"Look for an existing team to re-brand. Then look for a top pitcher or two to join. Shock and Awe time when TR brings his crew to a town near you." - Tyler Durden
I'm assuming that the FCs intend on obtaining the 12-13 most elite players that NorCal has to offer (not just purely "rebrand" an existing team like some have speculated). What top tier NorCal player wouldn't want to tap into the FC's org/connections? I'm talking about the type of young athletes that are already looking like they could be on track to potentially be D1 players. After all, FC players are groomed to play at the collegiate level (Lauren Chamberlain anyone - the list goes on, and on, and on). They also do a great job of getting their talent seen in front of the right people. I’m sure that the intentions will ultimately be to prepare these players to go toe-to-toe with the best that SoCal has to offer. After all, that 98 NorCal FC team has set the bar very high for the younger NorCal FC teams to follow and I'm sure that their staff will be heavily involved, along with the support of the SoCal FC teams and TR. This will end up being a very fortunate turn of events for a very select group of young athletes/families when the NorCal FCs come calling, the likes of which NorCal has never experienced (north of Modesto anyway). Wish I had another 13-year old that could take advantage of the opportunity. Sometimes life is all about timing
