MLS College Combine 2005 - Midfielders

Last week we looked at the forwards that went to the 2005 MLS college combine. Below is a summary of the midfielders that attended the same combine. Most interesting is Luke Kreamalmayer who won the first Tom Fitzgerald award. It was to be given to the best player at the combine. The last 2 years Major League Soccer hasn't seemed to mention it in their press releases.

Chris Karcz (Rutgers)
3rd Round Supplemental draft (27th overall) by Chicago Fire
Karcz didn't make teh Fire's squad. He's had some injury problems but recently popped up with Soccer by Ives mentioning him as the Crew and NYRB have had a spat over him. The Crew have his rights and have been trying to get something out of the New York Red Bulls for him if he's going to play for them. So far it looks like the Crew still have his rights.

Thabiso Khumalo (Coastal Carolina)
3rd Round Superdraft (36th overall) by Chicago Fire
From Soweto (a black urban area near Johanesburg), Khumalo was drafted by the Chicago Fire. He didn't make the squad and ended up with the Charleston Battery in USL-1.

Luke Kreamalmeyer (Bradley)
4th round Superdraft (37th overall) by Real Salt Lake
Luke won the inaugural Tom Fitzgerald Award as the outstanding player at the 2005 combine. He was a good example of a player whose value rose at the player combine. He played with the Chicago Fire Reserves (previosuly St. Louis Stikers) in the PDL. He was drafted for Real Salt Lake and played for them in their innagural season. Luke was cut by Real Salt Lake after the 2005 season he joined the Portland Timbers where he was one the few bright spots during the teams poor 2006 showing.

The DC native, Wake Forest product played with the Carolina Dynamo (PDL) before joining the MLS. Lowery only played for 1 minute in one game in 2005 for the Rapids. It's unclear what he did in 2006. He is currently on the Kansas City Wizards 2007 roster as a developmental player.

Domenic Mediate (Maryland)
2nd Round Superdraft (23rd Overall) by Columbus Crew

He was traded to DC United for a 4th round pick in the 2006 Supplemental draft. He made 8 appearances for DC United in 2006. He was cut before the 2007 season. It's unclear if he's caught on with a new club yet.

But after 2006 season NYRB made him avaiable in expansion draft. Toronto FC took him in the expansion draft but traded the Hermann Trophy winner O'Rourke and Wil Hesemer to Coloumbus Crew for parial allocation.

Scott Buete (ex-Chicago Fire; Atlanta Silverbacks) was in the first 11.
