Rankings Preview: Top 5 in California 2029 Class

It is that time of year where the next generation of high schooler's are getting ranked and analyzed by our scouts. These 5 players have impressed for their respective club teams as well as Youth National Team camps, ODP, PDP, and Women's teams. Here is a sneak peak of PrepSoccer's 2029 California rankings with the full list coming soon.    At #1 we have the Oakland native and Mustang Soccer Club superstar. Siedel is a special talent who has two great feet, endless energy and truly superlative technique. She can play 7 through 11 at an extremely high level. She has been a fixture at youth national team camps and already has a couple USLW appearances for the Oakland Soul which unfortunately got cut a little short after sustaining a foot injury. She is headed to Bishop O'Dowd high school this year whom with the addition of her and the great roster that is already in place has a real shot at winning a Norcal State Championship.     Coming in a very close second is the San Juan standout defender who terrorizes opposition on both ends. She is primary used as an outside wing back and if I was a winger going against her I would want to be on the other side. Sullivan is an exceptional 1 v 1 player and an phenomenal crosser of the ball. She has exceptional technique and feel for the game. A rare talent who can change a game at a moments notice.     There's another one ladies and gentlemen. Coming in at #3 [player_tooltip player_id='280236' first='Zoe' last='Thompson'] is the latest one in her very famous soccer family to make a name for herself on the youth circuit. If you talk to coaches and scouts they think that she may be the best of the bunch. Her two big sisters Alyssa and Gisele have paved the way and it would seem that Zoe has had an extreme advantage of being around them during her own development. Her instincts on and off the ball are top class and her change of pace is different level. Could there be three sisters on the same team in the NWSL soon? What a story if it does come too fruition.     Coming in at #4 is the lethal finisher from [program_tooltip program_id='283257' first='Bay' last='Area Surf'] [player_tooltip player_id='270098' first='Macie' last='Lomeli']. Lomeli has an exceptional ability to pick out the corners when she finishes. She doesn't over power balls she places them with just enough pace to keep it out of reach for opposing goalkeepers. She is also excellent at driving forward on the dribble and creates a ton of chances for her teammates with her well timed passing. She's been with the youth national team and seems to project very highly moving forward.     At #5 [player_tooltip player_id='295792' first='Amada' last='Rodriguez'] is a spitfire Left Back playing a year up for the 2-time national champion Slammers HB Koge. When you watch her play you hear a lot of scouts and coaches say "that Rodriguez girl is everywhere" and she really lives up to that. When it comes to the left back position she ticks off every box. Athletic, competitive, smart, technically sound and exceptional in 1 v 1 situations. She has a rocket for a left foot and an extremely bright future. Full steam ahead for this young prospect.
