It hasn't been easy following last year's SLU draft class, besides Keller.

Keller only shows 6 GP, 318 minutes for Austin FC.  Has he played in any matches for their MLS2 team?

Any other SLU alum you have notes on?

Most of the SLU players start most games in MLS Next Pro. If you follow/watch that league, you will see lots and lots of SLU alums playing a lot of minutes. Often times they go head to head against each other. Kipp has been an MLS roster player.

Following that league is also a good way to learn more about SLU commits, as well as previous SLU commits who never make it to campus and go pro instead.

Simon Becher is getting a Vancouver Whitecaps MLS call up, after a strong season with WFC2. Well earned:

First career MLS game for Simon Becher. And, he gets his first career MLS goal, the equalizer in the 88th minute. 2-1 Whitecaps win:

I unsurprisingly have more information than you. If you would like to troll do it in a different thread.

I was originally asking for info on the game. I could care less if the coaching staff kept stats. So for me, stats weren't kept. 

 

Trust me, we all know you are important courtside. You don't have to prove it anymore.

First, it’s couldn’t care less, not could care less 

Second, you replied to me first, not the other way around. I replied to someone else.

Third, when all else fails, nice job seeking group social validation.

Since you asked, sure. I can share some things about the recent exhibitions. 

Klein sat out the game as he has been dealing with an osteitis pubis type of issue. Townsend has had a mild twisted ankle issue. Warrington has been dealing a little bit with a leg. There are a few others out as well. 

Exhibitions are an opportunity to get some work in, play many players. Much of Sunday’s game was played in the middle of the field without many chances for either team. Both teams are stronger in back right now. It’s just a progress report. 

It was also a good opportunity to get on the road together as a team, with returning players mixing with Freshmen, and transfers. 

Similar to preseason rankings and pre season all conference teams, they results and stats don’t matter all that much. 

……………………..

Same for the Women’s game on Saturday. Did anyone not play? (yes, Simon) It’s a chance to play a lot of players and work on some things as they get ready for Arkansas this week.

I’m surprised VCU is that high…their “far and away” best player last year is now with St. Louis FC Next….and playing very well. They must have recruited at a decent level.
