A few surprises today with the Generation adidas class and MLS Combine rosters being announced. The GA list went out without a hitch from what we discussed yesterday but a couple players were missing from the Combine list that the league ended up missing out on.

Both Marcus Tracey (Wake Forest) and Mike Grella (Duke) have opted not to sign with MLS and instead will look at offers from European clubs. There is still time for the two to sign before next week’s draft but if they don’t this draft class will have taken a big dent with those losses.

As for the GA list, the nine we discussed yesterday were announced today. There is still an outside chance another name could be added to this list but I still doubt that will happen in time.

• Steve Zakuani
• Omar Gonzalez
• Rodney Wallace
• Jeremy Hall
• Baggio Husidic
• Kevin Alston
• Stefan Frei
• Peri Marosevic
• Daniel Cruz

Now as for the Combine information, below is the list of rosters as well as game times for those in the area. Miami fans, you claim to want a team so bad right now…if I were you I’d show up in full force as these games are open to the public. Show your support for the league’s future here, plus it may help get some more people behind you if you do indeed show up for this event. (sorry for the rant, I just couldn’t help it here)
