Any idea how many CUSA kids were taken in the CUSA draft? Marshall’s goalie was taken in the first round by LAFC. I am sure others were drafted as well.

CUSA draft? In the MLS Superdraft, so far it is:

#13 - Charlotte
#24 - Marshall
#32 - FIU

Rounds 3-4 happen Monday.

clt says good for marshal! Is this your first player drafted?

No, we had another goalie drafted several years ago. I don’t recall his name but he played for the LA Galaxy I believe.

4th player ever taken in the MLS Draft. The other three:

Byron Carmichael 2003 - 6th Round, 60th overall Kansas City Wizards
Jeremy Ashe 2006 - 4th Round, 46th overall Chicago Fire
Daniel Withrow 2013 - 4th Round, 66th overall Columbus Crew

clt says that is amazing! Glad to see a small school producing an MLS player occasionally!,

HTS says CLT still butt hurt. BTW, that creek is far from pristine, at least at this point. Lol!

Sadly, we won’t have anyone else drafted in the final two rounds this year. We return everyone else from our double C-USA championship, third round NCAA Top Ten (per Soccer America) team.

That's great for your little team. If you continue that sort of thing for another 2 decades you'll be about where Charlotte is now. Of course that's assuming you make at least 2 final fours and 1 national championship game. Oh, and get into the top 5 rankings a few times.

I’m confused. To be “where Charlotte is now”, we’d have to give up one of our championships as Charlotte has never won a CUSA double, drop a thousand off our attendance, make disimprovements to our brand new top-end stadium, have our all-American transfer, and fire our new elite coach.

You all do you. We are Marshall #Flagship.

That post is the biggest load of nothing I've ever seen. Marshalls soccer program is not even in the same universe as Charlotte's, but I admire your OVER confidence.

clt says we are getting ready to build a SSS to further enhance our program,

I can't believe I am talking soccer attendance smack, but you are horribly incorrect here. We average more than your stadium holds. Y'all had a fantastic crowd v WVU though.

clt found the 2018 numbers. Charlotte was 25th in attendance nationwide. marshal not listed in top 50

2018? I don’t know anything about soccer in medieval times. Pretty sure that’s before Marshall invented the sport of soccer in 2019.

It was just a different game in those days. You can't compare statistics from way back in 2018 to 2019 and beyond. Athletes are totally different now.

clt is hearing MLS is considering a team at marshal WV. The fan support and stadium is already there

Jake Griffith Talks To Former Marshall GK Paulo Pita

Looks like the NCAA has a proposal to make soccer a year round sport and mimick the pro level. Non Conference games in the fall and Conference games and NCAA in the spring. Those who follow pro soccer do you think this is a better set up or would you rather keep it as a fall sport (Sept-Dec).
