BEAT ME TO IT!!!!
SOOOOOOOOOOOOO glad I have my season ticket
As many of you already know, the 2007 MLS SuperDraft is taking place this Friday, January 12th, in Indianapolis.
This is an exciting and historic moment for Toronto FC as we will select 1st overall. Coaches and general managers from all 13 MLS clubs will attempt to find a “hidden gem”. We thought we'd send some Coles notes as to how the Draft works and who's in the running on our side of the border...
The Draft features some of the finest collegiate and youth soccer prospects in the United States. The majority of prospects are graduating college seniors from NCAA schools while others come from Generation adidas. Generation adidas is a joint program between MLS and adidas - dedicated to developing exceptional domestic talent in a professional environment.
Canadians eligible for the draft include: Richard Asante (Syracuse), Nigel Marples (Towson), Jeff Gonsalves (Rhode Island), Riley O'Neill (Kentucky), and Tyler Hemming (Hartwick). The Draft includes four rounds and 52 selections.
The first hour of the SuperDraft will be televised LIVE on The Score starting at 12 noon, with the remainder of the event streamed live on www.MLSnet.com, the league's official website.
