Nice catch. Carrieri has been linked to Carolina since day one so this shouldn't be a surprise. Honestly, I was surprised that he spent a season in USL-2 last year.

Let that be a lesson to you: You have to wake up pretty early in the morning to get one past Suz.

It is my understanding that the Kickers had his rights last year, so anything less than a transfer or a trade, he had to stay with Richmond last season.

caveat emptor
Carrieri can be a great player but he's a team fungus at times. KEEP HIM HAPPY... or you're better off fielding a JV high school player.

Carrieri was a team player last year. That was a key to the Kickers winning the title.

Yep. Based on how I remember him from the Rapids, I'd perfer not to see him on the Railhawks. Let's hope he's changed his stripes.

I agree, I think Chris has grown up and mellowed out a little. And by mellowed out, I mean his temper - not his intensity on the pitch by any means.

This a great pick up for the RailHawks. Plus, the boy used to play with Rochester too so he knows the organization he's dealing with.

Ironically, I don't think schweitzer and carrieri played in rochester in the same year.

We'll have the announcement at 2pm EST today (Tuesday) at http://www.trisoccerfan.com
