Final Roster Set

The Roster Deadline was at 3pm today and the Rapids have released their season opening roster:

Under Senior Contract:
Goalkeepers:
Ian Joyce
Matt Pickens

Defenders:
Julian Baudet
Danny Earls
Kosuke Kimura
Drew Moor
Oscar Murillo
Scott Palguta

Midfielders:
Mehdi Ballouchy
Colin Clark
Ross LaBauex
Nick LaBrocca
Jeff Larentowicz
Pablo Mastroeni
Jamie Smith
Wells Thompson

Forwards:
Andre Akpan
Conor Casey
Omar Cummings
Ross Schunk - On DL most if not all the season with ACL tear

Under Supplemental (formerly Developmental) Contract:
Goalkeepers:
Steward Ceus - On loan to Charlotte

Defenders:
Michael Holody
Rob Valentino - GA

Midfielders:
Ciaran O'Brien - GA

Ross Schunk being upgraded to a senior roster spot is a surprise. I wonder if that was done after he tore his ACL in order to free up a Supplemental spot. Either way, assuming the IR and season-long loan rules stay the same Schunk's roster spot can be filled while he's on the DL and Ceus' spot can be filled since he's on loan this season.
