Darwin Jones was among the Seattle Sounders' recent cuts from preseason training camp, but that doesn't mean he'll be going very far. The 19-year-old has joined the University of Washington's 2012 recruiting class, giving the Huskies four Sounders Academy products in this class alone. Jones will be accompanied by Michael Gallagher, Ian Lange and Dominique Dismuke.

With the January camp behind us we take a look at the 21 players on the roster and give you our winners, losers, and those that maintained the status quo.

Midfielder Sinead Farrelly has officially agreed to terms to return to the Philadelphia Independence for the 2012 season. Farrelly was a standout at the University of Virginia where she was a second team All-American and a Hermann Trophy finalist. The Havertown-native was Philadelphia's first pick (second overall) in last season's draft.

The MLS SuperDraft is Thursday, January 12 at 12pm ET (ESPN2, ESPN3). The Philadelphia Union have the 13th, 32nd and 35th picks this year, and nobody knows what the team will do. PSP runs down some of the options.

Tony Cascio

What: Winger

Why: Some experts believe the Union will look to solidify their wing play by adding a player like UConn's Tony Cascio.

After having an outstanding sophomore season at Florida State University, Kassey Kallman has received yet another call to the U.S. U-20 Women's National Team. Kallman, a Woodbury, Minn. native, was last called into a U-20 camp in April of 2011 when the team trained at Home Depot Center. This time coach Steve Swanson is gathering [.

Editor's note: At the end of the 2010 season, we posted a series of season reviews of every Philadelphia Union player. Over the next several weeks PSP continues with a review of the 2011 season.

Zach Pfeffer was signed as the Union's first Homegrown player before the beginning of the 2011 season at the ripe old age of 15.

It didn't take long for Adam Cristman to realize that he was in the midst of something special this year.

Only weeks into his first season as a member of the Los Angeles Galaxy, the fifth-year striker witnessed something he hadn't seen since his rookie year: the hallmarks of a team destined for greatness.

The story of this week is Yedlin, who continues to be a huge factor as a freshman on one of the top teams in the country. Sounders are also popping up on some of the best Division 2 teams in the country.

#4 Akron - DeAndre Yedlin
(9/24 - 3-0 W @ Tulsa Assist), (9/28 - 3-1 W v Ohio St Goal)

As we noted last week, Yedlin has involved himself in a goal in every game the undefeated Zips have played this season other than their one scoreless draw.

. My extraordinary younger twin brother, Zach Pfeffer, is able to manage the stress of being a teenager as well as the life of being a professional athlete. He travels more than most people, let alone 16-year-old kids, and constantly most put his social affairs on hold to pursue his career.

UCLA midfielder Kelyn Rowe knows a thing or two about trying to live up to high expections.

I've gotten a couple of emails about the shifting sands of MLS conference alignment.

Houston in the East? I know, I know. Houston says "East" about like Kim Kardashian says "modest."

But honestly, I just cannot work up a good volley of indignation over this one.

After strengthening their defense with additions of Ryan Cochrane and Didier Domi so far this off-season, the Revolution will likely turn to Thursday's SuperDraft to bolster its offense. Holding the sixth overall the 2011 MLS Superdraft, the Revolution may need to look no further than University of Maryland forward Jason Herrick.

The USA's 25-player camp that opened today features three players who received their first-ever call-ups to the full team.

Jordan Angeli (U-20s in Russia '06) had an excellent season with the Boston Breakers during her rookie year, scoring seven goals, second only to Kelly Smith.

NEW YORK, NY No one can accuse Bob Bradley of cutting corners in his quest to find a striker who can actually score goals. Now the search has extended all the way to Siberia.
