There’s all sorts of ways to gauge the pedigree of a player like Calvin Harris, the No. 2 overall pick in Thursday’s MLS SuperDraft presented by adidas.
The lanky attacker is a product of one of college soccer’s top talent laboratories, the Wake Forest program that’s churned out a long list of professionals like Ike Opara, Michael Parkhurst, Sam Cronin and Jack Harrison. Harris also played for the academy of New Zealand-based A-League club Wellington Phoenix prior to his Demon Deacons experience, where he might well have signed a first-team contract were it not for the Australian league’s tight roster limits on imported players.
