fknbuflobo Posted December 31, 2016 Report Share Posted December 31, 2016 52 minutes ago, TennZip said: http://www.draftutopia.com/2017mlsmockdraftround4.html this one guy does mock drafts for basketball, football and MLS he projects that Danilo will be drafted in round 4 That seems about right to me. He is a long shot to make an MLS roster. Most likely find himself on a USL squad in 2017. He has good size, some speed, understands the game well, good in the air, very good 1v1 tackler. Concussion history remains a concern. I am definitely rooting for this all around swell guy. Me thinks the result in Indiana may have been different had he played. #ZipForever⚽️❤‼ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Danilo but I would be absolutely stunned if he was chosen in the 2nd round. another site had Danilo being chosen near the middle of the 4th round. Since Brad did not receive an invite to the MLS combine, hopefully, he did well at the Midwest combine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is good news for the former zips like Aodhan Quinn, Eric Stevenson and Victor Souto and others that will be playing in the USL in 2017.

Zip_ME87 Posted January 8, 2017 Report Share Posted January 8, 2017 For those interested, the Combine competitions kickoff at 4:15 pm ET today (with additional matches on Tuesday and Thursday). All are being streamed live. Danilo Radjen is on Team Control. I cannot find Jonathan Lewis on any of the team rosters. Not sure if he's not playing, or if they just haven't added the late additions to the public roster listings. http://www.mlssoccer.com/post/2017/01/03/mls-player-combine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zip_ME87 Posted January 11, 2017 Report Share Posted January 11, 2017 (edited) Jonathan Lewis was mentioned a number of times yesterday during the MLS Combine match between Team Control & Team Tango. Some comments that his stock has improved...maybe in top 3. I would love to see TimbersFC get him but would also be happy if he goes to CrewSC so that we can see him in Columbus with Wil Trapp. I doubt that he falls to 10 for the Timbers, and I think they need defenders. CrewSC at 5 is possible, but may be a stretch. He is looking good. He could be another who rises quickly like DeAndre Yedlin. By the way, they also commented that Jonathan was trialing in Europe while working out the GA deal. Good for him. Obviously, no takers yet, at least not any that he would have wanted, but who knows where he might be headed after a few good years in MLS. I hate losing Jonathan from the Zips, but if he can rise like DeAndre, I'd be extremely happy. He's already on the U20's as were DeAndre and Wil. I'd love to see Jonathan get called in with full USMNT in a year or so. I think Pulisic, Nagbe, and Lewis could be quite dynamic together. I'd love to add Trapp to that mix, too.

Zip_ME87 Posted January 11, 2017 Report Share Posted January 11, 2017 (edited) Danilo was not mentioned by the announcers yesterday, to my knowledge. However, for what I saw, I thought he had a great match vs Team Tango. I don't think teams but huge stock in these matches, but they definitely watch. On the video yesterday, I saw many MLS coaching staffs in the stands at the Stub Hub Center (in the loges, of course)...DC United, SoundersFC, Dynamo, NE Revolution,..., CrewSC (Berhalter & Co.), and Timbers FC (including Pablo Moreira, Cameron Knowles, and I think Caleb was sitting in front of Pablo but the view of him was obscured by a handrail). Danilo going in the 2nd round would be excellent. Edited January 11, 2017 by Zip_ME87 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zip_ME87 Posted January 12, 2017 Report Share Posted January 12, 2017 I guess that I may need to be prepared for this...(a slip to #10 would work for me) Parchman: MLS SuperDraft 2017 Predictions A Generation adidas player will slip to the second round This isn’t quite as unprecedented as it may sound. As recently as 2015, NC State defender Conor Donovan slid to the first pick of the second round, where Orlando City poached him. If teams either don’t value or don’t have enough information on a Generation adidas player, the roster benefit is more or less perceived as moot. And while most Generation adidas players have been well-scouted, this is a particularly interesting class when it comes to unknowns. A few Generation adidas players are more or less locks to go high. Miles Robinson, Abu Danladi, Jackson Yueill and Shamit Shome all look to be top 10 picks in most any circumstance. Even if one slips beyond the threshold most expect - we’re talking top five or six here - it’s extremely unlikely they fall much farther. That said, there are two who don’t quite have the same profile. Adonijah Reid, a Canadian Generation adidas signee alongside Shome, is a 17-year-old forward who more or less got his first major exposure during the MLS Combine this week. And Akron attacker Jonathan Lewis was a late Generation adidas signee with arguably less buzz than anyone else here. Both are quality players, but on such short notice, don’t be surprised to see one slide out of the first round in favor of more heavily scouted players.
