TIGER - NOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

[Deuce]

Wow... although not completely unexpected it is still surprising to see tiger, tarley, and flores on that list....

[AreliusIII]

Wow!! Our man Tarley is gone, along with Tiger! Sergio is gone too! I think Sergio was the only player that didn't get into a senior match last season. I wonder if he'll go back to Bolivia. I really liked him.

[Deuce]

none of those cuts solve the SI issue either!

No, but today's lineup gives hints. Scarlett stayed on bench. The other SI's all played...

[beaveman]

Of course it could also mean that they are sure about keeping Scarlett, but not sure about which of the others to cut...

[RSL1]

Not really. That was the starting line in the first half. Scarlett hasn't had an appearance with the first team yet in Florida, to my knowledge. I think at the very least it tells you that Sequiera and Cabrera are front-line startes (having played every match this "spring") so far, Torres and Walsh are being looked at closely to their role, but Scarlett is on the side. Was anybody there that can confirm that he was even with the squad today?

Scarlett did start the KC match, according to this...

And the UCF match...

(Thanks SoccerPrime)


Noah or Chase will get cut (we don't need 4 keepers). I have no idea on the others, though. Maybe we'll cut both keepers and go with the Chad Sackett option again. 😉

[RSL1]

How's Attiba Harris been doing? We heard some rumblings of him being quite good at one point didn't we? Seems like he may have had a hand in a goal or two today against DCU. Anyone got the scoop? Perhaps this made Tarley expendable with Kreis, JC and Watson?
