For those that looked at the lineup tonight for Sporting KC, there might have been a few "who?" comments when looking at the back up goalkeeper on the bench. Others would know exactly who it was. The back up keeper tonight against Montpellier tonight was Scott Angevine, a local KC area product who has trained with the team during the summer while he was in school Angevine went to school with KC's second round draft pick, Cyprian Hedrick.
Angevine becomes the 7th KC area player on the roster as KC continues to utilize their local pipe line of players. The one other thing that the signing of Angevine likely means, is that the team's first home grown player, Jon Kempin is likely done for the year after breaking his ankle. The injury forced KC to go with only two keepers for a while, although league keeper Scott Spangler trained with the team. Spangler though was out hurt as well, and Angevine now gets his shot on the roster.
The team hasn't officially announced the move, although Angevine has posted he's signed on Twitter, his college has a release about it, and from comments Thad made on Twitter yesterday, he wouldn't have been able to dress tonight if he wasn't signed. The move is apparently just awaiting league approval before the team announces it.
How does a goalie break his foot?
ReplyDeleteYour dumb to assume he is out for the year because of a 1 month signing. He tweeted today he is back at training. He is the future skc goal keeper. Keep your high quality facts coming though....
ReplyDeleteYou're maybe?
DeleteKeep in mind, if it wasn't for Kempin we may not be in the USOC final as well.
ReplyDeleteLolwut, where does he ever doubt Kempin's ability? He basically stated that this signing might hint that Kempin may be out for a little while more. Never said Scott is better. We just need the depth at that position as a just in case. He's been training w/ the team for a while now, so it's a depth move that makes sense.
ReplyDeleteWe need the depth, what happens if Kroneberg goes down again in training, and Jimmy gets hurt? Three keepers have been hurt in the last year through training alone. This is a good move, even if it is temporary. Plus who knows how long Kroneberg is going to be around, the guy may want to move onto a starting role sometime in his career and he won't until Neilsen leaves. Even then Kempin may pass him up. It is a good depth move. It is kinda like the Kyle Miller signing, he isn't going to see any minutes anytime soon, but we need the depth in case the shit hits the fan.
ReplyDeleteI made an assumption based off the signing Anonymous it has nothing to do with Kempin's ability. I quite like Kempin, liked what I saw out of him against Orlando. But keep the asinine assumptions coming.
ReplyDeleteYour opinion is worthless mike. You literally have no idea what you talking about. Tweets, blog, etc... Kempin will be back before the end of August. This signing means nothing. Keep on blogging!
ReplyDeleteIf it's worthless than why do you keep coming back to read?
ReplyDeleteI didn't know about him. Usually people don't much about bench players. I think that you can't be called a fan if you don't know more about them.
