She is one of the standouts from that team. She is a good passer and excellent defensively. Crabtree is pretty good on the dribble and can take on players through the center channel with his elusiveness and skill. She could improve on her field awareness as she can get caught in possession when she fails to check her shoulders before receiving the ball. Crabtree is able to navigate out of those situations usually with her skill and quick feet. She has high upside as a commanding presence in the center of the field from the defensive midfield position.u003c/pu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["110516"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"u003cp class=u0022p1u0022u003eStalin is an attacking midfielder on the Sporting Blue Valley 09 ECNL team. She was previously named to the USYS National Presidents Cup Best XI in 2021 when her club team won the national championship in the U13 age group. Stalin impressed scouts in recent ECNL games with her skill on the ball. She is exceptional at losing her mark when there is a defender on her back and she has control of the ball at her feet. Her elusiveness is among the best I've seen from a midfielder. Stalin could improve on her influence on the game without the ball at her feet. There were times when watching Sporting's recent games that she drifted out of the play for stretches and had a hard time finding windows to impact the game. When she is on, she can be unstoppable. Improving her tactical knowledge to find those pockets of space where she can be influential will take her game to the next level. The potential is there for a player who could be among the best in the nation in her position.u003c/pu003e","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["150126"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"u003cp class=u0022p1u0022u003eDevine is an attacking midfielder for the Kansas City Athletics 09 ECNL team. She was recently called into the US Soccer Talent ID center. Devine is a lightning quick player who plays the game at full speed at all times. She is always active in the center of the field. Playing against Devine seems similar to facing a swarm of bees. She is an engulfing presence in her pressure with her quickness and determination. Good in the press and excellent in finding the center forward as soon as there is a turnover, Devine has shown this season that she is an elite passer for the position.u003c/pu003e","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["23572"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"u003cp class=u0022p1u0022u003eRinehart is a center midfielder for KC Athletics 08 ECNL team. She is a good two-way player. She is a high work-rate midfielder. She has a strong right foot and can connect passes with accuracy. Rinehart could be more aggressive in the midfield. She does the hard work to get to the spots to make the tackle but often delays the attacker rather than putting in the challenge. If she adds a bit more bite to her game, she will quickly climb up the rankings.u003c/pu003e","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["150138"],"_player_evaluations_4_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"u003cp class=u0022p1u0022u003eMinnigerode is a midfielder on SLSG 09 MO ECNL. Minnigerode stood out from game film in the ECNL this season. She is a box-to-box midfielder. She has quick feet and a good soccer brain. Her ability to put her foot on the ball and change the pace of the game is rare at this age group. She is always looking to be an option for teammates - her off-the-ball movement really impressed me from game film- and does well in scanning the field to finding open passing lanes. Minnigerode has been a standout early in the season for SLSG 09 ECNL.u003c/pu003e","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_5_player":["150282"],"_player_evaluations_5_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"u003cp class=u0022p1u0022u003eKamer is a midfielder on Sporting Blue Valley 08 ECNL. She is a defensive midfielder who has excellent footwork and great tactical understanding. Kamer stood out from Sporting Blue Valley game film as one of the stars of the Sporting midfield. She was always an option for her teammate in possession. She moved well without the ball and she did well playing 1-2 touch to get away from pressure and change the point of attack for her side. Kamer is quick in tight spaces and difficult to mark with her excellent first touch, she is an ideal prospect for a possession-dominant style of play midfielder. Kamer's high ranking might raise some eyebrows, but she's one all scouts should watch during this club season.u003c/pu003e","_player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_6_player":["23561"],"_player_evaluations_6_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_6_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_6_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_6_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_6_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"u003cp class=u0022p1u0022u003eDoherty is midfielder on the SLSG Navy 08 ECNL team. She is a tireless worker in the midfield. There is hardly a moment in the game when she isn't making an action. She's a coach's favorite because of the effort she puts in for her side. She is an unsung hero of the team as she doesn't always hog the spotlight, but she did get some time out of the wing in a recent game and provided an assist. She has that quality in the final third to make a difference, but it's her unbeatable engine that makes her a top prospect in this class.u003c/pu003e","_player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_7_player":["23591"],"_player_evaluations_7_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_7_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_7_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_7_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_7_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_7_evaluation":"u003cp class=u0022p1u0022u003eArnau is an attacking midfielder on Sporting Blue Valley 08 ECNL. She has been invited to the US Soccer Talent ID Center in the past. She is a technical player with excellent ball skill. She is a clever dribbler with top level potential in that aspect of her game. Arnau's dazzling displays on the ball suggest she has an international future. Her vision and passing reveal that she should be considered a top player from the region in this class.u003c/pu003e","_player_evaluations_7_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":8,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65257fb0d96ad"} /-->
