almaman Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 1 hour ago, TheA_Bomb said: The MLS has crazy salary cap and foreign player rules. There are multiple drafts too. Most of my knowledge of it comes from playing Football Manager 2020 (great game huge in the UK) anyway. Here's some info from a Football Manager site https://www.footballmanager.com/guides/guide-mls "Generation Adidas contracts are offered by the league to the best hot prospects that come through the SuperDraft, but these cannot be renewed. Reserve contracts are for players new to the league and these can only be given to those under the age of 25. ........ Players on Generation Adidas and Reserve contracts are considered cap free." My guess is #1 overall is probably near $200,000 and #10 is $125,000 based on this data a few years old https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.forbes.com/sites/ianquillen/2019/10/04/in-mls-rookie-of-the-year-race-salary-doesnt-match-performance/amp/ so JG's Go Go $$ @ best? hard 2 believe they have passed NHL in popularity while paying G league $$.

What I can say is AJ came close to being drafted in the 3rd round, and, he’d be a good signing for any team, including the local team. And, SLU has had a player strongly considered for a homegrown signing elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

courtside Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Lane is a very experienced, versatile 4 year player, already on campus at SLU. He has played a lot of wing back (similar position to Murana and Vaughn) for SMU, much of it on the right side. But he’s played both. He’ll get up and down the wing and defend. Has a long throw in the offensive third of the field. He’s played in 3 games vs SLU in his career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

courtside Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Recent 2022 SLU commit Devin Padelford has been training with the Minnesota United first team this past week. Devin is a versatile, MF/LW, who previously was a Twin Cities 1st team All State player, (also a hooper) who plays for the U19 MUFC Academy team. (2022 SLU commit CJ Coppola is also a MUFC Academy player who is a former Iowa Gatorade Player of the Year.)

This exact sentence linked to any other sport would mean that player is elite. It’s a great experience and opportunity for Devin. It’s also a testament to SLU recruiting and player evaluation. SLU will play him where he is needed most and fits best. But he’s played a lot of left wing and center mid. Would be a nice outside back too. Minnesota has been one of several recent, SLU friendly geographies. Devin is from Woodbury. Dylan Olson is from Minnetonka, Patrick Weah settled in Maple Grove. And CJ Coppola has been playing club ball there this past year. I think some recent SLU Soccer followers will also get to see some of the player development side of things next season as some of the players that didn’t play as much this year are pretty good. And, transfer Lane Warrington is off to a great start, and, is already showing leadership qualities on the back line.

Two of them are committed to Indiana, one 2022, (Wagoner) one 2024. (Maher). A few are Missouri St. guys, Hiebert Dolling, and Creek. Pompeu was a star at VCU. Gibbs brothers were SLSG and local High School State Champs. Rivas was a D-3 all American for former Billiken Joey Clarke at Wash U. Wilkomenn won a national title at Marshall. Aaron Heard, from DC, Philadelphia Union, StlCITY Academy is the number one U15 player nationally. 11 players from St. Louis. Some stlCITY Academy players. 7 countries. Armstrong’s dad was the first U.S. born black World Cup player in (1990). Some players will retain amateur status. Some will not. SLU has recruited a few of these players.

courtside Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 Yep. Pompeu is a skilled midfielder with pace on the left wing. Played for St. Louisan Dave Giffard at VCU. (Originally committed to UCLA.) Played at the same high school as Tab Ramos, Claudio Reyna, Gregg Berhalter. He was one of the 44 players invited to the MLS College Showcase.
