Commitments: Johnny Nartowicz, Malcolm Stewart, Jared Kent, Paul (Banks) Fisher, Zhuvonte Wilson, Dean Rutherford
Four of the six players in the Charlotte class hail from North Carolina as the 49ers staff focused on pulling in the top local recruits for this year. Nartowicz, a midfielder from Florida, and Stewart, a talented defender from Georgia, are the anomalies from the pack. Rutherford brings the pedigree with him as a former member of the U.S. U17 Residency Program.
Commitments: Stephen Megaloudis, Luca Giovine
There has been no indication that the verbal commitments from Kenny Arena’s tenure have decided to go elsewhere so FIU still looks to be bringing in a relatively strong class for 2014. Megaloudis is an attacking talent from CASL where he had nine goals last season for the club’s U16 side. Giovine is a forward from the Chicago Fire Academy.
