This is a pretty weak draft class. It seems to get weaker every year. But Cyle Larin is a unanimous #1 projection by many experts. He already plays for the Canadian National Team.

Syracuse's keeper also signed with MLS and got a call up for the USMNT training camp at the same time.

Same story also noted that Central Florida’s Romario Williams also is going to MLS under an Adidas contract. Good for American (Conference) soccer?

Done deal. Cyle Larin was selected #1 by Orlando. Two years in a row a UConn product has been selected first overall. Pretty impressive!

May not be always be happy with UConn's on-field performance ( PK loses!), including questions on some decisions by the coaching staff, and obviously the impact on conference realignment; but, can't ague the success in the MLS drat back-to-back #1 picks plus an additional late 1s round pick.

Otis Earle is Robbie Earle's son. I thought SKC would get him. Good draft for us according to Peter Vermes. According to him we got 3 out 4 targets. We traded pick #30 for Servando Carrasco from Houston. He is better know as Mr. Alex Morgan.

I'd like to call him one of the luckiest men in the world

Thus explaining one of my missions at UConn, try to date the entire women's soccer team

She's married? That's too bad. I saw her play at The Rent, she's awesome.

Yeah and Dom Dwyer is dating another hottie teammate in Sydney Leroux. The potential for WAG scenery at Sporting Park just increased 100 fold.
