That I understood. Expand on the player in question... what age team, quality of skill, etc.

Gotcha, my apologies. Did think it was Everton FC myself until I saw the DA shield.
Yeah, and my dad is John Lennon, and his dad was John Wayne. We go all the way back to John Hancock. If you go back far enough I even think we had a baptist in our line... not saying it wasn't a decent guess but just pointing out the small hole in logic.
He's a CF/AM who put up loads of goals at the U-16 level. It looks like he will be a High School Sophomore this year
From sundance's link:
One local option could be the Long Island Rough Riders, an NYCFC affiliate currently in the Premier Development League. The Rough Riders, who are seeking to become a USL team, announced in December that they want to build a 5,000-seat soccer stadium at Suffolk County Community College’s Brentwood campus on Long Island.

pretty sure they will be one of the "USL D3" teams when that comes about.
It just makes perfect sense for the Rough Riders to be our affiliate. Let's hope we can pull it off. This is becoming a more critical area of need.
I agree that there are real advantages, but it always felt to me that if you want to run an effective B-team, especially for a group like CFG who like to focus on philosophy, that the most sensible option is to an an owner-operator rather than just affiliating. There's too much likelihood of the relationship ending after a few years when you just affiliate.
That's a really good point. Of course, they could always just buy control too.
That's one thing I never did figure out about Atlanta. Why not take over the Silverbacks. Good tradition and a fucking great name.
Could it be that the Silverbacks simply weren't interested in selling?
I think the LI Ducks should be a good indicator that a USL team could be very successful in Suffolk County. They play in Central Islip which is the town next to Brentwood. They averaged 5,265/game in 2016 with a stadium capacity of 6,002. That's fantastic for an independent minor team.
Stony Brook is also DI and averaged 7,268 a game last season in FCS and 3,425 in basketball.
The thing love about the Rough Riders is the history. This is an organization that has produced multiple USMNT players. There's a lot of talent on Long Island and cementing a relationship with the Rough Riders would be big for keeping it blue.

Could be, but I always got the sense that Arthur Blank wanted to start from scratch. I just hate Atlanta United - stupid and derivative.
Silverbacks any better? All of the gorillas in the mean jungles of Georgia?
Brentwood is also quite the youth soccer hotbed, so that is an advantage over the Ducks...
It was named after a specific gorilla from the Atlanta Zoo. There is tradition too, and it is completely original.
Tradition and Original, but great branding?
depends.....if the LI Roughriders actually do that stadium renovations/ building of the stadium they were talking about then it will be in LI i think.....no way you can create another stadium up north and still keep roughriders as an affiliate.
