Contested PROD. Concern was Article about a footballer who fails WP:GNG and who has not played in a fully pro league. PROD was contested based on "some stuff found through google", but without addressing the underlying concern. Sir Sputnik (talk) 21:43, 18 January 2016 (UTC)
The article begins:
The article further notes:When University of Akron soccer coach Jared Embick got a call to come see Richie Laryea again in December, 2013, neither could imagine that the midfielder would be enrolling at UA three weeks later.
There has been a little bit of a frenzied tone to Laryea’s career ever since. A sophomore, Laryea is the Zips’ second-leading scorer and always seems to be part of the action, but his daring play and accompanying temper has also gotten him in trouble.
Embick won’t dispute Laryea’s value. Embick remembers seeing Laryea when he was a sophomore at Dante Aligheri Academy in Toronto and how much he’d changed two years later.
“As a sophomore, he was OK,” Embick said of Laryea, a member of Canada’s under-18 national team. “When he became a senior his coaches called me again and said, ‘He’s really developed. He had a school, it kind of fell through. We think he’s as good or better than Cyle Larin.’ ” Larin, from Brampton, Ontario, was drafted No. 1 overall by Orlando City SC and was named Major League Soccer’s rookie of the year in 2015.
Laryea’s club coaches for Sigma FC invited Embick to a showcase in December.
...
Laryea has never played anything but soccer since his dad introduced him to the game. He said he didn’t know much then and realizes he has much to learn now.
“I played in running shoes and my dad’s long church socks,” Laryea said of his first team experience. “I was 6 years old, so the socks were almost as tall as I was. Ever since then I knew that’s what I wanted to do.”
The article notes:
On Thursday, the Canadian spotlight shines on midfielder Richie Laryea at the MLS SuperDraft. The five-foot-nine, 151-pound sophomore from the University of Akron is expected to be a top-10 pick at the Baltimore Convention Center.
Laryea, who like Larin grew up playing club soccer in the Toronto area for Sigma FC, is coming off a breakthrough season that saw him score a team-high 11 goals and add seven assists.
Tied for fourth over 30 metres (3.99 seconds) at the MLS Combine, Laryea has the pace and vision to spot a teammate or get himself into a goal-scoring position. The 21-year-old has a nose for being in the right place at the right time.
The article notes:
Orlando City added some midfield depth with its first pick in the MLS SuperDraft on Thursday.
The Lions selected Akron midfielder Richie Laryea, a Generation Adidas signee who adds depth across multiple spots in the midfield. Laryea, a Canadian international prospect, is best friends with Orlando City forward Cyle Larin.
...
Laryea can play in multiple spots, Orlando City coach Adrian Heath said.
"We just think his upside's enormous," Heath said. "We've watched him very, very closely and obviously the fact that he's big friends with Cyle we've known about him a long time. ... Let's just hope he has the impact Cyle's had, if he does it'll be a very good first pick for us."
Laryea had 11 goals with seven assists at Akron last season and will look to find a place in a midfield that features Kaká, Darwin Cerén, Cristian Higuita, Carlos Rivas and Kevin Molino.
