Take a look at this list; odds are that one of these names will be selected by the LA Galaxy in the upcoming 2013 MLS SuperDraft.
On Tuesday, MLS released a list of 54 seniors invited to the MLS Combine. The annual players combine takes place in Lauderhill, Florida from Jan. 11 to Jan. 15. The list will ultimately grow as MLS adds international signings as well as their Generation Adidas class, each of which should be released in the coming weeks.
The combine list included five players from California; those from Southern California are listed in bold and italics.
Last season, Bryan Gaul, Rafael Garcia and Brian Rowe were each on the initial list of seniors with the first two selected by the club while the latter was signed later in the season.
