Evans: "Woohoo! Seattle picked me! Now I never have to wear this day-glo Glidden Electric Yellow jersey again! Wait . . what? Rave what?"

SoundersFC.com says to check back at 'noon' for the players drafted. That is also the time of a phone conference with the media, so it could be that we'll have to wait another two hours...

Update: Ian Joy looks to be off to Europe. Sturgis has been injured quite often and RSL fans say he's good when healthy.

Initial immediate response... sad to see no Prideaux... sad to have the guy named Vagenas... very happy with Jaqua, Evans, and Parke (as long as we can work out his contract)... and kinda sad we didn't take a good Keeper to flip to LA. But where are the maybe-exciting-stars like Doe, Carr, and Johann Smith?

First blush - great, except all the warnings about Khano Smith worry me.

A bit of a puzzler: Jarrod Smith of TFC is a New Zealander. Toronto also have a Johann Smith, a speedy American. We'll be watching to see if there was an error there.

If it does turn out to be Johann Smith, I think it was a great draft... if not... probably just an OK draft, with several questions to answer.
