WELL, AFTER POSTING TWO BACK TO BACK WINS IN LEAGUE PLAY THIS PAST WEEKEND, THE NEW MEXICO UNITED ACADEMY RETURNED TO THE DUKE CITY TO RECOGNIZE EIGHT OF THEIR OWN PLAYERS. JAMAL BYNUM, COLE TIBBETTS, MICAH MADRID AND DEL NESSEN. VELASCO IS MIGUEL REGINA ANDRE WILL BLAZE, BAYLOR, BROOKER AND MYLES MERRITT. EACH SIGNED A NATIONAL LETTER OF INTENT THIS AFTERNOON AT THE UNITED TEAM STORE TO PLAY COLLEGIATE SOCCER. UNITED PLAYERS SPOKE ON ALL THAT AT THE ACADEMY TEAM HAS DONE FOR THEM. WHILE STAFF SAY THEY CAN’T WAIT TO SEE EACH PLAYER GROW IN THE FUTURE INDIVIDUALLY, IT’S BLESSED MY LIFE BEYOND WHAT I THOUGHT IT COULD. ALL. I MEAN, I’M GETTING A VERY GOOD SCHOLARSHIP TO GO PLAY AT A VERY GOOD SCHOOL NOT ONLY ME, BUT SEVEN OTHER OF THE PLAYERS HERE. SO IT’S DEFINITELY A BIG STATEMENT FOR ALBUQUERQUE, NEW MEXICO, JUST TO REALLY PUT UNITED ON THE MAP AND SHOW LIKE, YOU KNOW, WHAT IT CAN DO FOR ITS PLAYERS. I THINK WHEREVER THEY END UP, AS LONG AS THEY’RE HAPPY, I THINK THAT WE DID OUR PART. OBVIOUSLY, WE WANT THEM TO ASPIRE TO GREATNESS AND ALL THOSE THINGS, BUT I THINK THAT IS THEM BUILDING IT. THEY’RE THEY’RE BUILDING WHATEVER THEIR GREATNESS MAY BE. WELL, THE NEW MEXICO UNITED ACADEMY HAS A WHILE TO GET PREPARED FOR THEIR NEXT MATCH, THE BLACK AND YELLOW TWO AND ONLY PLAY SO FAR. THOS
