Excellent work as always by @ProspectsUsmnt. The biggest moves on here in my opinion:
โข Carson Starrett (โ11 ST) to Inter Miami
โข Marcelo Avalos (โ09 GK) back to SJ Quakes
โข Leo Woehl (โ11 M/W) to Columbus Crew
โข Danny Haders (โ10 CB) to RSL
โข Makai Wells (โ09 W) to NE Revs
Nice add for RSLโs academy in signing Danny Haders (โ10). He joins from Barca AZ, where he only played for about half a season.
Helped his reputation a lot in a short span though. One of the top โ10 CBโs right now, and should be in the USYNT picture.

Some Iโd like to see picked instead:
Jackson Dale (GK), Muyiwa Ajayi (GK), Connor Dale (GK), Dom Lester (RB), Seyi Fakiyesi (LB), Danny Haders (CB), Dulani Rennie (CB), David Llevbare (DM), Daโvian Kimbrough (CM), Ezra Mahteme (CM), Matt Arana (CM), Eddie Niles (AM), Theo Hallie (WING), Jayden Kouadio (WING), Josh Boney (WING), Morra Francois (WING), Kane Kraus (CF), Landon Lucero (CF)
Biggest misses for me are Niles, J. Dale, Mahteme, and Kimbrough.
With our win today versus City SC, we have earned an automatic spot in the 2025 @mIsnext Cup. I couldn't be more excited to go toe-to-toe with the very best in the country in Nashville this Summer and have a shot at raising the cup! (3/3)
@BarcaAcademyAZ ๐ @ourcitysc
Playing against my old team was never going to be easy, especially because the coaches and players on the other side of the field have had such a tremendous influence on my life, both on and off the field. (1/3)
To everyone at City SC San Diego, I want you to know that I am most grateful for the +4 years I spent with the club. I don't think I can convey with words how life-changing the experience has been. (2/3)
Thank you @ProspectsUsmnt, your thoughtful feedback & expert evaluation of my film means a lot to me.
I'm grateful for the teams and coaches whoโve helped me get to where I am today.
This recognition only fuels my drive to achieve more โ Iโm eager to get back to work!
Finding a top CB in the 2010 age group has been a real chore this season. The view for a while from many you'd speak to has been that the age group lacked one. I think I've found one (or at least the closest the age group has to a top CB prospect)!
Danny Haders joined Barca AZ a few months ago from (San Diego) City SC. He's had an instant impact. Whoever has found all these top talents in Barca's 2010/2011 age groups is doing an excellent job with scouting. The club probably has/had the best combined 2010/2011 age groups around the country, and yes that includes the MLS clubs.
Haders is a decently athletic CB. Elite mobility (competitive sprinter) who is pretty tall for his age and rangy due to his quickness and long legs that cover a lot of ground quickly and get in defensive lanes. He's generally well positioned and makes good reads. The area he needs the most work is with his distribution. He's comfortable on the ball and accurate over shorter distances, but doesn't take many risks in his distribution. He's roughly comparable to a player like SKC's '08 Ian James.
I think this is a player we need to see in a USYNT camp soon, especially given that age group really lacks at the position. Yes, he might've been an unknown previously and that was the excuse, but now he isn't, so that needs to change going forward.
