The full schedule for the Rapids can be found here. A few thoughts: * Tough start to the season, with road trips out to LA and Salt Lake. We're going to see just how good this new-look team is at handling adversity really quickly. I'm thinking March might just wind up being Hell Month this…

For the past couple of weeks, I've been writing up little blurbs on some of the MLS prospects that could land in Colorado, either at the top or bottom of the draft. They hold the No. 6 overall selection in the first round, two picks in the second round, and might end up with other…

OK, so I still don't think that DeShorn Brown is the most likely pick for Colorado if they go for a forward. You may recall that back when Ives mock drafted DeShorn Brown to the Rapids, I had concerns with the fact that he is a Jamaican international and would therefore use up one of…

Out of all of the players we're previewing in this little series before the 2013 MLS Draft, Mikey Lopez is probably the one that I would be the most surprised to see the Rapids pick up. Lopez played in the center of midfield for the North Carolina Tarheels as he helped lead them to the…

They linked the Rapids to Ipswich Town's Carlos Edwards, a 34-year-old Trinidad & Tobago international. Edwards is a very experienced player, getting minutes…

Take a gander at my line-up here:

I'm expecting Wynne to be a big part of the team as usual next year, though at his original position of right back instead of the speedy center back spot he had held the past few seasons. The real question is, will he keep that mini-afro looking hairdo he was rocking last year?

To quote myself from our original article on this: The Harbottle pick-up might also signal that the Rapids aren't planning on going for an outside guy like DeShorn Brown in the MLS Draft. Here's the video I found of Harbottle a while ago:

Now the pot seems to have gotten even bigger, with Grant Wahl reporting yesterday that, in fact, we were looking at a three horse race between Colorado, Salt Lake and Kansas City. KC hosted a World Cup Qualifier recently, with LIVESTRONG Sporting Park being lauded as one of the best venues in the United States…
