I think it’s great what JM and Nsien have brought to the Tulsa market. I don’t like the Greenwood name when you don’t office, practice or play in the Greenwood district. A very small percentage are even African American. That doesn’t take away from the opportunity they are offering kids in this area. JM can’t coach every team and the coaching roster isn’t stellar outside of JM. Vuko is a bomb ready to explode and would leave in a second if he could ever get a pro job. Should be interestin
It would be very scary for lots or white suburban folk capable of paying for MLS Next teams to send their kids to practice in Greenwood. You know it. I know it. I don't where you could even build a facility too. Near OK state Tulsa? Not enough flat area.
Just saying...
WSA NL Townhall was last night.
Looks like trainings will be at Case 2 nights a week and at an "off site" location in south tulsa area 1 night a week. Rumor is Holland Hall.
They basically said "Come to the open trainings if your kid wants to play NL, RL Tx, or RL Frontier. Tell the coaches if there's a team you don't want to be on / won't play on, ex. RL Frontier. The coaches will give you feedback about their ideas for your players. Players will know their placements by May 12."
RL Tx and NL travel together. Some RL players may be called up for more exposure. The costs for NL are pretty similar to TSC's costs, the structure is just different (IMO worse).
No mention of where games will be played just yet, but I'd guess Holland Hall as well.
Apparently there were about 8-12 TSC 2012 parents there.
Helps to have the head coach of Holland Hall as the director.
If they are truly getting called up and played, that is really good, IMO. I like it when they do that with the Academy kids. I know some of them get really excited about it. I know it is a different age. A couple of kids need to be moved around in my son's age group. It will happen at the end of the year, which is close, but it still helps to have them called up for training and asked to play.

Case 2 nights a week. Dang…tearing up the college fields for a few girls recruiting.
Do you think hurts or helps ORU’s recruiting? If I was a girl, would you want to spend another 4 years at ORU after all that time there. Does it depend if you are a homebody and really, really love Oral Roberts?
