    Nice article. Also nice seeing that LD is taking an interest in him and his family.

    I found it interesting that LD had taken an interest in him too Don. I wonder if it is some kind of California connection or if promising young players in residency are often given advice by senior team players.

    I like Torres and I like the info, but Canales is an idiot.

    So who wants to see Torrez versus Mexico? It's intriguing but we have a lot of solid midfielders.

    Me. At least a Cameo. I was watching him in the Interliga... I like him - he seems to work fairly hard.

    I would start Torres at Left Wing; Beasely hasn't played since the last USMNT game.

    I agree Andy. Tough, smart, good positioning, hard to dispossess, good in the tackle, great crosser of a ball, good vision, good speed ... BUT A LITTLE SHORT.

    I don't know about the rest of you, but this assessment of Torres reminds me of one Steve Cherundolo. I think he's done alright over the years.

    Thanks for the research, Barry. I'm still uncomfortable with Rongen running the youth sides, but there you are.

    Don, Greg Garza could be the LB we have been waiting for.

    An article on another Texan - Omar Gonzalez.

    Interesting blurb at the bottom of the article.

    I like a defender that gets you into your offense from the back.
