So I am going to try and get a new segment started here on the blog called the Former Junior's Update. Now I realize the Junior's Blog does the same thing but they update every month and don't follow proffesional graduates like Ellis or Kempin. I'm going to try and follow both collegiate players and juniors that are now pro's and get an update out weekly. Basically it'll just be a look at all the former junior players of Sporting Kc's youth academy that have gone on to college and beyond. It is similar to downthebyline's recurring segment of Former SKC Wizards Update and that's where I got the idea from.
I will try to get out one each week. There will be a set day where I will be releasing them further down the road when I get a good grip on these posts.
So, here's the first one:

Professional or Semi-Pro
Name - Club - Update
Kevin Ellis - Sporting KC - Recorded zero minutes in MLS, played in all 10 of Sporting Kc's reserve matches, starting 9

I think that its great that you are looking in future MLS stars. They can be the next KC stars or any other team.
