Negoesco is also pleased by Peruvian Carlos Baranchea, a strong defender with tremendous passing ability. Experience will be given to the unit in the body of another newcomer, Alvaro Perez. The fourth fullback position is virtually up for grabs between a number of letter-men. Two men who appear as the top candidates are Kelly Hagan and Kevin Dineen. All-Conference performers John Micklewright and Lorenzo Cumplido head up a powerful mid-field line which will be complemented by two highly touted newcomers — Kiriakos Papagoglu of Athens, Greece and Oscar Granados, originally of Honduras. Papagoglu comes to USF highly recommended from the Greek junior leagues. Negoesco looks to him as a real power in the mid-field along with the two veterans. The forward positions are indeed the deepest segment of the USF team with seven men in the running for starting positions. The key returnee from last season is senior Leon Heitman. A surprise performer last season, Leon netted 11 goals as the team's third leading scorer behind Alex Roboostoff and Hans Friessen (TheFoghorn).
