Although Xanders give us a good bench mark he is only as good as the tournaments he attends and the games he sees.  I also believe he is often biased based on the clubs many of these kids play.  However, I do believe that some of these rankings are legit.

We seem to have guys every year that go from unnoticed to big contributors to Cuse.  Wasn't Joel White a walk on? What about Salcido?  Kevin Rice told me several years that the only reason he was recruited was because they were scouting Donahue and thought he could be good.  Maybe all of these are diamonds in the rough but I believe our coaches do have the ability to develop talent.

I've been able to see many of 19's play.  Although I don't believe this class is as deep as others I do believe we have some players that we could be talking about years from now.   FWIW:  I've never seen Rosa, Aviles, or Stirpe play

I personally believe Zawada is going to be difference maker; JJ's speed can't be coached and he has a wicked shot from deep; Donnelly has an incredible lax IQ and a great finisher; Lee is a huge presence down low and has great footwork; Clary is a ground ball machine, will take on anyone and is just a Blue Collar player that just scraps; and Page is an absolute beast that I believe will end up playing close.

We also have a few good goalies in this class.  Harrison looks great and is very athletic.   Ulmer is also crazy athletic.  Both have potential to to be incredible goalies.

What I don't see in this class are any solid FOGO's.   Regardless of my thoughts you just never know these guys hearts and how hard they'll work when they get to Cuse.
