Five Points to Ponder About Moor Trade

Now the Dallas native is not one of the top defenders in the league and has never been an all-star, but Moor’s veteran leadership and respect he commanded from his teammates will be hard if not impossible to replace. It remains to be seen whether or not Ugo Ihemelu will be an upgrade over Drew at right back, but let’s give him the benefit of the doubt. Still, there are a few miscellaneous aspects of this trade to consider and here they are.

Parting Words with Drew Moor

Moor at MLS Combine 05 (Buzz Carrick, 3rd Degree)

Drew Moor is heading to Colorado tomorrow, but was nice enough to give us some time on the phone today for a conversation. It’s been a long run for me watching Drew Moor, starting back at Indiana at the final four… or maybe even Dallas Cup without knowing it. Then scouting him at the combine, running into Drew and his father the night before the SuperDraft at a bar where I was eating dinner, chatting with him the next night after being picked. Then through the ups and down of a career at FCD that included several coaching and positional changes. Through it all Moor has been a class act and a consummate professional. He was always willing to talk on and off the record.

Here is a quick look at the current members of the team so you can keep up at home, divided according to whether or not they came here under Schellas or not. A list of FCD expatriates is also included for posterity’s sake.
