Kadenge Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 Keeping my fingers crossed that he develops into the CB that we have been waiting for. johnyb, Dominic94, Jack1997 and 11 others 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VinceA Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 Should be noted as a GA he's signed to a contract so he can't get Mohammed Omar'd. I think. Pottsy3, Metro, Corazon and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct, most GA players get 5 year contracts, 2 to 3 years guaranteed and 2 to 3 club options. Metro 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
An Observer Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 I guess at 3rd overall, he should get a good look and some opportunities this coming year. And agree with Kadenge, it would be great if we can develop a CB out of nowhere. We definitely need it. That being said, I wasn’t overly impressed with his highlights that were posted on here in another thread. He definitely has the physical tools to be a cb but from that video, MLS will be a big step up for him. johnyb, Jack1997, baulderdash77 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baulderdash77 Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 I’m actually quite glad he’s going to a US based team on a GA agreement. Colorado isn’t a big market and they will want to play their #3 pick some minutes. Canada also really needs a CB to emerge. I think we should start up the hype train. johnyb, Dominic94 and Jack1997 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Colorado didn't trade specifically to get him. TFC threw the pick into The MAK deal and then subsequently shit the bed. They probably expected it to be like a 10-15 pick and it ended up being #3. Edited December 22, 2022 by rydermike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait... 6'4"... Centre-Back... drafted 3rd! MLS drafts can be a crap shoot, but that seems promising. With CB being the clear gaping hole for the CMNT, if I were this kid I'd be first at gym and last to leave the pitch every day until I'd carved my f@$%ing name onto an MLS first 11 team sheet.

Definite crapshoot…. But landed at the right franchise. Colorado has 4CBs on that roster right now. One guy is returning from ACL injury, another didn’t play much and spent time at Colorado rapids 2. He might be the future 🙏🏿 Jack1997, johnyb and A_Gagne 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bison44 Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 I would be happy if he turned into a 2 footed Miller. As much as i would like to see a CDN Japp Stam or Puyol or even a DeVos come down the pipe I dont think its happening. And we could use about 3 more solid MLS level CB to flesh out that defense when Vitoria is done in the near future.

Pottsy3 Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 6'4 Canadian centreback drafted in the top five of the MLS draft definitely has promise... hopefully he doesn't get the same path as another player who fit that description, Callum Montgomery who hasn't got an MLS minute through four seasons.

SoCalTransport Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 Just now, DigzTFC said: I find the MLS draft is more of a crapshoot, compared to drafts in other sports. It feels like you can find a diamond in the rough at any point of this draft. But most players who are drafted struggle to find playing time.

It looks like he play right and left side CB so he might be the replacement for Vitória if he can play regularly in MLS. sebdeserio and Jack1997 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a ton at the back for Colorado ever since the end of the Drew Moor-Rapids era, so there’s definitely a gap for him; worth considering as well, aside from Rapids 2, they could always loan him next door to Colorado Springs in USLC.
