Funny as Tolkin has had a better full season than Clark.  Really hope Caden regains his form down the stretch.  Our biggest loss over the summer might have been his appendix (& his form & our form)

Wiki might have chance for next season.  

Agree with the list saying you almost forget CCJ is still under 22.


Bradley Wright-Phillips "I prefer it at Red Bull Arena, but it was OK. I could imagine it being good for a baseball crowd.

Feel like this list is more "22 young players most likely to be moving to Europe in the next year" and under that title Tolkien and Wiki's omissions make sense.

I thought we were the only ones to sell our young players?

The voters weigh both potential and performance as they please

the list is suspect.

 

For example, moses nyeman made the list. how? it just seems like they were searching for a really young player who had a few minutes and added him at number 22.

 

then we have Thiago Andrade. what did he do to be on the list? if your big highlight is that NYCFC found him through their scouting network then maybe that should not be good enough. 

 

Then we have Ayo Akinola. decent player but had a really bad ACL tear. it is very hard for players to come back from that injury. in some cases, this injury becomes a reoccurring condition that could jeopardize their career. valot or holden are a very good example of this.  i hope that is not the case with him.  so if MLS is saying one of the best u22 players in MLS cannot even stay healthy or be on the field then  what it is really saying is that the league does not have any good  healthy u22 players. And i dont agree with that statement. 

 

Based on that information you could make stronger arguments for wiki, tolkin and even yearwood

Its a combo of potential and what have you done. Akinyola has performed for his national team and shown potential that bumps him up this is ultimately an excercise and a lot of is projection on behalf of the voters which is mls internal media team as well as national media

Clark at 8 is proof that MLS digital doesn't seriously watch this team.

Saw a couple twitter highlights of a teenage American and rocketed him way higher than he should be whether it's based on potential or performance.

If you scan YouTube looking for Bradley Wright-Phillips, youll find numerous goal compilations, a few interviews and, eventually, an excerpt from the grime mixtape series Lord of the Mics.

I have been really impressed with Tolkin this season.

He actually blew my expectations out of the water.

When considering the reliability of such a list, think of https://en.wikipedia...wiki/Freddy_Adu

Yall keep ignoring that the voting took place a month if not more ago and that its not a strictly about who is most inform its a combination of what their future looks like

Tolkin has put in an insanely mature performance this season. Basically MLS starter level at 2 positions.

This directed at me? If so, not sure what this means
