center jeremy midfield proven strength talent
Our strength is really in the midfield. We have talent and depth, especially in the center of the field. I think you're going to see an interesting tandem in the midfield with those two. Nico is proven and I think Jeremy is proven.
ability break extremely guys run strong three
I think those three guys have the ability to really run at defenses. They are extremely fast, strong and skillful and can really break down a defense.
ability attacking dynamic matt mitchell player pose type
Matt Mitchell is another type of player that we have not had here in a while. The combination of his speed, athleticism and attacking ability will pose a dynamic that we feel we've been missing.
ask brought defending month players question talented time
We brought in some very talented first-year defending players and a transfer. But it is going to take some time to get them organized. As for my expectations for the defense, I don't know. That'd be a better question to ask a month from now.

They have had the benefit of being with us all spring and playing those positions and I think have really done well. It is just going to be a matter of getting some experience and some time.
bad certainly couple easier freshman goalkeeper good guy line pain putting
It would be real bad if we were putting in a freshman goalkeeper in the goal and our whole back line is new too. It makes it easier when you have a guy like Burke who has been doing it for a couple of years and has some experience. It certainly eases the pain and it is certainly a good thing.
couple difference level looking second sink start terms took
The start was not what I was looking for in terms of energy. I think in the second half, some things started to sink in and we took our level up a couple of notches. Once we did that, it really made a difference in our play.
adam anybody capable couple fast guy positions team
Adam is a guy who can play in a couple of different positions for us. I know what he is capable of up there. One thing he can do better than anybody on our team is run. He is so fast and he has unbelievable stamina.
business four guys rest spent time trying usual
We have spent a lot of time working on our back four with different guys at those positions, trying to get that shored up and ready. We are pretty much business as usual in the rest of the field.

Chase is the Georgia State Player of the Year and a high school school All-American. He's a forward that has set several scoring records. What I like about Chase is his all-around athletic ability, toughness and goal scoring capability.

He's very good with his back to the goal. He's tall and can head and flick ball, and is a great finisher.
