Preseason, Day 5: Meet a Freshman

To be honest, not a lot happened on Day 5. So rather than recap a fairly ordinary day (training, fitness, training, fitness) I'll instead introduce the first in a multi-part series called "Meet The Freshmen."

Today's freshman is Paul Grandstrand. Let's get things rolling with this incredibly revealing interview:



Just like The View, we're not afraid to ask the tough questions. Or to wrap things up with a baby picture - I told you...they're everywhere! Unfortunately, I spent most of this "interview" trying to figure out if the camera was on, and, unfortunately, it was. Future interviews will be much better. Promise.

Fun fact about Paul: He played right back on his club team and was a Minnesota All-State selection as a defender during his junior year. Then, during his senior year, he was named "Mr. Soccer" (the top high school player in the state) as a goalie. While being named the Mr. Soccer of Minnesota is somewhat like being named the Mr. Luge of Florida, it is nonetheless an impressive accomplishment, and qualifies Paul to join the elite ranks of Mr. Soccer Camps.

Paul's play during preseason has been very impressive thus far, so with last year's starter Jarrett Leech '09, up-and-coming sophomore Jarrod Schlenker '10, and Paul all in the mix, there should be no shortage of talent between the pipes.

And seriously, ladies, how about that smile?
