I apologize if this has been posted before....didn't see it. Thought this was interesting......all of the Parade All Americans....you can select any year.....I didn't realize that many scrub MLS players were all americans in HS... http://sports.espn.go.com/ncaa/recruiting/parade/data?year=1999&sport_id=61
The NFL is filled with so-called "scrubs" who were superstars at the HS and college level. I imagine that 90% of MLS players were by far the best players on their HS team whether they were Parade All Americans or not. To make it to the MLS level, these guys were all studs. Just making it MLS is an accomplishment.
98 and 99 were some good years, alot of names i recognized. I believe we could be saying the same in a couple years from now about the 02 and 03 class.
What, no love for Kiernan "Kall me Kerry" Zavagnin? 1992 And either he is younger than I thought, or the second coming of Carlos Parra was in 2001.
