MLS announces Generation adidas Class of 2008

Patrick Nyarko, Eric Avila and Alex Nimo are three of the marquee members of the Generation adidas class of 2008, which was announced by Major League Soccer on Thursday.

MLS named nine players as part of the new class and all nine will be eligible for the MLS Draft on January 19th in Baltimore.

Here is the list:

Patrick Nyarko, forward, Virginia Tech

Eric Avila, midfielder, UCSB

Alex Nimo, forward, FC Portland (high school)

Josh Lambo, goalkeeper, Chicago Magic (high school)

Tony Beltran, defender, UCLA

Chance Myers, defender, UCLA

Rob Valentino, defender, South Florida

Brek Shea, midfielder, Texans FC (High School)

Ciaran O'Brien, midfielder, UCSB

Nyarko is widely-regarded as the best player available in the draft and the likely No. 1 pick. The Virginia Tech striker is coming off a strong showing in the NCAA Tournament last month. Avila, who scored the game-winning goal in the NCAA College Cup final in 2006, is considered the best midfielder in the draft while Nimo is considered the best long-term prospect.

All nine players will take part in the MLS Combine this weekend in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.
