It's time for the annual MLS College Combine, an event which brings together the majority of the pool of players that will inform the MLS SuperDraft and the technical staffs of the team who will do the drafting.
The basic 2017 plan for the Combine is to divide the 66 invited players into four teams, and have them play against each other over the course of three match days. Between those games, a battery of physical tests, and interviews between players and interested teams, it is thought the MLS clubs (who will also have scouted more than a few attendees independently) will have sufficient information to make their draft selections on January 13.
