There are players from D2 and NAIA. Three of four a year maybe will get drafted from that level.

Is it only NCAA 1st division players that make it into MLS drafts? How come no 2nd division or NAIA?

I just wanted to ask why Mike Graczyk is so low. I guess I can understand the low conference competition, but he has had quality games against the SMUs and the UCLAs as well. Anyone who has seen this guy play has got to put him at least in the top 10. He constantly made quality saves and kept the Lobos in every single match.

The UMass keeper, Simmons is his name, is surpurb. But he’s not in this year’s draft.

No appearance from the UMASS goalie? He was superb from what I saw. Thoughts?
