Bakrar had a $2 million transfer fee, is signed through 2026, and had a salary of $336,000 is his first half-season. So I would think Bakrar is no longer in the U-22 program.
Bakrar is also 23 now, is it possible to “graduate” the U22 slots

I believe if you sign a U-22 contract, you can stay in that deal for at least a couple years. But yes -- considering his small transfer fee and lower salary, he can easily graduate off it. That has to be the move.
Richy started out like a house on fire and then promptly tanked. What a shame.
We got our guys now, though. What a window.

None of us know anything about the players we've acquired this offseason, but I can't wait to watch these guys in action. We have lots of reasons to hope that our offense will come right back to our historical norms. If we can keep these guys for 3-4 years, we are building a core that has the potential to win another MLS Cup.
Don’t read that the wrong way, though.

If you freeze this video when the ball goes into the net, you can spot Jovan playing in the game at Austin over the weekend.
So ... does that mean he's already available for selection this weekend?

Don't we already know he's played? We had a game where he scored twice and someone also got a picture of him on the pitch

He didn't score -- Bakrar scored twice, and based on that video Jones scored. I think the picture was of him on the sidelines, not necessarily on the field.
Ah, yeah, looking back now he's on the sideline there. So i guess what you saw is confirmation that he was on the field as well

Is Ojeda still waiting on a visa? Is he the only one left to bring into the squad? Shame he missed all of preseason
And there's Nick Cushing's excuse!

Are we going to give Nick a fair chance this season, or are we going to treat him like this after he spent 18 months without a representative roster?
I'll give him a fair shot for 10 matches. That's the sensible Lion talking. Reality Lion may just be three.
