Kendrick Khiry Lamar needs to learn the club's name.
Looks like a Young K-P Boateng without the tats.

some more info on him http://www.mlssoccer.com/superdraft...oregon-state-star-khiry-shelton-eyes-mls-care

I met the kid today, extremely well spoken, intelligent and excited. Seemed overwhelmed (obviously). Said he couldnt wait to get training, and his father spoke extremely highly of him and said hes received calls about the USMNT ....seems like a great pick up and a great person.

The more I read the better he sounds, I bet we will see him some year one

We need depth at the forward spot, looks like this kid can give us that.

 

[RahDar]

Awesome. So great to hear

The way Kreis talks about him, he sound like a prime candidate to go to Wilmington. But the strikers are very thin he might get bench time.

I just heard that Khiry Shelton was the only senior with a Guaranteed contract with the MLS. So he will be on the team, not that we didn't think he would be but it's worth noting.

In the video I've seen of him he looks pretty comfortable on the pitch. Good football mind, so far saying and doing the right things as a new player. I think once Kreis gets a firm grasp on shaping him he will come out fine. Let's also not forget getting to pick the brain on Villa is going to open a whole new chapter for him. Good choice.

Ives has Khiry Shelton as a possible Olympic qualifying option:

He's incredible. The club mined a diamond with this pick. The guy is ELECTRIC!!

Saw Roldan out in Seattle for literally about 2 seconds last week. Nothing special.

I think Orlando has the other star kid, Cyle Larin. Haven't heard a damn thing about him.

But Shelton....Kreis knows how to pick them.

Khiry is legit, great pick up. Controls the game

Khiry is legit, great pick up. Controls the game

i wouldnt say "controls the game" but he definitely gives us a different option with his speed and strength.
