LAUDERHILL, Fla. – The matches get most of the attention, but the most important moments of the 2016 adidas MLS Player Combine may just take place back at the hotel.
That’s where clubs and players sit down for their pre-SuperDraft interviews, and, in some cases, it’s where draft decisions are made.
All 20 MLS clubs interview Combine participants, with many teams meeting with a vast majority of the prospects assembled in South Florida. Clubs have varied approaches to the interview process. Some teams have their entire technical staff sit down with prospects, while others limit the size of their group to two or three people.
