The San Jose Earthquakes have hit the goalkeeper jackpot.

Entering Wednesday's lottery for highly touted University of California goalkeeper David Bingham with the fifth-highest odds of winning (8.8 percent), the Earthquakes cashed in by landing the final 2011 Generation adidas prospect on the market.

Bingham enters an appealing situation. Aside from the fact that San Jose is about 30 minutes from his hometown of Pleasanton, Calif., he can be mentored by incumbent starter Jon Busch while presumably assuming back-up duties immediately.

As a result of winning the lottery, San Jose will not be included in any other prospective player lotteries during the 2011 season.

What do you think of Bingham landing in San Jose?
