Here’s 10 minutes full of reasons why Nesbitt will be starting from day 1. We have guys that can do 1 or 2 things as well as Jordan Nesbitt does it, but I’m not sure we have anyone who can do EVERYTHING as well as Jordan Nesbitt does them. Will there be a learning curve stepping up to D1 competition? Of course. But his talent is undeniable. He’s going to terrorize the A10.

No offense intended, but not sure you can use TJ not taking guys off the dribble as reason not to start him, when you’re plan on starting Jimerson instead. So far Jimerson has never been anything more offensively than a spot up shooter. A deadly spot up shooter. A sniper. But TJ is infinitely more capable of taking guys off the dribble than Jimerson is.

Congratulations!

How do you like it?

Lol. You misunderstand me. I don’t care if a person is right or left. What offends me is that you only seem to pop up on this board when you find an opportunity to play the victim because you got suspended. You quite literally haven’t posted about ANYTHING Billikens related in MONTHS. THAT is what offends me.

As long as it doesn’t come at the cost of us getting of to a slow start offensively. Don’t get me wrong, I love Yuri. But I’ll believe he’s a consistent scorer when I see it. We know Perkins is a walking bucket, and Nesbitt should be able to score in bunches. I think Okoro is a gonna be a monster, but we haven’t seen it yet. And we’ve never seen Thatch be a big time scorer either. I’m not saying it’s impossible, but that starting lineup, right now, leaves a lot of question marks offensively.

If Steffen is healthy, I think he’s going to be in goal. Turner was incredible. He deserves a shot. But Steffen and Horvath haven’t don’t anything to fall down the depth chart yet. My guess is all 3 of them will get starts at some point during qualifying, but I’d bet Steffen gets the 1st one. Agree 100% with your back line. I really like your midfield. I think it will be some combination of those three plus Acosta and Musah who hasn’t been mentioned much, but has huge talent. Reyna and Pulisic are locks to start. But I bet Sargent starts game one over Zardes/Dike/Hoppe. Berhalter appreciates his hold-up play. But he’s going to be on thin ice if he doesn’t start finishing.

But wasn’t that on like 12 attempts or some outrageously low sample size?

Agreed. There’s a time and a place for that stuff. No matter what side of the aisle you’re on, I think we can all agree this board is infinitely better when we don’t talk about politics. Let’s just let it go. My Starting 5 Prediction: Yuri Nesbitt Hargrove Perkins Okoro i feel like 4 of the 5 are locks. T think the 5th starting spot is between Hargrove and Thatch, and Jimerson will start the year off the bench.

And you literally never post on this board anymore unless somebody says something politically that you don’t like, so you can play the victim. Goes both ways.

If TJ keeps shooting like this, his minutes are going to up a lot this year.

I developed an opinion. The universe isn’t static. Every USMNT soccer fan in America and most of their commentators have been questioning whether Sargent can finish enough for at least the past year, and for the past few years, he’s been playing for a club that has minimal interest in scoring goals. Yes, confidence should be a concern.

By “no real sign his confidence is an issue”, u mean he hasn’t said it or trashed Werder publicly, right? How could you possibly know something like that? I haven’t moved anything. I think playing attacking soccer will good for him and his frame of mind, even it delays other parts of his development a bit. Seeing the ball go in the back of the net will be good for him, even if it’s against lesser competition. Not everything is about technical skill. These are human beings.

The fact that she’s scoring exactly much as he should have given the given the quality of his chances at Werder is precisely my point. If you don’t think playing that “grind it out and hope for a draw” type of soccer every game takes a toll on you, especially for a striker, I just don’t know what to tell you.

I was just about to ask that. I just started following him on Twitter. Nothing yet
