I think Reo-Coker would be worth a punt. Will their academy players be in the draft?

Only the ones who graduated to the senior squad. I read (somewhere) that the Chivas USA academy will continue to be run for another 6 months, probably in the interests of being fair to the kids who are playing there to let them find other places to go.
 
I don't get why MLS isn't letting NYCFC and OC pick before the rest of the league. They need players more than anyone. Flip a coin to see who goes 1st and 2nd, then random order for the rest of the league.
 
NYCFC will not pass. No matter what there are some players with MLS experience and will at the very least be worth a shot in camp. If we can land in the top 5 then it will be a huge success. Honestly, I want one of their 2 homegrown kids. It would help with the cap and could pay dividends down the road. Caleb Calvert is a good young striker that could learn a lot from Villa.

I completely agree:
We currently have 5 players.
The expansion draft would bring a maximum of 10. (Most of them are fringe players for other clubs).
Re-entry maybe 2.
Superdraft: around 4. Most of the times late rounders don't get a contract after camp.

That's still a small pool of players to make a final roster.
 
The description of Delgado by Goat Parade intrigues me. Homegrown, US with a lot of flexibility as to where he can play would be really useful for NYCFC, since we don't know yet where our holes will be. Add to that the youth and upside and he could be very valuable.

Yeah I agree I am starting to lean towards wanting the 2 homegrowns more and more. I certainly think Delgado would be a great asset to our club. I also like the potential of Calvert but I don't see him contributing for another year or maybe more. There also might be a chance to trade up or get some more picks if the club likes some of these guys. I can't imagine the price being astronomical.
 
Meh. This just seems to be the way MLS conducts business. Everything done behind closed doors and they'll make an announcement when they're good and ready.

If you thought NYCFC internet traffic was a cluster f*** yesterday, wait until they announce we won the lottery and got the #1 pick!
