50 goals less than 3 of our other seasons. Yes, it was that bad this year.
First Team
Why were they still in USL Championship last year and not MLS Next Pro? I know a few other reserve sides were still up in USL but dont know reason behind it.Can't believe you stayed with them all season.
I have up maybe 15% into the season and watched maybe 1/2 after that. I have no idea how demoralized the players must have been Turing up every week to get totally killed - awful awful development.

we still have those we were close to signing him last yearbesides Roald Mitchell do we have HG rights to any notable college guys? Did we lose Strouds HG rights when he went to West Ham before Duke?

I wouldnt keep anyone but ofori ovonte and Juan. Nikopolidis is a toss up and I can go either way. Im not against signing a more veteran goalkeeper with rutkowski as the back upStill no announcements on who is leaving.
My choices:
Keep and promote:
O'Vonte Mullings
Keep and trial with first team for preseason:
Juan Castillo
Curtis Ofori
Keep:
Henry Wise
Giannis Nikopolidis
Toss up:
Stiven Plaza
Omar Valencia
Daniel De Leon
Waive:
Derrek Chan
Jordan Adebayo-Smith (loan end)
John Murphy Jr.
Jonathan Filipe
Omar Valencia
Michael Knapp
Lamine Conte
Yostin Salinas

my evaluation is more so I think they have tools that can push to the first team? I dont see it with any of them. I think they probably succeed at signing Peter stroud this off-season thats another cm. Nate worth will get minutes bento will get minutes. They have Seth Kuhn rights as well and I expect him to join post college season he spent time in the summer training. So the cm spots fill up pretty quickly.I thought Wise played well enough for another year, especially with how late he joined. Very vocal, was in the right spaces off the ball, great pedigree. Thought he was a more mature version of Sam Williams.
On the toss ups:
If none return, I wouldn't be surprised. Plaza only took 3 shots in 400+ minutes and scored on one of them so tough to gauge if he'd do any better with better players around him. He was often a non-factor. Valencia I thought was alright, another late join. De Leon was awful to start the season but I think he improved quite a bit throughout the year.

Former NYRBII defenders, Edgardo Rito & Wahab Ackwei named to the USL Championship's Best XI First Team and Second Team, respectively. No NYRBII defenders (or any players) who allowed 76 goals, received honors.
Both are already 26 and still in USL. Not many Aaron Long stories' out there, where players that age turn into solid MLS contributors, or maybe I'm just not aware of them.

Folks didnt like castellanos but I would sign him to a rb2 contract. He is only 18. A few years in rb 2 could turn him from a dud to a stud.
Anyone above 22 years old should be given a trial with the first team. Its sink or swim time for those player. If they are any good, they should get a contract with the first team. If not, they should get cut. The only exception I would make to this rule is if there was a really good character/mentor guy for these kids who can teach them how to be a pro.
We should keep anyone under 22 years of age and sign the best 15-18 year olds from the academy. The team should also tap into the carribean and central American market to recruit u18 prospects
Few guys on RB2 will ever make it to RB1. You still need a full roster of adults to practice with and compete to allow the high potential prospects develop.
