The players featured include college commits, 1 winning a High School Section Championship, another winning an ECNL National Championship, 3 players participating in the NorCal PDP tour in England, 1 player on the El Salvador U-17 National team, and another on the Panama U-17 National team.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Previously serving as the ID Camp Director and later a Prep Soccer scout, I've had the privilege of evaluating each player once and a few maybe 4 or more times.&nbsp; The talent level was off the charts.&nbsp; The great part was that only a few of the players made their commitments and some will get the June 15th calls.&nbsp; Major decisions will be made very soon and I look forward to updating their college recruiting journey and beyond.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Definitely can't wait to see what's in store for their upcoming ECNL and high school season.

Impressive to say the least, but the talent level of the NorCal region is definitely top-notch. Super proud of these players, as I've seen them put in many hours to improve on their skills and grow as elite players. Most importantly, the connections with the players and their parents are what I love about what I do. Hats off to the parents as well, as they sacrificed a lot to get them to this level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Rendino and Hernandez are star players on their respective national teams.They both participated in the Women's Final Round of Concacaf from March 31st to April 6th, 2025.With Rendino representing Panama (8th-ranked) and Hernandez with El Salvador (6th-ranked), it will be exciting to see them play with their teams on the world stage.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Write Up:</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>1.

I picked the Cardinals as an underdog with the talent and chemistry to win it all. They delivered at every match as they took down the top 4 ranked teams in the tournament. It was great to evaluate her during her team's match at the national playoffs. Seeing her on a new club team ([program_tooltip program_id='283312' first='Davis' last='Legacy']) was a treat, as she also just came back from an injury sustained from a CONCACAF match. She was impressive as always, as she and her defense held their opponent to only one goal at the ECNL playoffs. As a U-17 member of the Panama national team, she will have to wait until opportunities present themselves, but I'm definitely looking forward to seeing her playing at other top-level events.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["111113"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-689d6c8a51a52"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">She is a top-tier LCB in the class of 2028.She was a starter and a big part of the Cardinal Newman championship run for the North Coast Division 2 championship.
