Yeah, he's still so young, and he's clearly improving, but he's still over-reliant on his athleticism in my opinion. I'd love for him to have a great back-end of the MLS season and get a move over to Europe this winter, I think he might need that challenge to really take the next step.
I was impressed with the raw physical tools of Cade Cowell! I hope his timing and strategic awareness improve enough to move him up the depth chart.
