Second youngest, right?

Eddie Gaven, Santino Quaranta and Bobby Convey were all younger also, IIRC.

Of course you are correct. Forgot about Freddy. Just thought thats what I heard once.

Main point still being, the kid is only 20 and has logged in a fair amount of time in MLS games. He could certainly be a contributer to this team. He's back home and the pressure is off him somewhat. Time to rebuild the career.

That is cool to read about Ibrahim, so with him and Kallman Nessie will have two Minnesotans on the squad? Any word on what Gotsmonav is gonna be doing? Is he overseas? Retired?

My one major disappointment is that no fantasy campers were even considered. For some reason we just were not good enough!

Gotsmonav like Warren, Cvilikas and Gosgriff, all retired. In this case the curse of winning the cup. I had that here in the season preview.

Just to clarify...

Abdus "Fuad" "Ibee" Ibrahim was the second youngest player to be taken in an MLS Superdraft (at the time; 2007):

After smashing the PK over the net Saturday night, Neil Hlavaty will be leaving the Stars...and joining the Minnesota Vikings as the new placekicker for the 2012-13 season. I am heading of the the NSC right now to confirm these reports.
