When Perry Solkowski first tweeted that WFC2 would be folded in favour of an affiliation with USL expansion side Fresno F.C I was concerned but I saw some merit in the plan. Solkowski stated that there would likely be about 8-9 players loaned to Fresno. When looking at the WFC2 roster, of the players who didn’t already have a first team deal, only about 8 of them had a serious chance at making it to MLS. Was it really worth losing a ton of money on the off chance that the Thomas Sanners and Dominick Zators of the world might suddenly set the world on fire?
