Vidovich announces six additions
- Thread starter CrazyPaco
- Start date
Has the appearance of a major recruiting upgrade; though, admittedly, I know almost nothing about men's college soccer recruiting; so, I have no measuring stick to compare to typical recruiting for the strong nationally ranked ACC soccer programs.
If someone knowlegeable could shed light on the subject it would be interesting.
Holy sh!t
He brought in a a guy who started 8 games and played in 21 for perennial power, Akron (grad transfer I guess)
2 players who played youth football for Bundesliga and La Liga sides
A guy who led DC United's youth side on goals
A guy who plays for Sydney's youth team.
I know nothing about these kids but this SOUNDS like a major recruiting upgrade. I mean one of the guys played for Valencia's youth team, one of the top clubs in Spain. That's a far cry from getting the leading scorer from Mt. Lebanon

If you're referring to the NC State job, you're wrong. They hired someone else, not Jay.
No. it was a general conversation not about where he's going...but that he's leaving. Maybe away from the college game again.
That would be terrible news, but would unsurprising fit in well with Barnes' short track record here.
Getting Vidovich was like having Mike Krzyzewski fall into your lap. Pitt had an opening at the right time and place and I'd be extremely pleasantly surprised if Pitt would be able to replace this former national coach of the year with someone that holds the same universal regard in the college soccer community.
Let's hope its nothing but garbage rumors.
Vidovich has to be on the short list for ANY major D1 program so of course he is always going to be a candidate to leave. Or maybe Vidovich's ego has him trying to see if he could build a nothing program into a National Champion. People are motivated by different things.
