We obviously had the opportunity to see Will. I think we saw Will his whole high school career and some sessions when he would come out and work with us. From day one he impresses you. He is, technically, a very gifted individual.

We're looking for him to put it all together. For sure he's gifted enough in many areas of the game but he also has work to do.
both extremely guy impression last midfield played sides summer versatile worked
Watson worked out with us this summer and I have scouted him at New Mexico. I think he is an extremely versatile guy who can play in the midfield on both sides and even defensively in the midfield. The impression we got from him last summer was important because he played with and competed with our guys.

I've been in America for 50 years. The mother tongue is in German, but I trust I speak English better than I speak German, although I've kept up the German pretty well.

We saw (Watson) the last part of the college season. We also saw him last summer. You get as much of an impression there as you do in isolated games. We were impressed with how he played with and against our guys.

We can win any game anywhere in this league, ... That's not being pompous or whatever else, we feel that we can. We're not going to win them all, but we feel that we can.
ball both defensive night offensive played plays sides sure turn
We played decently, but it didn't turn into prosperity. ... We've got to make better plays on both sides of the ball and that's what the night was. One better defensive play and one better offensive play, because we sure had the opportunities.
coming players standards
Without a doubt. They know what the standards are. The young players coming in, they are guessing.
both far field good ready
I thought it was a good excursion to Germany. I think we got a lot of things done both on the field and on field. As far as the all of us are concerned, I think we are ready to go tomorrow.
physical presence scares
Just his physical presence (6-foot-5, 210) scares the you-know-what out of you.
ball determined four needed passed perfect responsibility shots talked three tried
We needed to be more accurate, more precise, and sometimes more determined because we passed on some shots. At halftime, we talked about at least three or four shots that were there where we passed the ball - passed the responsibility - or tried to set up the perfect shot.
