FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – Last year’s deep playoff run to the Eastern Conference Final meant the New England Revolution were spectators for the first two hours of Thursday afternoon’s SuperDraft presented by adidas, waiting until the 24th pick before making their first selection. But when they finally made that selection, they snagged a talent projected by many to go much earlier in Round One.
Edward Kizza, who bagged a remarkable 31 goals in a three-year career at the University of Pittsburgh – including 27 goals in 38 appearances over his final two seasons – was widely considered one of the best attacking talents in the draft class, so the Revs were thrilled to see him still on the board at pick No.
