Men's football Captain Julius James named to M.A.C. Hermann Trophy watch list
UCONN Huskies

STORRS, Conn. (August 17, 2006) - University of Connecticut menâ€™s soccer player Julius James (Maloney Gardens, Trinidad) has been named to the 2006 Missouri Athletic Clubâ€™s Hermann Trophy Watch List for the second consecutive season. The complete list of 25, announced by the Missouri Athletic Club, was compiled by a panel of coaches from the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA).

In his sophomore season at UConn in 2005, James played and started in all 21 games, helping anchor the nationally-ranked defense that allowed an average of just 0.56 goals per game, while posting 14 shutouts. Powered by the sophomore defender, the Huskies gave up just two goals at home during the regular season and 12 overall, going undefeated within the confines of Joseph J. Morrone Stadium. On the attack, he scored two goals, one against George Mason (9/9) and another on the road vs. Notre Dame (10/8).

James received numerous accolades for his performance in 2005, including SoccerTimes.com and Soccer America First Team All-American nods, as well as NSCAA Second Team All-American recognition and First Team New England honors. In addition, he was named the BIG EAST Defender of the Year, as well as a conference Defensive Player of the Week on two occasions.

The list also features fellow BIG EAST players Greg Dalby from Notre Dame and Rodrigo Hildago from USF. The remaining talent on this yearâ€™s watch list is spread geographically, by position and by class. There are 13 seniors, nine juniors and three sophomores, and only three schools (Clemson, North Carolina and North Carolina-Greensboro) have two players on the list.

The winner of the M.A.C.â€™s Hermann Trophy will be determined in voting by NSCAA Division I member coaches. A list of 15 semifinalists will be announced in early November, with three finalists announced in late November. They will be invited to St. Louis on Saturday, Dec. 2, for the announcement of the winner at a press conference to be held in conjunction with the Menâ€™s College Cup. Both the menâ€™s and womenâ€™s winners will be presented the prestigious crystal soccer ball trophy at a banquet later that evening.

Question for those in the know....
For his development would it not be better for him to move to Europe now??
Can't somebody alert some scouts about this guy before we loose him to the MLS or worse ??

Or should we wait till he gets his Degree??

Not taking away from the most obvious point of getting education, the quicker our players get international experience and quality coaching the better. Just the other day there was a post about young USA players going abroad to Portugal and other places.
