Ceus drafted by Colorado

[GreatDanes06]

big congrats to Steward. He was drafted in the third round of the draft by the Rapids. Even more amazing, former Great Dane goalie Bouna Coundoul will be his mentor. amazing.

Coundoul actually rejected Colorado's contract offer and is looking to go to Europe. Colorado acquired a vet goalie today too, Matt Pickens, who was with Chicago and had a quick spell with QPR in the English Championship.

The Rapids have Preston Burpo too, so Cues might be third string for a while...but being third string and riding it out is how Coundoul got his shot.

 

Soccer is by far my second favorite thing to follow, especially in the AE. Cues is blessed with being very tall and athletic, guys like him are always gonna get a shot at being a pro (helps that he won 11 games last year too). The MLS Draft this year was actually pretty deep, especially when guys like Tobin from UVM and Schulz from BU can't even get a sniff at the combine, and I think both those guys are pros.
