Sasho Cirovski has coached the Maryland Terrapins’ men’s soccer team since 1993, winning two national championships and several conference tournaments in that time and sending a number of players to the professional game. The jewel of the program is Taylor Twellman, but the likes of Omar Gonzalez, Maurice Edu and Graham Zusi also played in College Park. You can draw up a decent XI of Maryland grads playing in MLS today.
The first pick in the annual MLS SuperDraft has thrown up a player with the potential to be a franchise cornerstone for three years running (Andre Blake, Cyle Larin and Jack Harrison), but beyond that it remains something of a crapshoot.
