Has anyone got a completed list of players that have been invited, instead of going one by one who has been invited. The good thing is that the ADIDAS MLS DRAFT is also in Fort Lauderdale about this time and there should be a good amount of Scouts in that area. Hmmmmmmmmmm, I wonder if it was all planned this way. Ya Think? Very nicely done CSA. Hopefull it will give many of the youngsters a good oppertunity to be seen by the various Scouts for the many Clubs, near and far.After all, this is the CANADIAN NATIONAL UNDER 23 OLYMPIC CAMP!

I noticed there are 200 players in the CSA U23 link. What's up with that? The Americans top out their pools around 60-70 with some of their teams, but they are flying them all in to team camps. How many of those kids are carded?

some information has begun trickling in the past couple of days. I know of at least 1 player who impressed during the Francophone Games that has gotten called in. I'm digging around to get more names and will post everything I can get my hands on ASAP, hopefully before the CSA makes it official.

Edit: Nana Attakora is definitely going to be at the U23 camp and likely will remain in Florida for the senior camp before heading off to TFC camp.

I'm in Fort Lauderdale working the MLS Combine, anyone got an address on where the Canadian camp is?

I dont know for sure, but CSA used to use the same hotel out in Sunrise. It has soccer fields on the premises and thats where the teams used to train. I think it was a Hilton. It was prety close from Fort Lauderdale, on a rented car it took us something like 10 minutes to get there from the coast line/ beach area

if Gianluca is lurking he my recall more details

Yep you were right Tony... the Camp is at the hotel. I hope to stop by atleast for one session.

Also, through an interview done for my site (www.mlsdraft.net)

I found out that Drake defender Julien Edwards has been called up for the camp.

Edwards: To be honest, if you would of asked me four years ago, where i would be? or what I'd be doing after my senior year? I would of never in a millions years imagined being in the spot I am in now. I think the best way I've learnt to deal with it all, would be not to expect or get my hopes up. All I can do is play hard and give 100% and the rest is out of my control. In the end, soccer is a team sport, and I wouldn't be given these opportunities if it wasn't for my coaches but especially my teammates who have made me a better player/person on and off the field.

Are you making up some of those names in your mock draft Sean? I thought Two-Boys Gumede was a stretch until I saw the name after that one!!???!!

I must say, the list of clubs that those players represent is not that impressive. Albeit, in the past it has been the opposite and the results were not the greatest. Lets see what happens. Is Gala out of the mix?

judging players at this age by what club they play for is relatively pointless for Canadian players.

So many of our players who are at "good" clubs don't play. I'd rather see players who were playing at a decent level get a chance to show what they've got vs. the boys with the more impressive looking resume.

Maybe some of these boys will be spotted at this camp by a scout and end up somewhere more "impressive"
