1. John Anthony Brooks, D, Hertha Berlin
2. Luis Gil, M, Real Salt Lake
3. Perry Kitchen, M, D.C. United
4. Juan Agudelo, F, Chivas USA
5. Sebastian Lletget, M, West Ham United
6. Joe Gyau, M/F, St. Pauli (on loan from Hoffenheim)
7. Benji Joya, M, Santos Laguna
8. Jose Villarreal, M, Los Angeles Galaxy
9. Jack McInerney, F, Philadelphia Union
10. Marc Pelosi, D/M, Liverpool

A couple of notes on top prospect and Hertha Berlin CB John Anthony Brooks. Over the past year JAB has grown 4 inches, and is now listed at a staggering 6'7. He recently took part in Der Mannschaft's U20 camp, but was quoted by the New York Times as saying..."the US is still my first choice. Playing for the German team was OK but America was a lot better."

I like the idea of a 6'7" CB we can refer to as "JAB"

T Boyd has referenced JAB as a "beast" multiple times. I'm excited for him to get a look

The other play I'm intrigued by is Lettget, he's a regular on West Ham's match day bench, but he can't seem to get any first team minutes. He appears to be a part of their plans going forward, but if they aren't going to give him any PT they should do him a favor and send him out on loan.

For how often they let him suit up, you'd think he'd have seen the field by now.

He's getting there. It's hard to break into a PL midfield, and he's still young. When asked about who looked good in camp, T. Boyd said that Lletget was sick. I can't wait to see him make his debut.

Gyau > Agudelo

Suprised to see Jack Mac make this list. I think he will prove to be a very good mls striker but I'd say he has a very low ceiling for a list such as this.

Also, Brooks growing to 6'7 is scary. Has he Managed to get any pt for hertha this year?

He's a regular starter for them, it also looks as if they'll be making the jump back to the Bundesliga for 13-14.

quite a bit, 15 appearances 12 starts and 1090 minutes played. they look to be a lock for promotion also.

eta: tough to say how much better gyau actually is than juan. gyau is stupid raw and still not really getting that much PT for shitty arse st pauli.
