TIFFANY ON LAGUNOWICH
2025 
– “A ton of promise is found in this new midfielder. J.P. has a full complement of skills we look for in a two-way midfielder: he can bring the gas with his shot and his dodging creates separation while he is also in possession of a powerful two-handed chunky defensive blow. We will focus J.P. on the defensive end in 2025 as we have been impressed with his comprehension of both our on and off-ball defensive principles: we are excited to watch his maturation as a SSDM.”
