Rapids latest signing
I'm guessing Kimura is the Japanese guy
Kosuke Kimura could become the Rapids latest signing if this press release from Western Illinois University is correct. Looks like he'll be on the development roster somehow.
The article says "Kimura became (past tense) the first Japanese player to join Major League Soccer." Again, I assume this fits in with Plush's master plan to get some South Americans on board.
I don't think the Rapids have confirmed this, but their pattern of letting others get press releases out first means it's probably accurate.
FC Rocky took a look at Kimura last month.
Here's his college bio @ WIU. Wow, my pet fish might be bigger than this kid. Either that or they actually use accurate stats in college. Posted by BilFish at March 8, 2007 11:29 AM
