COACHES' BREAKDOWN: "Great college soccer player but doesn't have the intangibles to be a pro ... Very technical ... Don't see him having the extra bit. Going to be a great college player but not a pro ... Pretty good finisher once he gets the ball. Has a knack for knowing where the goal is. Not the kind of guy going to get stuck in and get in the mix ... Doesn't like the physical part of the game ... He'll struggle to make it as a forward in MLS but can develop in lower ranks ... Got a lot of quality, no question. And has grit to him. He's a poor man's Dema Kovalenko. Angry looking general on the field and has technique to him. In a high-paced game at next level and not athletic enough to pull things off.... Really strong. Good size, good strength. Great in the air - cleans everything up. Good passer. Fairly athletic ("moves well enough"), but not super fast. Really clean feet. Plays his role well - plays within his limits. Limited with the ball. Can he change the point of attack enough to hang in the midfield? ... "Breathes soccer." Good at connecting that final pass (playing as a withdrawn forward). Good finisher. Lacks speed, but strength is fine."
