Seattle Reign Tori Adame – MF/D – North Texas – Played left-back for a North Texas team that had no problems bullying smaller opposition in the region for ages. Might play as a left-winger at this level, but she wasn’t exactly a ...more

Chicago Red Stars Jessy Battelli – D – Denver – Not the typical dominator from day one that usually touches down in Denver but still rounded into a hell of a center-back for the Pioneers, concluding her college career with Summit League...more

NWSL – 2015 Draft Class Top 100 – Bruins, Noles, & Cavs Everywhere
by All White Kit
posted February 11, 2014 at 9:12am

The 2015 class isn’t as deep as this year’s outstanding crop, but there should still be enough to please teams through the first half of the draft, with UCLA, Florida State, and Virginia all producing some serious senior talent this season. In...more

NWSL – 2016 Draft Class Snapshot – Roccaro Leads Underwhelming Class
by All White Kit
posted February 4, 2014 at 8:35am

This class! …is not very good. I’d argue that the only two sure things are Cari Roccaro and Makenzy Doniak, with some reasonably interesting prospects likely to fill out the rest of the first round. Depth falls off a table not soon after thou...more

NWSL – 2014 Draft Review – WNY Flash – Versatility & Value
by All White Kit
posted January 25, 2014 at 1:57pm

Considering they won the regular season title and got to the final last season, that Western New York has been mostly silent in the offseason has not been a surprise. The Flash’s draft strategy was pretty calculated, with the club opting for versat...more

NWSL – 2014 Draft Review – FC Kansas City – Attacking Depth For Days or Too Much of A Good Thing?
by All White Kit
posted January 25, 2014 at 1:51pm

FC Kansas City’s been portrayed as one of the unequivocal winners of this year’s draft, though I have some degree of doubt. I think the Midwest club needed to add a full-back to the mix after Kristen Mewis’ departure, but the team inste...more

NWSL – 2014 Draft Review – Boston Breakers – Just Business
by All White Kit
posted January 23, 2014 at 9:32am

There may have been more than one talking point about this year’s draft, but there probably weren’t too many for Boston. The Breakers came into it needing some scorers and some cover at center-back to bolster their non-existent depth there. ...more

NWSL – 2014 Draft Review – Portland Thorns – Riley Doesn’t Change His Stripes
by All White Kit
posted January 22, 2014 at 8:59am

Well, you can’t argue that Paul Riley’s deviating from form as far as his attitude towards the college draft is concerned. In 2010 and 2011, Riley’s drafting wasn’t exactly stellar, with most of the Independence’s picks wash...more

NWSL – 2014 Draft Review – Washington Spirit – Capital Club Gets Their Woman Before Falling Into Old Habits
by All White Kit
posted January 21, 2014 at 10:08pm

The 2013 Spirit’s incompetence led to something of a mixed bag last Friday. On the one hand, it allowed them to walk away with the #1 pick in the draft, which they used to take Crystal Dunn, to the surprise of absolutely nobody. Dunn’s going...more

NWSL – 2014 Draft Review – Seattle Reign – Defensive Reinforcement At Last
by All White Kit
posted January 21, 2014 at 10:04pm

The running joke about the Seattle Reign this offseason has generally centered on boss Laura Harvey’s transformation into wheeler-dealer, remaking a roster which proved deficient for most of last season. While the turnover for the roster has been b...more

NWSL – 2014 Draft Review – Chicago Red Stars – A Steady Course
by All White Kit
posted January 20, 2014 at 10:45pm

It’s hard to screw up in a draft in which you’ve got two of the first four picks, and Chicago didn’t rock the boat early in that regard. A midfield with Lori Chalupny, Leslie Osborne, and now Julie Johnston and Vanessa DiBernardo looks ...more

posted January 8, 2014 at 9:02am

Well, thank God for this class. After a top heavy 2015 class and a pretty putrid looking 2016 group, the magic may be back for 2017 with a very solid crop through one year of action. With players like Jackie Stengel, Summer Clarke, and Christina Gibbons a...more
