You might remember as we reported earlier this year the recent additions to the EXPLICIT roster. With players like Neil Eberle, Tyler Harmon and now Chris Lasoya- EXPLICIT is putting together what appears to be a powerhouse team. Core cohesion will be critical for the team in 2012: team managaement and results will matter when it comes to game time. EXPLICIT will be competing in the 2012 NPPL Super 7 Tournament Series.

Chris Lasoya, the Ageless Wonder, has signed with San Francisco Explicit to participate with them in the NPPL Series. Rob Montiero, Owner and President of The Explicit Group, states “We are extremely excited about having this great addition to our team. We know that his experience coupled with the current roster will be an added value and benefit for Explicit.”

“I am looking forward to this year and this new venture with Team Explicit. Rob and company have taken the steps to create a team that will be very competitive. I would like to be a part of that. I have always liked the guys currently on the roster and the new pick ups I have played against for years and I have always had the utmost love and respect for. ‘Talent wins games … but Teamwork and intelligence wins championships.’ MJ said that.” – Chris Lasoya

With less than two months to go until the first event (NPPL Surf City Open March 29- April 1st) fans are eager to see the results.

Tyler Harmon, Neil Eberle, Ryan Podesta and Schwarz Join San Francisco EXPLICIT

January 4, 2012 in Breaking News, NPPL, San Francisco Explicit

As we reported last week- EXPLICIT would be adding new faces to their roster. Tyler Harmon, Neil Eberle, and Ryan Podesta are reported to be joining the team for 2012!

The news first came in this afternoon care of San Francisco EXPLICIT team owner Rob Montiero about their addition of Tyler Dean Harmon. Rob had also posted on ProPaintball.com Discussion Board, PbNation and Facebook about the new pick up. This news was then followed by the confirmation of Pro player Ryan Podesta joining the team.

Last week, ProPaintball spoke with Rob about the Explicit pro team’s outlook for the 2012 season and while he wouldn’t specifically name any Pro roster players, we had a feeling Rob wasn’t just pulling our leg. Tyler Harmon and Ryan Podesta will make an invaluable addition to the team.

“NEWS FLASH!! TYLER DEAN HARMON JOINS SAN FRANCISCO EXPLICIT! TYLER WILL BE A CRUCIAL PART OF THE EXPLICIT FAMILY AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO THESE NEW AND EXCITING TIMES. TYLER HAS ALWAYS BEEN PART OF THE TEAM. FROM TYLER ” I couldn’t be happier to be a part of the Explicit family and I know that we’re going to do amazing things in 2012 I’m really looking forward to all the fun times and putting together a team that can compete at the highest level and put Explicit on the map where [we] deserve to be. Thank you for giving me this opportunity Rob I’m so excited too brother!”

“NEWS FLASH: RYAN PODESTA JOINS SAN FRANCISCO EXPLICIT! WE ARE EXCITED ABOUT HAVING RYAN PART OF OUR TEAM AND LOOK FORWARD TOWARD THIS SEASON.

COMMENTS FROM RYAN PODESTA “Rob, thanks for contacting me about the opportunity to play with Explicit. As a heart driven team I see alot of potential with Explicit. I am anxious to join some of my brothers in arms on the restructuring of this franchise. It is a short hop across the bay from Oakland to SF but I can’t wait to start the journey. Thanks!”

Update: Neil Eberle has joined SF Explicit as well. Neil tells ProPaintball:

“I am real excited to be joining Explicit. After thinking long and hard for the past several weeks. I am happy to say I am not gonna retire from the sport I love. And I look forward to helping build Explicit into a top team this year. Rob thank you for the opportunity to be a part of team.”

Pro Update: San Francisco EXPLICIT Team Tryout

January 1, 2012 in San Francisco Explicit

We spoke with Rob Montiero of San Francisco EXPLICIT. The Pro Paintball Team is holding Tryouts for 2012.

Do you have what it takes to make it on San Francisco EXPLICIT? The Professional team is holding tryouts for the 2012 paintball season. When speaking with Rob the longtime Team Owner he had described to us a rebuilding year for the franchise and team. Montiero has helped to craft a marketing program behind the team which had the roster in positive spirits, they were putting wins on the board and most importantly core cohesion was tight when they entered the NPPL.

With the change, Pro-Ready and hungry players are invited to make tryouts. It may lead to a 2012 spot. Part of the team’s plan is to rebuild, retool and refresh their franchise.

“We are looking at revamping the team. I have personally spoken to some key players out there but [it's] too early to mention who they are. The San Francisco Explicit organization is looking forward to the 2012 season.”

What evaluations can be made? For starters a refreshed franchise in the NPPL Pro Bracket. That momentum will be key in the new year. With many professional teams weighing their options for the next season, EXPLICIT will be seeking a renewed fervency. Have what it takes?

Tryouts will be Sunday, January 8th at 10 A.M. – Capital Edge Paintball Park is the Location. (Sacramento, CA 95829)
