Colorado Rapids select Eddie Ababio

With the 18th selection in the 2011 MLS Superdraft – Eddie Ababio, University of North Carolina.

A defender who can get involved in the attack, he’s a good pick up for the Rapids who are looking to add depth in front of the fixture congestion they’ll no doubt be facing next year. He’s Ghanian, loves Chelsea FC and seems to be a work-in-progress.

Here’s a round of information on him:

Mention Freddy Adu and I cringe. Yuck.
