Francis Atuahene selected 4th in MLS Super Draft
I’ll admit that even as a somewhat regular MLS fan I was unaware the draft was happening right now. Yes, right now in the middle of the day on a Friday because the MLS is good at things.
Francis was taken 4th over all by Houston. Francis completes his Michigan career with 24 Goals in 42 games started
Take a closer look at the #4 pick, @AtuaheneFrancis. #SuperDraft https://t.co/AyR1i4mce8

Most thought he'd be gone by the 3rd pick. But I'll say it's probably a good thing for him. Dallas is a great place to go as a young player. Pareja is a good manager for developing players.

I was hoping the Galaxy would ahve taken him at 2. He fits exactly what they need right now.

Now I can root for a team in Texas..

I wonder what he will do with all those hundreds of dollars???

MLS minimum salaries are truly pathetic. I feel like if you play for one the of the LA or NY teams and you make the minumum salary you are basically a professional athlete living in poverty.

Meanwhile David Villa probably makes the minimum each week.

or can he come back for his senior year if he chooses like Hockey? He was definetly a force on M's squad and will be missed.

As a season ticket holder, I was REALLY hoping LAFC would take him when they traded for the #3 pick. I hadn't even heard of the guy they took.

I was REALLY hoping Chivas2 would take him
