Yes. Four Americans out of like thirty.

Pot calling the kettle Red? Wasn't that long ago that Cornell ice hockey was the wild Canadian horde.

Major League Soccer announced five Big Red men's soccer players as eligible for the MLS SuperDraft 2025, which is set to take place on Friday, December 20 at 2:00 p.m. ET. Alex Harris, Ryan Friedberg, Alioune Ka, Andrew Johnson, and Kisa Kiingi were the Cornellians named on the eligible players list. In addition to being named to the list, Harris signed a Generation Adidas contract.

Generation Adidas is an MLS partnership in which Adidas sponsors the athlete's contract for the team that drafts them. In signing the contract, Harris officially declares himself as a professional and will not be returning to the pitch with the Big Red next season.

Harris concludes his Cornell career with 71 points on 31 goals and nine assists. He finished fourth all-time in career goals, third all-time in career points, and first in penalty-kicks made (8). "Alex's career at Cornell has been nothing short of remarkable. In his two seasons here he has managed to make the most difficult part of playing our sport [scoring goals] looking fairly effortless. He has been a pleasure to coach.", John Smith, the Dr. Daniel P. Wood Head Coach of Men's Soccer mentioned.

Oof, hurts to potentially lose both Harris and Friedberg early. This makes me pretty concerned for the team next year but for now I'll just try to be happy for the guys going to the pros. Hopefully one can become the next emeka eneli.

Draft starts at two, does anyone know how it works exactly? If our guys are eligible does that mean they declared and cannot return or do they actually have to sign a contract before that is the case?

Harris goes forth overall to the rapids

Alioune Ka goes 36th overall, I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up being a better pro than Harris, seems to me like his game will transfer better.

Colorado drafts a fellow named Charlie Harper in the 2nd round to join Harris. The team must expect Harper will tone down his boozing and womanizing.

Andrew Johnson to Charlotte 47th overall

We already have as many picks this year as we have had in every draft previously combined, and friedberg/Kingii could still be drafted (but I doubt it). As for the team next year, I don't want to count out an autobid already but it's more than likely looking like a rebuilding year where we're gonna have to win the Ivy to get in.

Maybe they meant to draft his brother, Alan?

Emeka Eneli called up to the US NATIONAL TEAM. Unreal, I just got one of the new US jerseys but looks like I'm gonna have to buy an eneli one or put the name on the back myself.

*note that it is the January camp so the best players do not come back but this is still an amazing accomplishment for eneli and Cornell soccer as a whole. You bet this is going to be a massive recruiting talking point for us going forward.

Eneli is about to sub in vs Venezuela!
