The draft Generation

Ives has some interesting tidbits about the latest Generation adidas rumours. He's reporting that the incoming class might be the largest in history, with Wake Forest's Ike Opara and Corben Bone close to signing deals, along with Virginia midfielder Tony Tchani. Ives says all three are likely top five picks. All told, there could be as many as 12 Generation adidas players in the draft.

Additionally, Ives is reporting (Via Buzz) that Danny Mwanga is about to sign the largest deal in the class. Evidently, Philly wants Mwanga with the top pick. He is considered the top striker available.

As for top Canadian prospect Teal Bunbury, there have yet to be any concrete rumours about where he might end up (although Toronto doesn't seem likely as he won't be around at No 24 and, besides, TFC is in greater need of defenders). Speculating, Columbus with the eighth pick might make some sense. The Crew can likely afford to develop a striker (Bunbury is considered fairly raw) and might be interested in an attacking player after losing Alejandro Moreno in the expansion draft.
