Bison44 Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 The GA tag sort of earmarks you for development too. He wont count against the MLS cap..and the GA kids usually get pretty decent wages. I sure hope he goes somewhere that has holes in their backline. johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadaFan123 Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 (edited) https://www.mlssoccer.com/news/2023-mls-superdraft-top-prospects-by-position A Canadian striker is listed as top forward available but it’s not Johnson. So seems that we’ll have at least 4 guys drafted tomorrow and hopefully more. Top Drawer Soccer, the experts on college footy, dropped their mock draft. They have Afrifa at #5, Bombito at #13, Johnston at #20 and Johnson at #28. If 1-2 guys can become established we’re laughing.

Ah that's cool hoping one or few of those 19 can become legit players that improves MLS, CPL, and most important CMNT teams. Seen a few mocks and 1 to 3 Canadian players picked in the first round. Going to be interesting to see how it goes. Last question any Can GK? Alright, I went on to click the article that was posted earlier I can read it and I'll stop being lazy...

maccaliam Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 Justin McLean at Georgia State is a Canadian who had a pretty good year. He came out of the Atlanta United academy. “In addition to our top-two defensive talents, Georgia State’s Justin McLean had a standout freshman season at the #10 and wing positions for his new club. He was one of a trio of freshmen from Atlanta’s academy to make an immediate impact, but he is the one who deserves the most praise. McLean played over 1000 minutes across all 19 matches, starting all but the first two matches. He led the Panthers with seven assists, tying for third in the Sun Belt. He also scored three goals, his first coming against Winthrop and his other two coming in a game-winning brace against James Madison. He also tallied two assists in each of those matches. McLean’s strong debut campaign earned him Sun Belt Offensive Player of the Week recognition in week 4 and a ranking of #40 on Top Drawer Soccer's top 100 Freshmen-Midseason list and #58 in the end-of-season list.” https://www.dirtysouthsoccer.com/2022/12/28/23520958/atlanta-united-academy-alumni-2022-college-season-recap-freshmen PegCityCam and MM3/MM2/MM 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
