Completely understandable but he's young and big ??(6'2")?? so I thought there might be a chance. Also has he ever been called up for a shot to see what he is capable of?


He's big, but he doesn't play as target forward (McBride or Ching). At least thus far, he strikes me as mostly a poacher.

Poachers are usually only successful at the international level if they're exceptional at it (like Miroslav Klose). Otherwise, you end up looking like Taylor Twellman.

So he's trying to be Dempsey, poacher extraordinaire

Okay I'll have to admit I haven't seen much on him just the little bit I have he impressed me. I just assumed with his size he'd be that target forward but with what you are saying that makes sense and I see why it would be hard for him. (Kinda like a worse Wondo would you say )

Question though I thought he was good in the air and had good heading qualities and ability. What say you to that statement?
