Does this mean we signed him? Did I miss an announcement?

He's listed on the roster and I believe he's was a senior and seniors sign deals with MLS before the SuperDraft.

I don't think that second part is accurate. Sporting KC announced their signing of Eric Dick after the draft and he was a senior at Butler.

I'm pretty sure the only players with contracts signed with MLS prior to the draft are Gen Adidas guys.

Will we be comparing him to KC’s Dick his entire career?

I know some seniors signed prior like Thomas Hilliard-Arce who MLS announced as a signed senior.

Very likely. Dick was our top choice. Patrick and Claudio mentioned they wanted Dick if available, but alas they got Jeff.

Phone photoshop skills on point!

Ahh, I didn't know that they gave out senior deals.

Upon further research, it looks like contracts were given to 3 seniors (Hilliard-Arce, Bakero, Mueller)

Let's settle this once and for all:

Jeff Caldwell = 6'3"
SKC's Dick = 6'5"

SKC's Dick is actually larger

Johnson is 6'3" so their Dick is larger than our Johnson too. I'm told that movement in and around the box, as well as handling skills, are more important though.

Well I guess that whole thing is just a big myth then........
