  1. At this point I'm not sure what I want most out of the summer transfer window... The popular thought is a true 9 or at least a DP forward. However, I just don't like the Besler/Romaña combo in anything other than looking at their physicality. Tough call for management to make. That said, converting more chances into goals can cure a multitude of ills. My hope is we take a pass at Nico Lopez from Tigres, or pay up and poach some Brazilian goal scorer with great control, Claudinho maybe and use him in tandem with Dominguez up front
  2. The second or third angle from the TV replay really looked like he could have body blocked the ball if his initial positioning was fully inside the goal post. This also brings to light how poor Romaña has been in the air, giving up two easy set piece goals against the Rapids and now Sporting
  3. Wolff's inexperience really showed tonight. Should have subbed Ring well prior to the red card but he held out with the idea of reaching to KC's subs. Of course, all that goes out the window when you go a man down, at which point he makes a further mistake subbing off Cecilio. The back line is a weakness but adding more bench defenders won't make it any stronger. Keeping a player like Dominguez on is important to keep and make something of possession when you do get it, and he's the team's best dribbler by far. Keeping the ball just a bit longer and maybe drawing a few more KC fouls keeps the pressure off the defense better than Cascante or whomever. Berhalter also inexplicably was way off to the lateral side of the near post during the corner goal, where his only job is to cover the inside of the near post. Shocking from a coaches son
  4. If only Tuscaloosa could lure a Gigafactory and a meat-headed podcaster to set up shop then Alabama could really start luring in top flight talent
  5. I actually do think Alexis can give quality minutes year one, after seeing the spring game live. He got some awful balls thrown his way but he really stood out to me. Worthy has a lot of catching up to do but he gives the offense another dimension that we expected, on paper, to get from Smith. Maybe he can land at Johns Hopkins and captain their lacrosse team or something. T.O. and Whitt round out the guys that should be able to stretch defenses without regular drops. Juan Davis, Gunnar Helm could both see a good number of balls thrown their way as well, and I would have no problem with that whatsoever. Dixon and Washington likely remain part time options, imo.
  6. very good first half, with the exception of Hoesen, everybody looks tuned in
  7. Thing is Card forced fewer throws and took care of the ball better than Thompson, without the supposed "1s" around him. Casey looked about the same as vs Colorado, except Jamison actually held on to the pick six unlike the CU db that had the ball bounce off his chest. I don't see how that equates Casey to Klubs and Card to Ewers
  8. Don't forget Pereira, also Ring quite solid
  9. Cooking and cleaning? What kind of demographic are you envisioning?
  10. He's already heavier than 230 and when O'Neal starts dunking on your ability to separate, well... That's what Worthy and (maybe) WRX are for. Banks can be a similar body to Tuihalamaka, without the Polynesian super powers Rather have Tuihalamaka, personally
  11. TFB mentioned drops being an issue. Marcus Washington is probably a big contributor to that issue if past appearance on the field is an indicator
  12. I don't love the throwing motion either, but I guess he gets results. I'm starting to like Nelson more and more for '23
  13. Considering horns down is pretty much the OU hand sign, why do we care he's doing it as an OU commit? I have more issue with a recruit committing to Ohio State and doing the horns down than I do with a sooner doing it
  14. Between TMac and CJ Williams I hope we press TMac more. I also like that he hasn't been forecasted for any school yet. Seems wide open
