The cases for both Kris Shakes (#13) and Raiko Arozarena (#56) to be the first-choice keeper, and an update on our old friend Alex Tambakis (#1).
There are some clear No. 1s in the #USL-C this preseason, including returnees and incoming new signings.
Elsewhere, though, there seems to be a contest for who'll be the starting goalkeeper to start the season.
I made the case for both options at 7 clubs.

Very happy to see Cristian Nava making a return to @newmexicoutd.bsky.social after a lengthy spell on the sidelines.
Nava made 22 appearances for #SomosUnidos before injuries derailed things. The 22-year-old linked up with the club and earned a new deal.

Cody is the 55th (!!) first team player that I’ve been fortunate enough to interview for this work. I can’t thank Cody and the others enough for their generosity of time.

New Mexico United have announced the signing of Jake LaCava and shared a post with him in the #17!
This would indicate that Greg Hurst is about to become the 10th member of the Two-Timers Club, a select group of players who have worn two numbers for United. Our bet is on the #9.

New Mexico United have signed goalkeeper Raiko Arozarena, another former LV Lights player joining Dennis Sanchez in New Mexico.
Arozarena joins Kris Shakes in the local goalkeepers union. Shakes seems likely to pounce on the available #1 shirt while I’m hoping Raiko wears his signature #56.
