In the #DCU pre-game pictures, they included one of Hopkins' jersey. Seems to imply that he'll be available to play tonight in some capacity.

#DCU posted a short video today and it appears Tai Baribo might have a cast on his left hand/wrist. Can't imagine this will keep him out for the Houston game, but could be something to keep an eye on

Since Weiler came in, #DCU has spent:
$700k on Clark
$4M on Baribo
$7M on LOUIS
$2.375M on Ordaz
Plus whatever the fees were for Kurokawa and Hefti. There was probably also some amount of buy-out that had to be done on Schnegg, Badji, and/or Herrera.
That's well over $14M spent so far

@gregoryroche.bsky.social this is one of the more highly touted DC Academy kids, right? I feel like I've heard you mention this name before

Quick update to the #DCU roster breakdown following today's Dozzell announcement. I'm assuming he'll be TAM coming from England, but we should know for sure in ~September

Quick #DCU roster update now that the season has started. According to the league site, Hopkins has been moved to the Senior Roster. That would fix our 11/10 supplemental issue...if it didn't already list Grant Leveille as being fully signed.

#DCU lineup, per the team:
Johnson, Bartlett, Peltola, Kurokawa, Peglow, Baribo, Louis, Antley, Rowles, Servania, Hopkins
Not really sure what that formation is yet.

Based on what Doyle has here, I *think* #DCU has roughly ~$3.7M GAM plus whatever the "You Suck!" GAM allotment is for missing the playoffs. And that number could increase if they go with the 2/4/2 model instead of the 3/3 model

Glad to see other sports leagues are finally adopting the superior way of doing transfers that MLS has been doing for years: trading players for obscure concepts that no one fully understands

As far as Lennon being a #DCU trialist, I can't imagine that he'll make anywhere near his 2025 salary if he gets signed. The fact that he's a trialist sort of signifies that no other team wanted to sign him as a free agent at the salary he wanted, so now he's trying to show his worth
