A few of them show their faces (one from Scotland and almost all the females). They had some of them this morning on at least one of the Sunday shows I saw (Sunday Briefing on Fox).

For some reason, looks like On3 has him as Tyler Edwards

especially the transfer portal.

Somewhat agree. But I think a lot of people underestimate the impact of player retention for important players and positions. This, more than anything else is key because of continuity.

You can see that in how hard he worked to get certain players that he valued to come back out of the portal after they had entered (Durham, Spears, etc.) and kept others from entering (Pickett, and others).

USMNT players’ ties to your SEC team

Posted by Smokin Joe Dumas on 6/11/26 at 8:41 am

I posted Cameron Carter-Vickers and Haji Wright’s ties to LSU (Howard Carter and Joseph Addai respectively).

Anyone else know of any others? Ones I’ve missed or ones with other SEC ties.

EDIT: I really should have put the others into this thread, but I thought about it after the fact

Cameron Carter-Vickers ties to LSU

Posted by Smokin Joe Dumas on 6/11/26 at 8:23 am

I know he’s not on this World Cup team (would have rather him than Miles Robinson).
However, seeing as he’s recently been on the shortlist and called up multiple times, as well as being on the last World Cup squad, I thought it was interesting that he’s the son of former LSU and Denver Nuggets basketball player Howard Carter from the early 1980’s.

SIAP Haji Wright ties to LSU

Posted by Smokin Joe Dumas on 6/11/26 at 8:12 am

I was reading up on the USMNT players and was surprised to find out that Haji Wright’s cousin is Joseph Addai.

Yes, THAT Joseph Addai that played running back for LSU and won a Super Bowl with the Indianapolis Colts!

Doesn’t look like he’s carrying much bad weight either.

They paid his buyout and it was accepted by NC State. The End.

This tournament will be an attritional battle and we don’t have the depth.

If it happens, it depends on who goes down. If it’s CB or maybe a key player, then we’re in trouble and players that have to step up may dictate formation.
Depth up front isn’t an issue in my eyes. Neither is R or LB/WB.
All the keepers have strengths, but also big weaknesses. So, if one goes down, it’s really the same

BTW, I thought we had a couple of up-n-comers discussed before the last WC. Wonder what happened with them?
Are there any in the pipeline?

It’s hard to get starters minutes at that position
