SCOUTING REPORT: “Chandler’s numbers speak for themselves… he is the guy that is going to score you double digit goals every year… a big part of his game is his assists. He’s a goal scorer but he also assists and not many target forwards can say that… he takes his craft very seriously… he wants to break the USL goal scoring record and he wants to win a championship… with him on our team we feel good about both of those things happening…”
