As always it's curious which players they pick and which ones they don't, but of the kids they picked that I've seen, I can't say any of them are bad noms.
- Not sure Lukic would've been my pick from the RBS system, but he's certainly an interesting midfield talent with good skill and size.
- Again Yotov wouldn't have been my pick from that Bayern U-19 team (Ramsak), but he's got talent and with his US-eligibility that probably gets him a little extra attention.
- Duranville looks dynamic as all hell when fit.
- WZE is just a monster; ditto Brunner & Endryck.
- I still think Darvich moves deeper from the 10...like Samardzic has...but he's in that Bischof, Wanner, etc. tier of kids only behind Musiala & Wirtz
- Kabar is a very exciting FB prospect with everything in his toolbox; great athlete, great skill level, strong but unrefined defensive instincts, and tremendous leaping ability...though I'd probably have gone with Ouedraogo as the third German; kid just has it all and is much more intriguing than Lukic.
- Hato looked like a left-footed Timber whenever I've gotten glimpses of him; great mobility and defensive instincts, with strong technical skills.
- Borys stood out in a good way whenever I watched Poland's u17s at the euros; leading them to the semis with his craftiness, combativeness, & creativity
