Sorry this is kinda fun to look back so I'm gonna slightly hijack your thread and pick a player from each class year (not including last year, too early to tell):
2012: Jalen Mills
2011: Terrance Magee
2010: Alfred Blue
2009: Morris Claiborne
2008: Lavar Edwards, Patrick Lonergan (tie)
2007: Josh Jasper
2006: Kelvin Sheppard

I don't really think of a 5-star elite national recruit (Dupre) as having the most upside.
I will go with Chark. Quiet recruit with one other big offer (Oklahoma State) but I liked what I saw of his talents. At first I did not care for his offer because I don't follow cenla much at all but he won me over. He has skills.

A lot of these goofballs that keep talking about him being the next Morris Claiborne will be the same ones ripping him to shreds in a few years if he doesn't show out. Its all kinda silly and detached from the reality of the situation.

I love how when anything like this happens people run to post that Europe is better than MLS.
Thanks for that. Good to know.

I really wish people would stop comparing this kid to Morris Claiborne. He is not Morris Claiborne.
I'm not expecting much but I'm rooting for him.

re: MLS and Beckham have a "special announcement" at 9am Wednesday

Miami is an iffy sports market no doubt. There is real risk here.
Still, this is a unique situation. I think Beckham has a chance to draw star power to the club. But where I really think he has an opportunity to tie this club into Miami's culture and bond with the city is through establishment of a first class academy with direct involvement by him.
I'm looking forward to the process.

So I'm guessing you wouldn't want to invest in Beckham's ownership group?
BTW, regarding colors...the scarfs in the videos show black and blue. No idea if that is official.

The geographical reference is meant to be taken sarcastically you map nerds.
Trust me, most people in Miami view the Orlando crowd and the Tallahassee crowd the same. It's a stereotype....that's the point. If you want to get technical, not all Miami is glitzy and rich either. I guess I should go examine the demographical statistics.
Rant off.

This club will have star power in the ownership and on the pitch. European and South American players will want to play and live in Miami. A badass stadium will be built in the city by the port. A top academy will be established. People will love this club and will love to hate this club. And a great derby will begin between Miami and Orlando...the rich star power elites from the glitzy coast against the blue collar, down home folks from the panhandle.
So shall it be.
So shall it be.

So you believe recruits stayed away from lsu because they logged onto the td recruiting board, saw the negative posts, and were like "im not going there, when i can go to another big college football school without negative messageboards"?
Amazingly, some do actually believe this rubbish.

I helped LSU out a lot with recruiting through my posts on here. I expect a phone call from Les or Frank any time now.
re: Where do you rank MLS in the world?
Posted by GABlueDog on 2/3/14 at 9:08 pm
I think the MLS is roughly the equivalent of the Championship. The better MLS teams...the SKC, Galaxy, RSL, Dynamo, Red Bulls...are on par with the better Championship teams...the Leicester, QPR, Burnley, Derby County. And the MLS bottom feeders...the DC United, Chivas, etc...are around the level of the Championship trolls...the Barnsley, Millwall, etc.

I'm sure there is another Asian Bond villain type out there looking to buy a club.

I'll repost what I posted in here over a week ago:
People questioned me over having Gage at 100% and Kelly at 40%. Everyone should know now to never question me.
:lol:
Joking. This is a crapshoot at best. I've never seen a recruiting year like this one before. Ever.
Don't expect a huge bang going into NSD. We need to just try and get Dupre to stop the bleeding that has been going since 1/2.
quote:
My two cents regarding your op...
DB Adoree' Jackson - 25%
WR Malachi Dupre - 50%
DE Lorenzo Carter - 25%
LB Kenny Young - 50%
OT Derrick Kelly - 40%
DT Travonte Valentine - 90%
WR Emanuel Porter - 50%
ATH Russell Gage - 100%
DE Malik McDowell - 1%
DT Trey Lealaimatafao - 40%
Godchaux - 90% he stays
Clark - 60% he stays
Williams - 75% he stays
I expect us to sign <25.

Andy Carroll's red card against Swansea.
Shameful
I am not a Carroll fan but he had been owning Swansea all day. Flores climbs on top of his back and falls over him as Carroll pivots his body to try and throw him off. Now, he does swing his arm around and slightly graze the top of Flores' head...to which Flores collapses to the Earth and rolls around like he is on fire.
Review it, rescind Carroll's red card, and give Flores a one-match ban for diving.
IMHO
