TennZip Posted December 20, 2024 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2024 https://www.beaconjournal.com/story/sports/mls/2024/12/20/emil-jaaskelainen-mls-superdraft-pick-st-louis-sc-akron-zips-soccer/76945512007/ Incidentally, Akron has had at least one player chosen in the SuperDraft in 16 of the last 17 seasons. “A lot of players coming into their senior year of high school have aspirations of going pro,” Zips coach Jared Embick said. “To continue to get the good players, you have to show you can get guys to the next level. To have the continuity to do that every year is extremely important to the program and our ability to track players.” “In their(St. L) system of play, they need a target,” Embick said. “They need a guy that can get on the end of things and score. When you look at St. Louis last year, they lacked a goal scorer that stepped up and helped carry the team. I think it’s smart of them to take the best goal scorer eligible in the draft.” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Z.I.P. Posted December 21, 2024 Report Share Posted December 21, 2024 Has anyone seen a complete draft list? If so, could you post a link? Not even on ESPN! And frankly, I never heard a single word about the Superdraft being this early. Was expecting it in early January like past years. No draft camp for players this year -- that's the weird part.

However, all 3 rounds were completed in the same day rather than holding rounds 2 and 3 later.

Zips1991 Posted December 24, 2024 Report Share Posted December 24, 2024 Were Dyson and Malik not eligible for this year's draft because they were drafted last year? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their rights belong to the teams who drafted them last year as I understand MLS rules. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
