1) Ethan Finlay F Creighton - An exceptionally quick forward that can also play wide midfield. He's got a nose for the goal and a powerful shot.

2) Nick DeLeon MF Louisville - Outstanding player on both sides of the ball; reminds me of a young DeRo with his vision, bite and ability to score and assist

3) Matthew Hedges D North Carolina - Tall, smart center back with good leaping ability and passes better than average. Needs to work on his left foot

4) Casey Townsend F Maryland - A prolific goal scorer with either foot and an unbelievable ability to get high to score with his head. Works effectively with others.

5) Austin Berry D Louisville - Strong, center back with exceptional leadership skills and the knack for being in the right place.

6) Greg Jordan MF Creighton - Graduating in December, so moved from non-senior list. Terrific tackler, passer and in the air. Superior understanding on how to play - plays within himself.

7) Kevan George MF Central Florida - Thin, tall athletic defensive midfield reminescent of Shalrie Joseph (at Saint John's). Valued passer with the ability to get forward. Reads game effectively

8) Tommy Meyer D Indiana - Smart, solid, tall defender with composure on the ball and an uncanny ability to read the game

9) Tony Cascio MF Connecticut - Tall, strong fast right midfielder with good crosses and hard on the ball.

10) Ryan Meara GK Fordham - Best goalkeeper in the draft by far. Good hands, positioning and reliable - started almost every game for 4 years until a minor quad injury early in his senior year. Moves exceptionally in the box.
