When Major League Soccer teams make their draft picks in Thursday's amateur draft, several
players with local ties are sure to go off the board. You may not have three former Reading United
players go off the board in the first round, as happened last year when that burgeoning soccer
factory churned out C.
Supplemental Draft
The MLS Supplemental Draft takes place at 2pm ET today. There is plenty of talent available this
year since the SuperDraft was shortened to two rounds. The Union have the 13th selection.
Local club Reading United AC have five players near the top of the Supplemental Draft class:
UPenn midfielder Christian Barreiro, Delaware winger Evans Frimpong, Virginia forward Brian Ownby,
West Virginia defender Eric Schoenle and Creighton keeper Brian Holt.

On Sunday, Union sporting director Diego Gutiérrez was not wrong when he said of the Danny
Califf trade rumors, "Whether he's here tomorrow or not—my guess is he will be." Did anyone think
to ask him if Califf would still be a member of the Union on Tuesday?
