Fellas we does forget the boys on scholarship. I was checking the ncaa standing and we boys who playing for Clayton state in Atlanta rank in the top 10.. They winning there conference and ranked first in the nation. They might bring home a championship ring for we country. The team have the national under 20 striker Kevin Crooks and a goal keeper from presentation college Ricardo Vasconcellos and ah beast in defense name Josh stewart, let we support we boys nah..Them is the future and all ah them does play check them out at www.clayton.edu.

a top 10 div 2 school is not a bad team could hang with the better div 1 teams.

Div 3 yeah that is all crap. top to bottom

As a matter of fact, Div. II schools like Southern COnnecticuit, where Shawn Boney went will run through most Div. I teams. Dem schools don't really have ah age limit, so the players are usually more mature.

Ass..Division one schools don't have an age limit anymore..As long as you haven't used your 4 years eligibility, yuh could play till yuh old like the road. I hate men talking bout shit they know nothing about. So.Conn beating top division schools.looool..real idiaat talk yes..

Fordy Fordy, i aint say the reason was football ass. Academics is the major factor too. But we all know that Div 1 is the top division with generally the better players (Generally). This is a real chupid argument fellas. A division I teal in england could beat any EPL team on a given day, but would u say that the Div 1 is a better league? Nope ass...again, there is a reason why we have divisions..

Anyways tenor saw, what school u went with me? in Trini or the states?

I always say that we are making a mistake by allowing our players to enter the NCAA system. That football in one word is mess. Whatever division. They just fast and strong nothing more. We should focus on making the quality of youth football higher and expansion quantitatively and qualitatively of the domestic league. If we can keep our players for 2-3 more years we'll see better results.

i half-heartedly agree with yuh horse. the brand here is definately a physical brand. wild-horse kinda scene. but i would say that it is still a step up from that "pro" league in trinidad, where man have 10 mins on the ball to decide what they goin an do with it. i think the major downfall is the TNT football admin, who doesn't keep strings with players on scholarship in the US. They hadda find ways to keep in touch with their players and to keep inspirin them, give men a sense that TTFA behind them if they doin good.

Alluh doh even know what alluh saying. That same clayton state school beat division 1 team. They only have like 4 americans on the team. Is like 4 south afericans, a few nigerians, 2 colombians, 3 english, bulgarian, mexicans, 3 jamaicans and 3 trinis..And the boy Kevin Crooks have the most goals 7 and 7 assist. All ah them play for the national team and i hear them looking real dam good. And some people doh go division 1 because of sat scores and the boys probably getting more money there cause is ah rich school. The only team that beat them is the team who ranked 1 in the nation and it was over time and they had 1 upset. Naia teams getting like 5 and 6 goals from this team. They hit ah side 9 this week.

Yuh know what for a man who claim to have so much knowlege youre a very dismissive, closeminded individual and as for dismissing these fellas who you obviously know nothing about....I could say for a fact that one of the guys josh stewart could walk onto the national team right now in the defense....there have been alot of really talented men who got their break in div 2 teams because of lack of contacts and such....men like jerome leyaw, anton brown , mark aqui sherwyn seifert , for crying out loud mickey trotman play naia and stern play junior college dont judge men because they in div 2 judge them on merit......you mean to tell me you is big grad assistant and so ignorant in your ability to assess situations and teams....allyuh men is only paper coaches yes

jaffa · « **Reply #23 on:** October 28, 2005, 09:04:24 PM »

Ngozi is correct - i used to coach NCAA Div 1 and played there also. Played w/ 4 trinis- and coached numerous. It is not all about ability -it is alot about test scores and age depending on which Division you play. Overall Division 1 - NCAA is the best and most competitive, but ther are plenty of NAIA and Div. II teams that can compete. A college/university status is dependent on all sports, so a college/university could have big american football or basketball, and be D-I because of that, but not pay attention to soccer. Along the same lines, a D-II or NAIA school could put all of their focus and money on soccer, and be much more competitive - they alos don't have as strict academic and age requirements.
Bottom line - don't bash a man because he plaing D-II or NAIA, or even Junior College (like Stern did) - it could be a situation of academics or age, or just who happened to recruit him - there are plenty of great players and teams in those divisions. I am also copying from my post on another topic around Trini'sin college regarding Josh Stewart below - his Dad is great man and hero:

Josh Stewart is son of Lennox Stewart - he a trini hero - won a bronze medal in olympic games for track and field I think - he definitely did something big - can't remember exactly. I worked soccer camps w/ Lennox in the US 6-10 years ago - and he brought Josh w/ him. They are both great fellas - and Lennox can run - he is a hero.

As others say a lot of guys go to D2 schools and NAIA because of academics. I am at a NAIA school, our guys played Christian Brothers and beat them 2-0. Christian Brothers had just came of a game losing (just barely)to the No.#2 ranked D2 school 1-0. A lot of people think that D2 and NAIA are not good, but when you become part of it then you see the difference. A lot of ranked D1 and D2 Uni. would not play a team like Lindsey Wilson College or Rio Grande. Simple because they know there chances of losing is high and they cannot risk it.
