I think you did a great job explaining why college soccer helps players get found. But I don’t think the Superdraft helps players get found. If anything, it locks them away
This is what I love about Orlando city, they make sure to take it seriously every year and they also scout some of the absolute best college soccer talent, especially in the striker department. If our academy full of young gems aren’t in the first team, there’s guaranteed to be some good college alumni.
Agreed NCAA soccer will only get better and they need to put more money and attention on it. It’s super high level among the women so it should produce some quality at men’s level as we’ve seen.
Heres the counter point your never going to compete with the European and south American teams with this system it's why the US is irrelevant in international football.
I don't really get it with this guy, never scored double figures in a season (all comps), never made more than 5 assists and only played over 30 games once, at 26 years old.
No bro, this doesn’t translate to soccer. It’s more of the national thing. Buchanon is good because he’s naturally good. He’s got talent. I’ve seen it for a long time.
This is a fucking absurd amount of reverse logic. The reliance on college sports and the false determination of amateurism across all sports in the NCAA is what prevents lower league clubs existing. All of this to defend the investments of the owners of the sports teams in the US. The draft gives them the best talent for being bad.
If we didn’t have such a dumb fucking system, and let clubs pop up across the country and earn their spot through play, even less players would fall through the cracks.
The college football scene is why America will never be contenders for a world cup. In South America or Europe he would have been picked up by the time he was 10, then trained under a pro club.
Ahh yes. The best scouting system in the world, the United States! Unmatched experience here! Thank goodness for our pay-to-play academies, otherwise we wouldn’t need our poor players to have to win a full ride scholarship to a top university in order to get noticed! Clearly this system is the best at creating talent, that’s why Tajon scored a hat trick after not finding success at two other European clubs. I’m a Revs fan, rooting for Tajon’s success, but acting like the US scouting system and experience is “unmatched” by anything you could get elsewhere is actually insane, its very much an active hindrance for our national team

go cuse!
Love the Syracuse jersey let’s go orage
Meh….. He's the exception not the norm. MLS Franchises are right to not care.
Let’s go another thing related to the Revs!!!!!!!!!
Tani Oluwaseyi’s also getting transferred to Villareal too for a price of around $8 million with possible add ons to get up to 11 mil.
Bro I met callum Montgomery. I have a flag signed by him. Good defender in my team
We got McCarthy

Idk man
As a Timbers fan we definitely love Ian Smith and I think we also got Ebobisse from the superdraft once and he was great for us.

I would like to see more college players emerging

Absolutely pathetic.
I mean the other option would just be to let college players sign for anyone as free agents
Again “Canadian “ 🇨🇦

Now just start relegations and promotions so we can see the smaller teams shine, The USL has a bunch of unseen US, Canada, and Mexican talent also
It's not "if" MLS needs college players… It's more about following NWSL where teams have to convince the player to sign with their club
