart-Baynes had scored 17 goals in 14 appearances for the Vaughan Azzurri U-19 side. https://northerntribune.ca/2024-mls-superdraft-kimani-stewart-baynes/ johnyb, PegCityCam, Xavier. and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masster Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 The article also says that NFL wide receiver N'Keal Harry, who was a first round bust, is his brother. Hopefully the same doesn't happen, just in a different sport. Unnamed Trialist 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acid-Tone Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 That N'Keal Harry was ever a first round pick is more of an indictment of the drafting skills of GM Bill Belichick than it is of Harry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InglewoodJack Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Scored against Montreal in a friendly yesterday- goal at around 2:20 https://x.com/coloradorapids/status/1756712203833475278?s=46&t=spIaqlQfufAO3HreB1455Q narduch, aredding77, Approve My Account Pls and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InglewoodJack Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Mentioned in Tom Bogert’s rundown of young players who showed promise during preseason. Not much to say other than he’s making a case to be featured in the Rapids lineup. Cool to see him get a shout.

YorkRegionFan Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Hopefully he can lead the U20s into the next stage of the Concacaaf U20 tournament. The lack of prep for the tournament is worrisome. Hoping that talent triumphs and the U20s can advance. Corazon, Olympique_de_Marseille, Ivan and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny that considering the names who weren’t called up to the team under the guise of “need more fitness/preparing for the club season”, I’d actually prefer that KSB stays with coloradi and tries to break into the lineup. A lot of team changes means he’s got a good chance to make a great first impression, so being with them from game 1 would be better for his development and better for our national team in the long run. Not that I’m not excited to see what he can do against his own age cohort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The question is whether we have enough time to gel as a team to overcome a Trini side playing at home in the last match.

Corazon Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 (edited) Getting his debut today, coming on in the 82nd minute. https://x.com/coloradorapids/status/1771738879973867910?s=46&t=tKRu86Vea8ViJ1G0Nj6cIA Showed some explosive speed and had great play by beating his man beautifully down the outside. I would say generally positive short cameo for his debut. Edited March 24 by Corazon GasPed, phresh, toontownman and 11 others 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueseeka Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 Stewart-Baynes first assist in MLS. Nice pass on the header. Perfect spot for Mihailovic to score.

Shway Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 I can't remember who said he was short in the one of the u20 match threads, and I said "well he's 5'9, so he's not thaaat short"..... ....but I don't know, every time I see him I think there's no way he's 5'9. He's at most 5'7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanadaFan123 Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 So ridiculous that Colorado 2 is in the US Open Cup lol.

They just want to control every competition they play in. Even the Leagues Cup is a direct threat to the Concacaf Champions Cup, and (IMO) the only reason MLS teams are still in the CCC is because Concacaf/FIFA won't allow them to withdraw.

The results have actually been pretty embarrassing for them too. You want people to believe your glorified reserve league is better competitition than USLC and you can't even beat teams from NISA or USL1. It's part of the reason that I don't consider playing in Next Pro as professional experience Edited April 4 by narduch CanadaFan123 and Shway 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
