I think the top 100 list is a good idea, and itd be cool to be on it, but i doubt its very accurate, and is probably very biased... i personally take these ratings with a grain of salt... i've never heard of any of these players!!!

Maybe youre not in tune with the youth soccer program in america, but these players, having seen some of them play are the real deal!!! hey definately know how to play, and have a bright future in the NCAA

Quite the task i must say... they must have tons of scouts and connections at all of these showcases though, which is a great incentive for players to play their best knowing someone is always watching and evaluating their play for a chance to get on the top players list.

I would say the current Top 100 list for the '09 class is pretty accurate. I have seen many of these prospects in person and I would have to agree with most of the rankings. Sure, there are some overrated and underrated prospects here, but for the most part it's pretty solid. I was at the Houston Shootout last weekend and one of the best players I saw there was Chelsea Jones, a midfielder for Lonestars Red '91, who has committed to Texas A&M. She tore her ACL last year and basically didn't play for about 9 months, but she has come back stronger than ever. Anyway, she's not even in the database at this point, and I would say she's easily one of the Top 50 prospects in America. I saw her run circles around some of the players on this list, so there are a few problems here. Also, I saw some 4-star players listed here that are not even close to a 4-star college level prospect. I think TDS has put together a good list, but it does need some re-evaluating every 3-4 months after tournaments, camps, etc.

What is the process for players being included in the "Watch List"? How submits, verfies, and rate/ranks players?
