Miller is with the U-21s.

DM – Sebastian Rodriguez, Houston Dynamo
Rodriguez is with Mexico during this window.

CM – Darius Lane, Brighton
Lane is working back from injury and hasn’t yet featured for Brighton this season, but he’s reportedly close.

AM – Gavin Turner, D.C. United
U.S. Soccer seems to prefer others; I still rate Turner highly.

AM/W – Zane Okoro, Lincoln City
Another European-based player still waiting on a first U.S. camp invite.

W – Xantiago Oyharcabal, Athletic Club
I don’t usually push for players I haven’t seen in full matches, but Oyharcabal’s numbers and highlights are intriguing at a position of weakness for this group.

W – Zavier Gozo, Real Salt Lake
Gozo is playing with the U-21s.

W – Aiden Hezarkhani, Real Salt Lake
I rate Hezarkhani above some of the wingers here.

CF – Jykese Fields, Hoffenheim
Fields, who had been in the last two U.S. camps, is representing Germany this window—who the U.S. will face in Wales. He’s been in excellent form for Hoffenheim. While it’s unclear where his international preference lies, if he had the option, Germany may have the current edge.

CF – Din Klapija, RB Leipzig
There are rumors of an incident in his last camp being the reason for his absence, though that remains unconfirmed.

This roster hasn’t changed much over the past year, which makes sense given that the 2007 class isn’t particularly deep—but there are still European-based players who deserve a look, especially Oyharcabal. Losing Jykese Fields to Germany (for now) could prove costly. The team lacks size and speed, and Fields brings both. Hopefully, U.S. Soccer can get him back in the fold.

The goalkeeper, full-back, and center-back groups are solid. Ukaegbu’s return is great to see, and this full-back cohort remains a strength.

Midfield and wide areas are where the group feels stagnant. Dills, Shore, and Brunell are quality options, but the rest are more replacement-level. Pita is the only true winger here, and with Fields gone, Ellis is the only natural striker—U.S. Soccer didn’t call a second center forward.

Overall, the roster construction feels uneven, particularly in midfield and attack. The attack should improve once the 2008 and 2009 classes begin to integrate into this cycle early next year ahead of World Cup qualifying. The midfield, however, could remain a concern into the next U-20 cycle.
