2 out of 55 invited Seniors are Canadian, and they are both products of the academy.

Skylar Thomas - Syracuse - Centerback - Pickering, ON
(http://cuse.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=10919&path=msoccer)Nikola Paunic - UCF - Centerback - Toronto, ON
(http://www.gousfbulls.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=7700&ATCLID=209170961)
Could be players that TFC could use for the USLpro team or even surprise starters.


Here is the full list of invited players (http://www.mlssoccer.com/superdraft/2015/news/article/2014/12/11/mls-announces-55-players-invited-2015-adidas-mls-player-combine)

Also worth noting that Skylar Thomas' CB partner and fellow academy product Jordan Murrell (http://cuse.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=10911&path=msoccer) is also a senior but was not invited. (although he played more games)

Like Ives mentioned, it's disappointing that Jordan Murrell isn't there as well.

Jordan Murrell is the ideal type of player we will see on the USL Pro team.

I’m told Murrell is NOT a TFC homegrown, just left out of Combine. Remember MLS also failed to invite Ray Gaddis & (initially) Chris Duvall


If this is true, these homegrown rules are confusing.....and if he isn't eligible, how is Jay Chapman?

He'd be an ideal backup for Morrow. He's an assist machine.

First mock draft is live. This one has us picking Skylar Thomas, Tyler Miller and Nick Besler.

Had this explained to me. Chapman has been practicing with TFC during the summers.

We can still offer Murrell a contract, as can all the Canadian teams (and other MLS teams if im not mistaken)

If you want anything asked, send the question to them on twitter.

Neil Davidson is normally good for that.

Such a dumb rule. There must be some other fine detail that pertains the years spent at the club that isn't known.

This will result in a lot of TFC HGPs getting drafted by other teams. And I'm sure it will start this year...
