The 19 year old American defender Korey Veeder has joined the 2o11 Crew via weighted lottery.
Veeder helps a Crew defense, with a lot of question marks, start to gain itself some depth; As the Crew will hope that Veeder, who played 20 games for NASL side Crystal Palace Baltimore last year, will turn up to be quality similiar to how rookie Richard Balchan has so far.
Veeder who has 21 U-17 appearances, and 7 U-20 appearances for the United States found himself without a club in 2011 as Crystal Palace Baltimore dissolved; Veeder was hoping to parlay the end of his CP Baltimore career with a move over to England or Belgium thanks to Crystal Palace's contacts.. But, such a move didn't come about.
Last weekend, the Crew won the rights to Veeder despite only a 19% percent chance of landing him in the lottery. Toronto F.C. had a 45% percent chance, but per usual TFC fail were unable to land Veeder over the Crew. The Crew are not likely complaining and will gladly take the extra defensive depth.
