Welcome

Welcome to a soccer blog dedicated to following youth American soccer players coming up the professional ranks. The current American set up has most young soccer players aspiring to play college ball before getting drafted by Major League Soccer. That could all change with the creation of a MLS youth development system but for the time being college is the predominant American development system between youth soccer and professional clubs.

We'll keep tabs on up and coming freshman, the sophomore avoiding a second year slump, the juniors who have made their mark and the seniors looking for final year glory. Everything will come to a head around here in January when MLS has their yearly drafts. To the extent possible we will also monitor college stars moving abroad, the US Soccer residency program, USL bound players and anyone else making a name for themselves in US College Soccer.
