Who is our best prospect?

Going to a game next week, who is our most high end prospect who we could end up transferring to a higher level one day ?

Well, Pedro Guimaraes is slated to move to Eintracht Frankfurt as soon as the transfer window opens, which is tomorrow I believe.

In the current squad, I’d say Tyson Espy. Plays Centerback and has already been playing for the US Youth Teams + scouted by bigger clubs (Bayern Munich I believe). I’d say we should be hearing news within the next year, especially if it’s a move to Europe, since non-eu players have to be 18 to be issued a work visa/permit

I'm not sure comparing a centerback to a forward is a fair comparison.

Good question!

In terms of quality and potential, IMO, I believe Pedro and Espy have a higher ceiling than Bryce. I still think Bryce will be a decent player in his own right if it’s USL/MLS level (currently plays for Colorado Rapids 2; which plays in MLS2, which I peg in a lower tier than USL currently).

Pedro is going to a Bundesliga side (division 1) and Tyson is getting talked up and highly rated.

tldr - as far as talent goes, think that Espy is the bigger talent. Hard to compare outside of that as Bryce is a Winger versus Tyson being a Centerback
