Mo Akeem was injuried towards the end of season his last year in college.
Even when he was on the field he wasn't really as good then. Without him been a full 100% and Obrien White out UCONN fumbled.
Akeem went into the MLS draft as one of the players who was expected to make the cutbut he was obviously unfit and he didn't impress. He was not taken so it is no wonder he didn't impress at HV as he needed some match fitness as he didn't play a good game in months. His stock fell like the Dow in a recession in the MLS draft.
Hope he is doing well now.- Don't let negative things break you, instead let it be your strength, your reason for growth. Life is for living and I won't spend my life feeling cheated and downtrodden.

With their fourth and fifth picks of the day (42nd and 50th overall), the Wizards chose former St. John's University goalkeeper Neal Kitson, who made the 2008 College Cup All-Tournament Team, and University of Connecticut product, midfielder Akeem Priestley, a member of the Jamaican U-23 national team.
Anyway, because being drafted does not tie a player to playing in the MLS, then Priestly had the right to explore his options outside the league, which he did.
I saw him in a couple games when you were saying he was "chawing iron" for UConn and I was not impressed. I was telling myself that maybe he was having an off game."Only when you drink from the river of silence shall you indeed sing.

Sorry I made on mistake. He was drafted but was dropped. Akeem had a very good junior and sophmore year. His senior year was riddled with injury. You can check the stats for yourself.
The MLS got rid of their second team and it is the reason why some good draft pick including Lyle Adams were not giving a chance. Akeem only chance was the A league.
The MLS teams don't want to bug down their rosters with internationals that they don't consider exceptional. Anyway at the end of the day he had to explore his options and he did. Rookies like Akeem will not get more than 25000 their first year no matter what.
He was drafted 50 out of 60 in the final round.- Don't let negative things break you, instead let it be your strength, your reason for growth. Life is for living and I won't spend my life feeling cheated and downtrodden.

also you talk about me saying Akeem is "chawing iron" is nothing about fabrication. I have oftenly spoke about what Obrien White was doing which is unparrellel by any other Jamaican player in a US college. I may have said Akeem was playing good but not to the extent you are trying to potrait.- Don't let negative things break you, instead let it be your strength, your reason for growth.

You are correct, you always say more about White playing well than Priestly. So are we going to make a case to Tappa to give White a look before Canada captures him?"Only when you drink from the river of silence shall you indeed sing.

mi tell everybody who want to hear already. Canada have one Jamaican born striker in Simeon Jackson and if were are not careful they will have 3 by next world cup in Obrien White and Orgill.- Don't let negative things break you, instead let it be your strength, your reason for growth.

... Whitmore on hunt for creative midfielder
BY SEAN A WILLIAMS Assistant Sport Editor
Friday, November 20, 2009
ATLANTA, Georgia - Reggae Boyz coach Theodore Whitmore has conceded that the team is lacking a "creative midfielder".
He admitted that the senior national team needs a player whose 'magic' will help to win games by providing for strikers and other players around him.
DALEY (centre)... knows how to use the football
"Yes, we're searching for that kind of player as we're in the whole rebuilding process, but we have a young Keammar Daley who we're looking to inject in that sort of role," said Whitmore at the Bloemfontein airport on Wednesday as the Jamaica team departed for Johannesburg to make their connection to Kingston.
In their game against South Africa's 'Bafana Bafana' on Tuesday night at the Free State Stadium in Bloemfontein, the Reggae Boyz lacked creative muscle in midfield and subsequently crawled to a 0-0 result with the hosts.
"We need someone like that who could set up the strikers. Yes, it's something that we're looking at," Whitmore reiterated.
But in the absence of a genuinely natural player with these sublime qualities, Whitmore is confident young Daley - the top goalscorer at the Pan Am Games in Brazil in 2007 - possesses the raw material, but needs a bit of polish to fit into the role.
"Daley is that sort of player who can create and finish as well and he knows how to use the football," said Whitmore, Jamaica's two-goal hero against Japan at the 1998 World Cup Finals in France.
In the recent past, successive Jamaican senior outfits have paraded midfield players who are generally dribblers, runners and defensive-minded, but none with the exquisite gift of creating for self and others.
It is an ongoing talking point in Jamaica that such a player exists in the form of Harbour View's Jermaine Hue, but still the crafty midfielder remains in the wilderness as far as international football is concerned.
"Jermaine Hue is a class player, but does he want to play for Jamaica? And before we can even go into any discussion on that, we have to get that straightened out," Whitmore said.
"I have never had the chance to coach Jermaine Hue, but it seems to me he's frustrated with the past coaches for some reason. To be honest, you have players who think they are being used and probably Jermaine is one of them who thinks that he is only called to the senior team when the name overseas-based players are not around," added the Jamaican coach.
Whitmore said no one questions Hue's abilities, but claims he's not convinced the St Thomas native has the appetite for the national set-up.
"It's not like Jermaine Hue cannot play football, and I don't think anyone questions that. He has the quality to play, but does he really want to play? I must ask again," noted Whitmore.
With the lack of a gifted player in the team, Whitmore said maybe it's time for "me to step up and talk with him".
"I have never ruled our Jermaine or another player for that matter," Whitmore added.
The Reggae Boyz returned home yesterday.
