Bruce, Dave, Cobi and Tom Payne are down in Florida right now for the annual MLS Combine in Fort Lauderdale as they make their final assessment on some of the top college players who will be available in Thursday's MLS SuperDraft in St. Louis. Those four will remain in sunny Florida until the conclusion of the Combine on Tuesday before flying directly to St. Louis, where the blog staff will already be established, on Wednesday morning in advance of the SuperDraft.
In case you forgot, the Galaxy have four picks in the four round SuperDraft, picking in the first round (3rd overall), the third round (33rd overall) and twice in the fourth round (48th and 49th overall, with the 49th pick coming from Toronto FC in exchange for Kevin Harmse last March). The Galaxy had two second round picks (18th and 20th overall) but those were traded to FC Dallas (for Carlos Ruiz) and New England (for Joe Franchino) in 2008.
We'll catch up with the coaches in advance of the Draft and then be your go-to source for all Galaxy-related information on Draft Day, while also throwing in a few extras. And don't forget, you can watch the first hour of the SuperDraft live on ESPN2, starting at 11 a.m. (PT) on Thursday.

fingers crossed we get another "Franklin" out of the draft...
will the new jersey(s) be presented at the draft ?
Thanks very much for this update... All of us, LA Galaxy fans, were really looking forward to Bruce, Dave, and Cobi's assessment of the 2009 MLS Combine and which prospects interested them the most! Please continue to keep us informed!
Did Josh Saunders get the boot/loan over now? I see he is no longer on the roster page.
