Adidas Combine teams, players, and dates announced. http://mlsnet.com/content/03/mls1203combine.html Three guys from Maryland on there, Buete, Ibrahim, and Stammler. Just in case you don't remember these guys were fairly well scouted by United coaching staff. Also my boy Josh Gros is on there form Rutgers, kind of guy I think we need. Big East offensive player of the year.
I hope DC United has a coach by then! ps-Gros scored two goals in a losing cause against Akron, so he may be worth a look. But DC United coaches have to keep an eye out for the kid from Coastal Carolina.
Barring trading for a pretty high draft pick, he'll be long gone by the time United picks. I hope Gros is better than the last Rutgers player we picked - Dennis Ludgwig.
In other news, United Technical Director Dave Kasper announced today that he will be on vacation in the Bahamas from Jan. 10-15...
the combine also includes two ivy leaguers: brown midfielder adom crew, the 2003 ivy league player of the year and a columbia, md, native; and penn's matthew haefner, who posted the 6th-lowest GAA in division I in 2002 and spent time training with DC United as well as FC Sochaux last summer.
