Only Akeem Priestly not selected so far. But is must be sait it was his fault. He got to the MLS combine out of shape and did not perform very well during the combine.

[Hortical]

Yuh sey he was out of shape, and was he recovering from an injury?

[Mac]

Finally A. Priestly drafted.

[Assasin]

OBrien must be getting more than that.

[Jangle]

seeitdeh....that's why me caan rate MLS

[Assasin]

yeah but where else could 4 jamaicans get a chance at pro ball in one league, in only one year? and none of them is not even a regular on the national team.

[Jangle]

Of course I am happy for them, but i am just licking out on MLS itself. Only the franchise holders making money.
