TennZip Posted December 20, 2023 Report Share Posted December 20, 2023 I hope that Joel Sangwa can catch on with an MLS team. There were 87 players drafted and Joel was not drafted. There are not 87 players that are better than Joel. Zips had 3 underclassmen drafted in the 2nd round. All of them have the option to come back to school.....or to pursue their pro teams.
