The split logo on that scarf is much bigger than I thought it was.

JK looks the best.

Got to be frank this draft stuff is foreign to me. You know where you are paying massive amounts of money for players.

Very american... luckily it is on its last leg because it doesn't fit soccer. Lots of the better players stayed in school, signed with MLS as homegrown players or went to Europe.

First draft i have ever watched where i actually have some interest.

Great job by Landon, usually he's awkward haha

I'm wondering how much the hair had to do with that pick? In any case, welcome!

 

[sbrylski]

Seems like a good pick. We definitely need more bodies at striker, and he's got potential. He's also a great distributor, with 10 G, 12 A in 21 games last year. He should play perfectly off of Villa and provide a big, holding target up front.

He'll likely rotate in with Mullins at first, between the two one of them should step up and take hold of the role.

 

[Nicholas Constantino]

Not a bad pick. Should have went for Besler or Bono though.

Not too familiar with college players. Does anyone have a report on Shelton and Brandt? Thanks.

 

[Tom in Fairfield CT]

Shelton is a big 6'3" forward. Brandt is a left midfielder converted at the combine to left back. Supposedly has a sick left foot.

My recap from today's 2015 MLS SuperDraft:
http://nycfcwatch.sportsblog.com/po...ty_fc_superdraft_recap__rounds_1_and_2__.html

Although roughly 1 out of every 4 SuperDraft selections gets cut from his team within the first year of his contract, I believe both of these guys have a decent chance of surviving. Mainly because we are an expansion team and depth is key but also because Khiry could be a star, if he stays healthy, and Brandt's versatility is rare.

--- Khiry Shelton's Highlights(Short)

--- Connor Brandt's Highlights

Excuse my ignorance but who are these youngn's again?

 

[NewYorkCityWatch]

They were selected today in the 2015 MLS SuperDraft.

--- Connor Brandt's Highlights

A few things on Brandt -

1. I love his film. He does a good job of creating space for himself, and is confident passing long.
2. Those fields that he played on look like total shit.
3. Kid looks like he's got a bit of swagger to him, and I like that.

 

[Malatesta]

Thanks for the vids man.

 

[BlueWarrior]

wonder who the best remaining picks are, del campo is deff one. Hoilett is another good option. And shawn Mclaws is a good right back option. And idk if aaron simmons was taken? but he is a good option as well for center back cover.

 

[Ahab_Flanders]

They both look promising and were unexpected picks (which is par for the course with JK). In Kreis we trust.

i can see shelton getting a usmnt call up 2 years from now...i hope the club keeps this kid around. i hate when some players come for like a year then get traded.
