When it comes around to the supp draft, one of the players I think about is Chris Wondolowski - 2005 Supp Draft, Round 4, 5th pick or overall pick #41.
CBlake,
High Point is Div 1
Jloome,
Beattie plays 25 games in 2010, scores 26 goals, that's a 1.04 goal per game clip. He doesn't accomplish this because he's lucky. The boy has skill, however, the level of play at D2 isn't the best place to hone skills in pursuit of a career in MLS. And depending on the rules about international spots, he's certainly not worthy of an international spot. If nationality is not relevant with regard to development spots, that's different.
His PDL coach thinks that being around better players could be a better indicator of how or where he might fit, but it may also highlight his deficiencies. TFC didn't select him based on the combine. I'm willing to bet that Duncan and Billy (PDL Lynx) had some input to complement what Daso, Dichio and Regan had already acquired.
That said, I agree that time will tell.
Any player that adds and enhances the competitive nature of the club is obviously a player worth holding on to.
If TFC is willing to risk a supp pick on Beattie, keep an eye/ear for Kyle Ciliento. He's another D2 player, but he's 2 years younger than Beattie; played 20 games, scored 27 goals (Grand Canyon University - Pacific West Conference). Ciliento was the top D2 goal scorer in 2010.
FYI:
Div 1 top scorer was Cory Hertzog, 22 games, 20 goals.
