  • Draft talk

    Once again Ives is providing some great combine coverage. If you are into all things draft, I recommend surfing on over. Another great resource is Joe Mauceri's Pro Player Pipeline. Mauceri likely watches as much college soccer as anyone in the world and has provided a very good rating system for several years. You can see his 2011 ratings here.

    He rates three players -- Kofi Sarkodie (Akron), Zarek Valentin (Akron) and Will Bruin (Indiana) -- as can't miss prospects that "should easily make the roster and may get time with the first team in 2011. By the end of the year, could be an impact player."

    An additional 19 players are considered likely to make the team. According to Mauceri those players "could make roster, may take a year or more to get to the first team."

    If you're only interested in Toronto news, I'll have a preview both here and at MLSsoccer.com tomorrow (likely with Paul Mariner's voice). In the meantime, have a listen to this interview with Mariner as captured by Ives.

    It's interesting to note that he didn't rule out trading for a first round pick, but that he also stressed that "his bosses" were looking to build through the academy moving forward.
