<p>Really difficult to keep up with all of this! A lot of film is watched. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>I have to give a big shout out to @ImYouthSoccer Instagram page for keeping up with these names flying off the board. Incredible work.</p>

<p>It is all happening so fast this year. 2026 & 2027's are making their verbal commitments to different schools. I'd like to remind everyone that verbal commitments mean nothing until a letter of intent is signed. Players & Programs flip their verbal commitments all the time throughout this process. It's a very interesting time in American Youth Women's Soccer, as players seem to be more eager to commit to schools than in past years. Many without even going on a visit to the school. Is this a good thing for the programs and the players? Only time will tell.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>It's a fascinating system where kids can commit their futures to a program a whole 2 years before they step on campus. I will be giving out grades to recent verbal commitments. Please keep in mind if you are reading this and you didn't get the grade you wanted. Please keep in mind, if you have committed to play at a Division 1, 2 or 3 soccer program you are a great soccer player. Only 7% of high schooler do what you have the opportunity to do. These grades are based on overall fit, style of play/positional need of that particular program, how the program is doing this season and if I believe the commitment will last 4-5 years.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>I also encourage players to make their highlight reel easy to access for scouts to evaluate on your social media profiles. If you have committed and have not received a grade and want one. Please reach out via email. nikolai@evolvesportsgroup.com </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Really wish I could have found some highlights on this player because her resume is ridiculous. #2 overall player out of Texas is headed to an excellent program/athletic department Clemson University. A lot of ties this year for Clemson thus far but have proven they can compete with the best in the country. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Headed to Delaware in 2027 Miko has a proven record scoring a bunch of goals in high school. She's an excellent finisher. Delaware are having a great season and have every opportunity to make the NCAA Tournament. Miko will do well to play right away but it's very possible she can come off the bench year 1 and contribute. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Staying in state and going to the beautiful campus of USF in 2027. Sanchez has excellent feet and ability to get in attacking pockets. I would say she is a true 10. After starting the season poorly the Bulls are on a great run winning their last 4 matches. With continued success they are in a great position to qualify for NCAA Tournament as of now. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Headed to Holy Cross in 2027 the Midfield/Defender combo player is a Select ECNL product. Ranked #47 overall in Massachusetts suggests she has promise and probably one to develop. Not much film to be seen. There will definitely be a climate adjustment. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Headed to the University of Buffalo Rivilla is a Penn Fusion Goalkeeper who at 5'7 is right around average height for a Division 1 Goalkeeper.

<p>Committing to Fresno State for the 2026 season Gomez who at 5'5 seems a bit undersized for the Division 1 game. Not much film to be seen. Seems like a bit of a panic pick up to me from the Bulldogs. They do have a winning record at 3-2-2 and everything to play for this season. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Staying local and choosing what is probably one of the most beautiful college campuses in the country the Pepperdine Waves as her next home. Dominguez is an [program_tooltip program_id='283389' first='LA' last='Breakers'] standout who is an electrifying dribbler. Great pick up by the Waves who have played an extremely tough schedule and sit at 3-4-1. They are always a threat to win the WCC and she definitely fits the mold of a great player in this league. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Headed to Villanova in 2027. She doesn't have a profile or ranked but the film does not lie. Excellent striker out of FC Delco. She will need to get stronger to handle the Big East style of play. More importantly she is a lethal two foot shooter that will have success at the next level. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">The Forward/Midfield combo player is headed to Washington State in 2027. The Wazzu love long athletic players to develop. She is a Utah Celtic product headed to the PAC 12. Not much film on her or ranked so difficult to gauge fit. The Cougars are struggling this season at 1-3-4 although have a few promising ties. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Great player out of Canada headed to UCLA. Canadian International player who is a problem at the international level. Scores great goals and has the athletic profile to thrive anywhere on the pitch. The rich get richer indeed as the Bruins are destroying their competition recruiting this year. This team could compete at the professional level. </p>
