So I know there's an entire forum for College level WoSo, but it's super dense and I can't seem to find any sort of "top players" thread, so I figured I'd start this here. I know a lot of people're saying that Dunn'll go to Washington with the first pick, but is there any chance that we'll have another Kristie Mewis situation and Crystal'll go later? When should we expect to see Kealia Ohai go? What other big names do you figure'll show up in the draft?
Mock Draft (first round): 1.) Crystal Dunn (Washington Spirit) (UNC) 2.) Julie Johnston (Chicago Red Stars) (Santa Clara) 3.) Vanessa DiBernardo (Chicago Red Stars) (Illinois) 4.) Morgan Marlborough (FCKC) (Santa Clara) 5.) Kealia Ohai (Houston DynaGal) (UNC) 6.) Maya Hayes (Sky Blue FC) 7.) Cloee Colohan (Portland Thorns) (BYU) 8.) Jazmyne Reeves (Boston Breakers) (Virginia Tech) 9.) Nicholette DiGiacomo (WNY Flash) (Denver) ----------------------------------------------------- Filling out the Top 10 (first pick of the 2nd round) 10.) Kassey Kallman (Seattle Reign) (Florida State) *Jonelle Filigno gets allocated to Sky Blue, to replace their Melanie Booth allocation. Filigno plays for Rutgers.
http://www.allwhitekit.com/?p=11761 This is a pretty deep list of the top players that could be available. It'll be updated after the season. You can look through the 2014 Mock Draft thread for other peoples opinions as well.
You can almost bet your boots that DiBernardo will go to the Red Stars in the college draft. She played for them a couple of years ago when they played in the NWSL Elite and the year before that. She has played for Rory Dames and played at Benedictine. As well as being a Chicago girl. You can take your money to Vegas and safely bet on this happening.
Yeah, and they aren't going to risk trading down in the draft. It's too risky to try to pick her up at #5 or #6. Might as well take her with the #3 pick.
