Rimando was in Washington when D.C. United made 14-year-old Freddy Adu the youngest player in the MLS. Rimando came with Adu to Salt Lake as part of a trade in 2007 and watched later that year when Adu left for what would prove to be a disappointing international run.
"He was just a little kid, Freddy," Rimando said. "But there was a lot on his shoulders and a lot expected of him. RSL groomed Luis the perfect way — didn’t throw him into the fire, didn’t put a lot of expectations on him. He came in knowing that it’s going to take time and that’s exactly what it did. And now look where he’s at."
