United selection Nick DeLeon: A 5-10, 170-pound wide midfielder for Louisville, DeLeon scored six goals with six assists in 2011 for the Cardinals, who advanced to the NCAA quarterfinals before falling to UCLA, 1-0, in double overtime. DeLeon finished his two-year career at Louisville with 14 goals and nine assists. DeLeon has already signed with MLS, and provides more attacking flexibility for United. DeLeon’s father, LeRoy DeLeon, a Trinidad & Tobago international, played for the Washington Diplomats from 1974-77. I’ll have more on the selection, including quotes from DeLeon and United Coach Ben Olsen, in tomorrow’s paper. -- The 2012 MLS draft will begin at noon at the Kansas City (Mo.) Convention Center.
