So after a few weeks of doing this mock draft it is time for the fifth and final one. Weeks of
speculation have come to this as tomorrow the league will hold its annual draft. I've gone back and
forth for weeks over how teams will pick tomorrow and there is a chance I may be right about a few
of them.
Berkeley Sports Blog recently spoke with 2010 Ga signee Andrew Wiedeman, a product of the
Cal men's program.

Got a few bits of info to pass along to you for Thursday's draft. First up I should have an
updated/final Mock Draft later tonight or early tomorrow. A lot of news from the Combine has
changed up the order quite a bit from things I've read, heard and spoken to folks around the league
about. So stay tuned for that.
First off, sorry for the lack of updates today. I've had quite a busy day around these parts but
I wanted to pass along what just dropped into my inbox not to long ago, the final rosters for this
year's MLS Combine.
Major League Soccer has announced the full roster for both this year's Generation adidas class
and the updated MLS Combine rosters.
One thing we learned from last year's SuperDraft is that you can find quality talent in the
draft still. This year's draft should be no different from last years in terms of talent that we
will see produce this coming season in Major League Soccer.
All the 16 clubs have different needs going into Thursday's draft as well.

contract in the coming weeks - be it Major League Soccer, another North American league, or
overseas - Audley armed with the self-belief that he can play at the next level is ready to begin
his professional career.

Frank Klopas and the Fire technical staff committed highway robbery yesterday. Not only did the
Fire pick up Corben Bone and Kwame Watson-Siriboe in the draft much, much later than they were
projected to go, but they also began to fill two of the team's bigger needs in the process.
Men's soccer at the University of Notre Dame is an appealing option for many of the nation's most
gifted prep players. One can obtain an education from a first-rate academic institution, play with
some of the collegiate game's most accomplished coaches and players at elite facilities in the Big
East Conference and use your play on the field as a springboard to the professional game.
Players:
Olukorede Aiyegbusi (North Carolina State University)
Kris Banghart (University of Denver)
Teal Bunbury (University of Akron)
Ben Clack (St. John's University)
Dilly Duka (Rutgers University)
David Estrada (University of California - Los Angeles)
Two-Boys Gumede (University of Alabama - Birmingham)
Brooks Haggerty (University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill)
Kyle Nakazawa (University of California - Los Angeles)
Mike Pezza (University of Connecticut)

Jason Yeisley (Penn State University)
Amobi Okugo (University of California - Los Angeles)
Breakdown:
Attention will be on Generation adidas and senior MLS signings - Duka, Stahl, and Bunbury - also
watch out for midfielders Warner and Pezza.
Penn State forward
Jason Yeisley will competing against a deep forward class at this
weekend's MLS Combine. Yeisley, one of the nation's top scholar athletes as the 2009 men's soccer

to the brink of a Big Ten title.

I was just passed this link from a reader which actually confirmed an email I got over the
weekend regarding a possible trade by Toronto FC. Soccer America is reporting that Toronto FC is
wanting to possibly trade up in this week's SuperDraft to get Canadian international and this
year's Hermann trophy winner Teal Bunbury.
MLS Insider just posted this video with the new GM of the New York Red Bulls Eric Soler.
I'll admit after listening to this and after talking with several people over the weekend that
are at the Combine I am beginning to change my stance with how I think New York will pick in this
draft. I've been saying for a while now that I think Dilly Duka will go number two but it appears
the Red Bulls and Soler are actually going to pick a bit smarter then that and take their chances
to get Duka later in the first round.
We will be adding links all day. Keep posted.

With the draft set to get started in less than 20 minutes, it's about time I started live

which contains four rounds and 64 picks. I'll be watching the event live on ESPN2 beginning at 1

The 2010 MLS SuperDraft is finally over. The dust has settled on another year's draft and just
as always there were some big winners and then there were some losers. I wanted to post this piece
last night but I felt that I really needed to take a bit of time away from the draft to really give
it an honest look.
Alexi Lalas and John Harkes give us their take on the draft.
Agree with most of what these two said. Agree with Lalas' take on RSL too.

I'm sure many of you have heard of Megabus, the bus company that offers really low fares to and
from cities across the country. And if you've heard of Megabus, you've probably heard that they
offer free wi-fi on all of their buses. Well I'm currently on a Megabus (going to St. Louis for the
weekend) and there is no Internet connection.
