Has there ever been such a rise of players/hype for the USMNT for Euro players?

Even with dempsey, jozy, bradley and bedoya in the MLS, we have a pretty solid group of euro-based USMNT players. We also have some very promising players coming through ranks and breaking into first teams.
I'd hate to get too excited, but have you guys ever seen us with so much hope for a (actual) very bright future in the next 2-4 years?
Pulisic
Gooch
Hyndman
Carter-Vickers

Alfredo morales and tim chandler are not even getting call ups right now for the USMNT and they are bundesliga players.

Morales is the first consistent starter in a major European league not to get consistent call ups, in my opinion.
We have tons of guys playing in the European academies now, which wasn't necessarily the case ten years ago.
Don't forget Miazga and Wood.

I don't know if you'd count Cameron since he's in his 30s, but he's been a main stay in the EPL

Of those in your OP, only two or three will end up big contributors to the USMNT.

I feel you but IMO this generation and the next couple of generations of young American players could end up being the guys that help us reach the tipping point for where we want to be as a soccer nation. Besides the obvious that many of our best players for the future are playing and getting real minutes for some good European clubs, I see little things everyday that gives me a lot of hope. Jerseys everywhere. The FIFA video games. The amount of soccer on tv here is crazy these days. It's in front of kids faces constantly. That is huge. Granted, I watch a lot of sports channels so I see more soccer games and commercials than most. But a bunch of young athletic dudes across America, who will be deciding what sport they want to pursue seriously soon, watch the shite out of those same channels. I don't know, maybe it's the Pulisic hype train that's getting to me, but I have a good feeling about the not too distant future.
