| Combine Coach's Overall Comments |
| This player has a lot of potential. Needs to work on getting the shot off sooner. Has an amazing eye for goal. Needs to look to get on the ball more often. Be a bit more direct to goal. If he can get his fitness up and simplifies his game, he has the potential to go pro. |
