Two days later, Brendan received an offer from Sigi Schmid, the Seattle Sounders manager, and that was followed up on the 4th of July of all days by an offer from Toronto FC.

By this time, Brendan and his parents had enlisted the help of their friend Chris Franklin, who was an attorney and gave them good sound legal advice regarding the offers. They talked through the ramifications of signing a pro contract now, how that would affect his senior year of high school, and what was best not only for his soccer development, but his future in general.

With Franklin's help, the Carlson family together had come to a decision, and had called all three clubs back to let them know of the decision. A press release has been scheduled for tomorrow, July 8th, 2011, where Brendan would announce his decision.
