Who are the top 15 American prospects you should be watching? 

Who are you most looking forward to watch this season?

Great Detail, you should have prospect watch every month!

So exciting !!!

Fire video good job Pete

Great vid

Nice run down as always. You're last couple of vids didn't send me a notification for some reason but glad this one did

Great content! 👏👏👏 I’m looking forward to watching Jude Wellings. RSL. Going forward could you please do these by year group? 😀

Another great video! Now on to actually watching the video…

Gaga Slonina, Cade Cowell and Paxton Aaronson, are the players that I think will have a breakout season.

Exited for the pod! Also the thing with George Soup for Atlanta is he plays in a three center back system where either Franco or sosa who are almost always open for the easy pass those two generally then progress the ball forward. The same case for Robinson in the 3 which I really dislike for their development although I like it for Atlanta’s sake. This will keep both of them at a certain point with their passing and technical development until they go to a different system. This has been the same essentially since De Beor started and also I expect no changes under Pineda from preseason also Tyler Wolf was very good for Atlanta during preseason and I am personally excited for him Edit: Good lord sorry for the essay!

Great Vid as always! I will give you a little more hope about Morris for you, too. Artur is a good player, but he has a chronic hip injury, meaning he can only be so useful, and Morris will have to step up. We traded away Seb Berhalter (who is a similar player) to really lean on Morris and Zawaziski (a new homegrown midfielder, similar to Nagbe) as our depth. I have no doubts that Morris won’t be a starter come end of the season, and I hope he gets a euro move by the winter 2023

Hoping Pomykal impresses in an injury-free season playing in the middle. That'd be great. Also if Pax is truly 12-18 months ahead of Brenden's development that'd be great. When Brenden was 19, he was MLS Best XI. Pax turns 19 in August so it truly would be a breakout year for him to go from ~600 minutes to a Best XI player. It's a little disappointing we don't have any elite U19 striker prospects in MLS so hoping someone breaks out at that position.

Considering how stacked the midfield position is in the youth ranks I feel like a shift to a 4-4-2 Diamond would make a lot of sense.

Keep an eye out for Cam Duke on SKC. He recently turned 21, but he is incredibly versatile and a sparkplug in the midfield. I imagine he will get lots of starts this year.

Would be fun to see an update video. Still fairly accurate. Some went to Europe. Probably drop Morris and Tolkin after the Gold Cup, and add in Cremaschi, Buck, Neal.

Absolutely looking forward to watching Slonina more! Saw him play vs Columbus and looked very comfortable and mature. Very impressive

I honestly held off watching this video until I had my dinner fresh and ready to eat so I can enjoy my food while I watch this video. Now I'm about to enjoy both. I'm on the Paxton Arronson hype train. 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

I know this was an MLS edition, but I am exited we have someone in the Masilla. And he is doing well.

Hehe, I know folks'll scoff at this and he certainly doesn't belong on this list but as a long-time DC United fan I'll be of course watching Nyeman this coming season but also Donovan Pines. I'm fairly certain he blew his chance this summer with the national team. He looked very shaky under pressure in the Gold Cup and definitely didn't look confident on the ball. But I've watched him over the last few years and he's turning into a very solid MLS defender. Very good in the air, underrated catch-up speed and a pretty decent, assertive tackler. Definitely needs to work on his technical skills but is not nearly as bad as he showed in the Gold Cup. I hope he has a good, solid MLS career...

What’s up with the mic Pete lol classic episode 👀

I think the same thing about nyeman. He flys around on defense despite his size- like kante. But his technique with the ball at his feet is also sublime

You should do a follow up video now that we're past mid season to see how these players have progressed so far this season

I laughed when you said, "I'm going to shame them here." About Portland and Houston. lol.

I’m looking forward to see most of the young players from Chicago fire like Gabriel slonina Brian Gutierrez missael rodrigues and sergio orejo

Great job. I’d love to see a top 5 for NCAA. I know this is the old school path, but reality is there are usually 1-2 players out of this traditional route that will make an impact for USMNT as well. Think Dike, Morris, Turner, etc…

really really hope Slonina develops into the number 1 we need for the USMNT

Quinn Sullivan ❤🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩❤️

Javier Casas Jr from the Chicago Fire looks exciting, I don't see him getting enough minutes this year though

Over the last couple seasons COVID has played havoc with the development of many players (home and abroad) as there have been game cancellations and even halts to some of the leagues. When we take that into consideration it's great to see a group of young players (U-20s) in a position to seriously contribute to their MLS Clubs. Yes, some of them will have to fight/scrap for minutes but even 5 years ago these players would have been soo far down the club's depth chart (regardless of talent) that they'd rarely see the field. Really hoping that these (and others) have a good start to the MLS season and get themselves into good form as we head for the U-20/Olympic qualification tournament this summer. Looking for Slonina, Aaronson, Clark & hopefully Morris to really stake claims as starters for their clubs, and transition that to successful seasons. I've always leaned towards DC United as my MLS Cub side so I hope Nyeman does well, but as a long term USMNT prospect I do worry about his size in comparison to his competition. The USMNT is moving away from purely physical aspects of the game and transitioning to more skilled/technical play, but physicality will remain part of the CONCACAF region and our players need to be up for those types of games.

Giving me some reasons to watch Chicago Fire...

These are the guys that are going to help us win the 2026 World cup!

So many midfielders damn

The lid. Aidan Morris. 'Tis he. We could fill up an auditorium with all of our talk of who's our backup six. Young Mr. Morris could put a lid on it.

I know two Timbers academy players (one mid and one goalkeeper). They are both pretty good though I've been able to beat them a couple of times which tells you that we haven't quite gotten there yet. They're still miles ahead of me but they deserve a better academy system.

Obed Vargas is up next

It’s Caleb Wiley szn Pete. The defensive LB we need. I think George Campbell is better on the ball than you think. He was a midfielder in the academy days.

Do you Like the Idea of Cowell at LWB?

You didn’t mention Jonathan Bornstein, Geoff Cameron and Brad Guzan

Excited for Pax and the union boys. (Clark too) Seattle found Obed Vargas from Alaska and Christian Cappis trained with Dallas even though he is from Huston. So there is definitely talent to develop Portland. Shame on Portland and Houston

can u make an updated version of this video?

Brooklyn Raines from Houston Dynamo going to prove you wrong Pete!

I know very little about young prospects in MLS, but I heard that Noel Buck just signed a homegrown contract with the NE Revs. Anyone have any insight regarding his potential?

Surprised you didn't include Chris Brady of Chicago Fire. Another very good GK, 10th best valued GK in the world of his birth year, Gaga is number one. If Gaga goes to Europe in the summer he can be one to watch. He already has European interest.

As a Timbers fan I couldn’t agree more with the shame. Can only think of one successful youth academy player recently and he doesn’t even play for us anymore

I'd now add Austin FCs Kipp Keller

To their credit doesn't Houston have a pretty promising U-17 crowd? Or am I mistaken?

At 22, is Paxton Pomykol still "young"? I'm excited about him though, so I will let it slide. But much younger (by 2 years), and likely to shine more brightly is Jesús Ferreira playing the #9 this year. With Pomykol behind him, rather than on the right wing, and Arriola (hopefully) sending in service from the wing, this could be a fun season up in Frisco.

Philly will probably run more of a 4-3-2-1 this season which could get the young guys more minutes

Houston and Portland just need better scouts and go into the communities and encourage people get into soccer . Have incentives that will bring in more into the fold

I noticed a lot of Midfielders, Wingers, and LB/RB. What is up with our development of Strikers and Center Backs?

Why is your image flipped?

Moises nyeman can be really good

What happened to solina's left hand???

Is Felipe Hernandez too old to be on this list? He looked really good in limited minutes last year. I don't think he'll ever be a USMNT superstar but I do think he's a potential contributor.

Diego Luna didn’t make the list but should be top 5.

Dynamo reallyyyy disappointing. Texas, let alone Houston, has so many dual nats that are crazy for footie and they're getting no academy players coming up? sus af

You should change the title of the video to top 15 American MLS prospects as we have plenty of better prospects currently playing in Europe.

Paredes is pronounced "Pa-red-es" not "Pa reed-ees" sorry it just really annoys me how often you mispronounce it

Same old, same old, for the USMNT. Where are the guys that are gonna put the ball in the net!? We've been talking about this for DECADES...and it doesn't look like help is on the horizon. Wake me up when something changes.
