Actually, it wasn't Revivo who got drafted (he didn't have a great showing at the combine), it was defender Henry Kalungi. He was expected to get some chances to maybe try-out for an MLs squad, but even he was surprised he got drafted.

Nope. It was just to place Josh in context. But you are welcome to do so.
