Flint City Bucks are really targeting their 5th National championship this year. They are building a very strong team. 3 of the players drafted last December will play this season for Flint. One of them also a Canadian.....Malik Henry that was drafted by CF Montreal. Since Flint normally plays with 2 CM .....maybe we will se a Canadian midfield @ Flint !

17 goals in 17 months! Not bad for a box to box.....

That's it, in August goes back to college. The relevant issue here is that Flint is the club in US that places more players in MLS (this year were 6) and is the club with more USL2 titles.....and since Hugo was already in the last eligible players draft list....playing for Flint and making a good season increases dramatically the probability of being drafted this coming December.....

Not exactly. Most of them (at least the best) compete additional 3 to 4 months in USL2. 50 of the drafted players played USL2 this year. On the other side if the freshmen are good they play as much as seniors and sometimes even more....and we have good Canadian examples in the last 5 years like Tajon Buchanan (one of the highest profile players today that played NCAA ). Regarding the quality of universities you have everything but most part of the players that were drafted came from very good schools like Georgetown, Duke or Stanford ...all of them with multiple players drafted. https://www.mlssoccer.com/superdraft/news/mls-superdraft-10-recent-gems

Pape Mar Boye is out of the Superdraft. Rumours he will sign in Europe

Not sure. They are strong candidates to be on the eligible list but being sophomores is not so evident they can be drafted. But if not, in the next 2 years they will be strong candidates

Ben is a great GK and Tavares is a box to box CM (good defending and has goal). Regarding Tavares I you can find several videos from his Youtube page. Regarding 2023 you can find a video not only from college but also from USL2 games where he played for Thunder Bay where he got some prizes. Leave link here: Also regarding Ben I leave 2023 video highlights: They were both part of U20 CMNT youth program
