Kyle Colsey, A, Ridgefield (Conn.) There’s no better prospect to start out the standouts section than Colsey himself. A constant threat to get topside to his left, either from the left wing or from behind, Colsey has an ultra-sweet quick sidearm release. He can also get his hands free in a variety of different ways, too, whether it’s a quick spin move around a screen or a slick face dodge past the slide. The one area Colsey can begin to build on is facilitating for his teammates, a trait that could certainly come in due time with how much attention opposing defenses have to pay him. Colsey also worked hard on the ride, leaping for potential pickoffs and turning back midfielders (he had one nice takeaway near the far sideline in his second game). He had one of the gems of the showcase with a righty between the legs finish to the top left corner one-on-one with the goalie, clearly abiding by Mikey Diggs’ No. 1 rule to do the opposing netminder as dirty as possible.
Brady Pokorny, A, Darien (Conn.) The powerful lefty has great size and displayed an extensive arsenal of moves to get his hands free for both overwhelming overhand efforts and creative finishes, like a twister coming down the right alley. Pokorny split through defenders and used movement off-ball well to score in bunches.
