It is a huge leap from VACA action to NCAA action.

While true, it was a similar leap for a Pennsylvanian homeschooler who walked on and made a big impact in recent years.

Maybe I just missed it, but I can't even find how TALL he is anywhere.

I'd settle for a better picture of the guy.. that drive looks painful or the ball is awfully heavy for him..

I coached against this guy as the New Covenant coach (we had a brutal season). The VACA has produced some talent in the past. A.D. Vasollo played at FCA Hurt for 2 years before transferring, and there have been a couple of D2 players from the conference. Suffice it to say though, Tyler is not D1 caliber, and in my opinion, not even close.

This has been pleasant and professional.

I've made a huge mistake.

Is Del Flame researching Temple's intramual team or their flag football team?

Found info on him - wasn't hard at all. Seems tough and has lots of experience from what I can find -
http://www.eurohockey.com/player/497504 ... urgey.html

* Position: defender - Must be good - they list him as a defender...
* Player status: active player - Being then lethargic
* Gender: male - a major plus
* Nationality: USA [USA] - duh!!
* Birth date: 06.05.1991 - Almost 20 - he's going to bring tons of experience to our young squad.
* Birth place: Rowlett, Texas, United States - He's used to moving, seems to move a lot?

* Height: 188 cm / 6' 2" -Not bad
* Weight: 98 kg / 216 lbs - Heavier then McMasters??
* Shoots: N/A - This probably isn't the best stat? I thought from that picture he was shooting with both hands:(

Found a picture - looks tough -

His dad is a teacher at Liberty.

Little brother is a few years younger but is a pretty good player.

If I'm thinking of the right kid. Pretty sure i am.
