The 2023 U-15 Player Pool Thread

I have no idea how old you are but, kids, get off my lawn.

 

Sad update: I’ve been told this is not Preki’s son. It doesn’t appear like they’re related. Seems like a pure coincidence.

 

i'm gonna go out on a limb and say that would be such an extreme coincidence that your information is probably wrong

 

His father is named Ivan. I don’t want to post his personal social media accounts on here, but you can find it and find pictures of the kid there too.

Here is a link to one of Deyan’s former teams. He came to Seattle from Hawaii. https://honolulubulls.org/2022/05/deyan-radosavljevic-a-kid-on-the-rise/

 

Someone did the club breakdown:

6: Philadelphia Union, Chicago Fire FC

5: LAFC, LA Galaxy

4: NYRB, FC Dallas

3: NYCFC, NE Revs, DC United, Colorado Rapids, Atlanta United, Houston Dynamo, San Jose Earthquakes,

2: FC Cincinnati, Sporting KC, Nashville SC, Austin FC, Sacramento Republic

1: Charlotte FC, St Louis Scott Gallagher, Cuyahoga Valley, Pride SC, Michigan Wolves, Bavarian United, Columbus Crew, Sporting Columbus, Inter Miami, Supreme FC, Concorde Fire, Oklahoma Energy, Orlando City, Florida Krazy Krush, Las Vegas Sports Academy, San Diego Surf, La Roca FC, RSL, Seattle Sounders

 

Philadelphia is the new Dallas.

 

23 MLS Clubs, missing are the three Canadian teams plus St Louis (don't yet have teams at this level), Portland, and Minnesota...

You're old enough to remember this. If you can, go to 2:14 on the recording. I'll never forget this call.

No Maximus Steelman. Hmmm.

 

Is this our deepest age group? Seems to be a dozen players deep...

 

The 08s and 09s are both great classes. And really exceptional to have that back to back.

We needed it because from 04-07 we have mostly had average to below average classes.

 

Max is the second best prospect from that San Diego Surf 09 team at least!

 

Who do you like better or as much from that team?

 

Saulo Tejeda has been widely regarded as the top prospect from Surf 09’s for a while now

 

Max Steelman gets a cool name bump though

 

I don't get the vibe from Saulo Tejeda.

 

Tejeda was playing up an age group with Mexico, which is impressive.

 

Not sure if he has a USA passport. He’s only interested in joining Liga MX clubs. If he has a USA passport it’s shocking to not call him up, he’s the best winger in the 09 pool after Mathis Albert and Omar Hassan
