I am assuming this is why.

You're kidding, yeah?

I wasn't, but my post came across as a bit harsh. My apologies for that.

My point was that tons of Canucks sign in NCAA. Granted, Maryland is the top program in the States, and he may be GenAd eventually, but maybe he doesn't even go to MLS after uni.

This should be in the MNT forum but anyways I prefer reading this here than some TFC vs MTL stuff....;)

Good luck to OLL! Maryland is a top program and if he comes there highly regarded by the coaching staff there's a good chance they'll at least turn him in a decent pro.
