Solid article by Jeff Carlisle.

Worth the read, but for those short on time the top ten is thus:

quote:

THE TOP 10 U.S. U-21 PLAYERS
1. Emerson Hyndman
2. Rubio Rubin
3. Julian Green
4. Gedion Zelalem
5. Cameron Carter-Vickers
6. Tommy Thompson
7. Zack Steffen
8. Junior Flores
9. Paul Arriola
10. Christian Pulisic


Hyndman is absolutely #1, no question. I'm really high on Rubin as well, and I feel his spot at #2 is well-deserved. Everyone here should also be excited about CCV, who has LSU connections and looked like a beast with the U-20s despite just turning 17.

Anyone y'all would add/subtract from this list? I think I would replace Arriola with Gall after their respective performances with the U-20s.

Is this based on how they're playing right now, or their potential? (Didn't click the link.)

I know he isn't U-21, but whatever happened to Josh Gatt? Is he still having knee problems?

Supposed to be back in April after recovering from his second blown-out knee.

I would rank Pulisic a good bit higher. He has a knack to find himself in the right place at the right time.

I don't know all of these prospects well enough, but it seems like I would only take the first four above him for sure.

Very excited about CCV. Wouldn't be surprised to see him get a cap before 2018.

I expected to see Erik Palmer-Brown on the list. He's 17 and Juve made a 7-figure offer for him.

He broke his leg awhile back. He's back to playing again, but I haven't heard much about him since.

Is it too early to nickname our centerback pairing for 2022 "The Hyphens"?
