SBI MLS Draft Big Board (Version 3.0)

SBI MLS DRAFT BIG BOARD 3.0 (*-Underclassman)

1. *DARLINGTON NAGBE, Akron, Forward/Midfielder

Speedy and skillful, some think he can be better than Steve Zakuani and Teal Bunbury.

2. *PERRY KITCHEN, Akron, Defensive Midfielder

Just a freshman, and not a lock to leave school, Kitchen is regarded by some as Akron's best long-term pro prospect.

3. *ZAC MACMATH, Maryland, Goalkeeper

Top-flight goalkeeper is a U.S. Under-20 starter.

4. *KOFI SARKODIE, Akron, Right Back

Best attacking fullback to come out of college in years. Another U.S. Under-20 player.

5. OMAR SALGADO, Gen Adidas, Forward

A teenage 6-foot-3 target striker with good feet. Interest in him is growing and he should be a Top Five pick.

6. *ZAREK VALENTIN, Akron, Right Back/Centerback

Still young, but skillful centerback projects to some as a top-notch right back.

7. *WILL BRUIN, Indiana, Forward

Strong striker who has been one of the best finishers in college, he's a safe bet to go high.

8. *DAVID BINGHAM, California, Goalkeeper

There is a growing debate over who is the better pro prospect, Bingham or MacMath. It is unlikely Generation adidas signs two goalkeepers, but Bingham making it a tough decision.

9. *DARREN MATTOCKS, Akron, Forward

Akron's leading scorer is just a freshman, and not a lock to come out, but if he does he's an early first-rounder.

10. *DILLON POWERS, Notre Dame, Midfielder

A star on the U.S. Under-20 national team, he slips on Big Board because of rumors he's staying in school.

11. *COREY HERTZOG, Penn State, Forward

Fast, fearless and a clutch finisher, Hertzog has quietly climbed the charts this fall. Philly Union making a play for him as a Homegrown! Player.

12. A.J. SOARES, California, Central Defender

Best centerback in the draft, he could be this year's Tim Ream.

13. ANTHONY AMPAIPITAKWON, Akron, Midfielder

His versatility, quickness and passing touch make him a very attractive prospect.

14. MICHAEL FARFAN, North Carolina, Midfielder

Arguably the most talented senior in this draft, Farfan is a skilled attacking midfielder.

15. *ANDREW WENGER, Duke, Central Defender/Central Midfield

Scouts love his skill, size and versatility, but Wenger seems more likely to stay in school. If he came out, he'd be in Top Ten.

16. JUSTIN MERAM, Michigan, Forward

A fearless forward who has shown a great ability to go at and beat defenders, Meram's stock has risen faster in the past month than any player in the nation.

17. *CASEY TOWNSEND, Maryland, Forward

A top-notch prospect two years ago, Townsend had a strong comeback season to earn a place here, though he slips a bit amid rumblings that this year's Generation adidas class will be small.

18. *MATT KASSEL, Maryland, Midfielder

Opinions vary widely on the Red Bull Academy product, but with the Red Bulls expressing interest in signing him to a Homegrown Player deal, Kassel may skip the draft and join New York.

19. JASON HERRICK, Maryland, Forward

Best senior forward in the draft is mature, quick and a good finisher.

20. JALIL ANIBABA, North Carolina, Defender

An athletic centerback who is 6-feet tall, but still dominates in the air.

21. COLE GROSSMAN, Duke, Midfielder

Overshadowed by Wenger and Duke forward Ryan Finley, but Grossman has won over his share of scouts.

22. STEVEN MCCARTHY, North Carolina, Midfielder

A 6-foot-4 central midfielder who scouts have had eye on since his days at Santa C! lara.

23. *BRIAN OWNBY, Virginia, Forward

If not for injury concerns, this blazing fast striker would be near the top of the board. At this point he looks like a safer bet to stay in school.

24. JEFF ATTINELLA, South Florida, Goalkeeper

Third best goalkeeper in the pool, Attinella is a top senior, but may slip late in the draft because teams aren't really looking for GKs in the early rounds.

25. BOBBY WARSHAW, Stanford, Midfielder/Defender

Tough and talented defender who looks more suited to defensive midfield role in MLS.

26. *MICHAEL NANCHOFF, Akron, Left winger

A quality left midfielder who has enjoyed a strong season at Akron, Nanchoff is a GA long-shot who would be in the Top 20 if he were coming out.

27. DANIEL KEAT, Dartmouth, Midfielder

A polished soccer player with skill and work rate to be effective two-way player.

28. *MICHAEL TETTEH, UCSB, Left back/Left winger

Scouts drool over the thought of a speedy left back with good attacking qualities, but injuries are a concern and his chances of being signed to a Generation adidas deal are fading.

29. *LUIS SILVA, UCSB, Midfielder

A skillful two-way central midfielder is reportedly on the Generation adidas radar, though my sources tell me that isn't the case. On ability, Silva is probably closer to early to mid-20s.

31. ASHLEY MCINNES,Tulsa,Forward/Midfielder

32. RICH BALCHAN, Indiana, Midfielder

33. MICHAEL BOXALL, UCSB, Defender

34. AMANI WALKER, Forward, UC-Irvine

35. J.T. MURRAY, Louisville, Defender

36. BRYAN MEREDITH, Monmouth, Goalkeeper

37. ERNESTO CARRANZA, Sacramento State, Forward/Midfielder

38. JOSUE SOTO, SMU, Midfielder

39. EDDIE ABA! BIO, Nor th Carolina, Defender

40. RYAN KINNE, Monmouth, Forward

TYLER LASSITER, North Carolina State, Defender

BRAYAN MARTINEZ, Seton Hall, Forward/Midfielder

JUAN LEONE CRUZ, SMU, Defender

GREG KING, UConn, Defender

The Hottest Tour de France 2010 Podium Girls

Image
The annual Tour de France is among the most grueling races in all of sports. But every summer, hundreds of cyclists brave the plains, the mountains, the sun and the rain of France (and often the surrounding countries) to complete the 3,500-plus kilometer trek. But why? Fame? Sure, names like Lance Armstrong, Greg LeMond and defending champion Alberto Contador will go down in the annals of cycling history. Money? Certainly, the winners make some dough from winning and from the sponsorship deals that can result. The challenge of it all? No doubt, there are some competitors just looking to see where they rank among the top athletes in the sport. But there's another reason to race. If you win, you get to stand on the podium with some of the world's most beautiful women.
