Ready or not, the college soccer season is upon us with the regular season officially kicking off today. With the Philadelphia Union playing well, it’s hard to even think about the SuperDraft. But unlike early this year when the Union didn’t have a pick in the first two rounds that were staged in Philadelphia, the Union have a natural first round pick currently in their pocket.
Yes, the talent in the SuperDraft pool isn’t what it once was with so many players going the MLS academy route. But considering Jack Elliott’s recent run of form — and the other two previous SuperDraft picks on the back line in Ray Gaddis and Keegan Rosenberry — it’s not a completely fruitless exercise.
