Congrats to Axel Sjoberg, who went 14th overall to Colorado.

Hope Axel would have played along with the "Best University in the Nation" schtick and mentioned Marquette.

But he didn't. I think he was just anxious and excited to be up there speaking.

Congrats to him.

So that makes TWO MUers in the MLS correct?

Hopefully Charlie Lyon gets drafted on Tuesday.

Article says he is 6' 7".

Does the soccer team have more height than the basketball team?

Charlie Lyon was selected in the 4th round of the MLS draft today by the Seattle Sounders, making him the first MU keeper selected in the draft.
