The coaching staffs from all 20 MLS teams will be on hand to scout talent for the 2015 MLS SuperDraft, scheduled to take place on Thursday, Jan. 15, in Philadelphia. The 55 seniors were selected by a committee consisting of NCAA Division I coaches from every conference and MLS representatives. They will be joined at the adidas MLS Player Combine by other seniors, including those from lower NCAA divisions, underclassmen who sign Generation adidas contracts and other international invitees.

Seven of these players will be competing at the College Cup in Cary, N.C. Four hail from UCLA, and the rest come from Providence, UMBC and Virginia. We will have bold predictions on Virginia-UMBC and Providence-UCLA on Friday here on the MLS Multiplex.
