Rosenberry and Yaro together again in Philadelphia

Keegan Rosenberry didn't expect this to happen. When he saw the Philadelphia Union select Georgetown teammate Joshua Yaro with the second pick, he didn't think he'd be heading to Chester with him.

"To be honest, I thought the chances would have decreased, because you take two kids from the same school in a row," Rosenberry said. "But no...I couldn't be happier with the way this turned out."

Rosenberry, a four-year starter at right back for Georgetown, was denied a homegrown contract with the Union just a month ago. The move would have allowed the Union to sign Rosenberry on the basis of his time with the team's academy, but he was controversially deemed ineligible for such a contract.
