He is one of those players who provide the special moments. The attacking talent who can take over a game at the drop of the hat. Dangerously dynamic from the wing, Spivey's pace of play separates him from his peers in this class. He breezes past defenders with close control and elite pace. Spivey wears the captain's armband for his club team as a leader for his team. He is likely going to lead the rankings in this class in the future too.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["335586"],"_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-69028e143808f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Smith is an attacking talent on the SVSA 2012 MLS Next team. He can play as a midfielder or a forward. He will pop up in a number of different spots from game-to-game. The key aspect of his game is how frequently he is involved in the play. Smith earns a lot of touches on the ball and makes the most of his chances. It has been an up-and-down campaign early for SVSA, but the peaks for the team have been brilliant and extremely promising. Smith has been heavily involved in those best moments. He's quick with his decisions and decisive in the final third. He's got the skill to be a key player for his club team for a long time.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["332253"],"_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-69028e14380e4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Brasfield was highlighted in September for his play at the US Soccer Talent ID event in Northern California. He continues to impress at the MLS Next level. The midfielder is a fiercely competitive two-way player. He is just as likely to fly into a challenge with slide tackle as he is to dance past a defender with his nimble footwork and ball control. Brasfield can play a variety of positions and finds ways to impact the game constantly. He has a bright future in the sport.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["335574"],"_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-69028e1438132"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Sanchez is a right back on the [program_tooltip program_id='283641' first='De' last='Anza Force'] 2012 MLS Next team. He has been a star through the first few months of the season. He's been excellent defensively - especially in 1v1 duels when he can stand up wingers and cleanly win possession of the ball. More importantly for his team, he's also found the back of the net a few times too. He's not the type of outside back who is always flying into the attack. He's smart about assessing the opportunity and then ruthless when the chance is open. Sanchez has clearly thrown his name into consideration as one of the best outside backs in California in the 2030 class.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["335588"],"_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-69028e143819c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Gonzalez is a forward on the Albion SC Merced 2012 MLS Next team. He plays as a center forward. He is capable of playing on an island with limited support. He's strong and uses his body well against center backs. Gonzalez has been effective against the top defenders in this age group. He holds onto the ball under pressure. He wins opportunities for his side. And he finishes chances. Gonzalez should be on the radar for all scouts.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["335576"],"_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-69028e14381f0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kiesel is a forward on the [program_tooltip program_id='283611' first='Atletico' last='Santa Rosa'] 2012 MLS Next team. He can play as a center forward or on the wing. He is a towering figure on the youth field. His long strides have been a signature of his game. He bursts past the defense when he gets the ball in front of him and races into the open field with a purpose. He's a good finisher with efficiency. Kiesel has the tools to be a top player in this class for a long time.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["335596"],"_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-69028f4a81b8f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kim is a midfielder on the [program_tooltip program_id='283732' first='Sacramento' last='Republic'] 2012 MLS Next team. He is listed as a defensive midfielder on his player profile. He probably is better classified as a box-to-box midfielder. He's been a star in either role at the MLS Next level. He's a hard-working player who covers a ton of ground in the game. He is one of the midfielders coaches will depend on to track any runner and cut out the cross. Kim is reliable on the ball too. He makes quick decisions and shows good vision. The Republic team is one of the top in the country and he has been a key part of that success. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
