Much talk of Matthew got me very interested. The info below was posted as a link previously but just in case here it is. Still puzzled why there are two(2) different birthdates. Are they different persons?!
If you have the chance, go to the link and look up Gino Pavones scouting report, it's similar to Matt's in quite a number of areas, but that's all I have to say about that
Since the coaching staff seems not to be interested in our young local based left backs(Leonora & Dorlas) and our higher caliber LB's are foreign based(Jonsson, Cagara & Juani) I hope he pans out and if he does, maybe decide to play in the UFL!

Combine Coach's Overall Comments
Think that if he improves a few areas, he can start at D3 team:
1. Fitness. Needs to be more of an attacking outlet.
2. Passing range and consistency when playing long balls
3. Reading the game, positioning so that you can see runners to provide balance.
