JANUARY CAMP is now 5 days within the rearview mirror and the mud has settled. We all know Anthony Hudson will likely be working the workforce in the intervening time and presumably into this summer season’s Nations League and Gold Cup tournaments. The January camp supplied Hudson a couple of classes in advancing the workforce into the summer season months and it additionally raised a couple of questions.

The outcomes have been basically meaningless. What was vital is that gamers got an opportunity to indicate what they might do. For probably the most half, it labored out.

Vazquez in all probability will get a glance

 

Brandon Vazquez scored the workforce’s solely objective in a 2-1 loss to Serbia. It was an distinctive header and it wouldn’t be shocking if Vazquez is given a glance this March or this summer season to indicate what he can do in elevated competitors and on a workforce that isn’t in preseason type.

Competitors on the ahead place is lengthy. Along with the three forwards on the World Cup (Josh Sargent, Haji Wright, and Jesus Ferreira) you continue to have Daryl Dike, Jordan Pefok, and Ricardo Pepi knocking on the door. Vazquez can be the seventh participant on that record.

However with not one of the different choices fully seizing the job, it’s not value ending the competitors. Vazquez might want to begin the season off strongly for Cincinnati however he may conceivably make one of many two rosters this summer season for both the Nation’s League or the Gold Cup.

 

Good begin for the U-23s

 

Sooner or later this 12 months, the U.S. U-23 workforce will develop into absolutely operational because it builds as much as the 2024 Olympics. Forward of camp, Hudson stated that this roster had an eye fixed in direction of that workforce. Total, sufficient items appeared promising.

Cade Cowell performed nicely within the first sport. Whereas he missed a couple of possibilities, he nonetheless was a part of 4 very harmful scoring alternatives (together with two off the publish). If Cowell was in midseason, he’d in all probability fare higher. He’s additionally in a very good place to play a ton for San Jose this camp.

John Tolkin additionally earned his first camp and with over 5000 minutes over his previous two seasons in New York, he brings a whole lot of expertise. The identical may very well be stated for Aidan Morris who was good however not nice towards Serbia. However he’s additionally in an incredible place to have a breakthrough season below Wilfried Nancy.

Paxten Aaronson and Gaga Slonina additionally made their nationwide workforce debuts and each have solely lately made the transfer to Europe. It appears unlikely that Eintracht Frankfurt goes to rely upon Aaronson a lot the remainder of this season (though he’ll seemingly get occasional minutes) and Slonina will seemingly play for Chelsea’s U-23 workforce via the summer season. Each of those gamers will seemingly head to  the U-20 World Cup after which afterward, report back to preseason. After that, it’s nonetheless too early to foretell when they’ll get common first-team membership minutes, however they appear to be robust bets for the U-23 workforce.

For most of the U-20 eligible gamers on this roster, it appears unlikely they’ll bypass the U-20 World Cup for one of many full nationwide workforce tournaments this summers, regardless of incomes their first cap.

 

Zendejas was a sensible addition
 

Alejandro Zendejas, 24, was somewhat off however nonetheless had good moments for the workforce within the 2-1 loss to Serbia (earlier than returning to Membership America). He seems like a back-up wing choice for the workforce after Pulisic, Weah, and others.

The U.S. has some vital wing choices rising on the youth ranks however Zendejas may be capable to put himself into that equation. At a time when he’s additionally performed for Mexico, this reintroduces Zendejas into the U.S. setup and offers him a constructive expertise earlier than he may very well be requested to make a completely cap-tying look as quickly as March.

Zendejas might or will not be adequate for the workforce when everyone seems to be wholesome or after different gamers like Kevin Paredes develop (Paredes can be a left-footed winger). However for now, he ought to be within the combine and getting him into this camp was a sensible alternative.

 

Zimmerman’s future
 

Walker Zimmerman didn’t have an incredible sport towards Serbia however he adopted it up with an excellent sport towards Colombia the place he handed very well out of the again to assist arrange among the workforce’s greatest possibilities within the 0-0 draw. Not like Aaron Lengthy, who struggled mightily, Zimmerman appeared as if he nonetheless has loads of years of excellent soccer left.

Sure, the central protection pool is increasing. Along with the 4 taken to Qatar (Zimmerman, Cameron Carter-Vickers, Tim Ream, and Lengthy) there are additionally choices like Chris Richards, Erik Palmer-Brown, Mark McKenzie, and Miles Robinson additionally within the image.

However keep watch over Zimmerman as being a possible captain of the Olympic workforce. He has management, he has high worldwide expertise, and he’s at a membership that may in all probability launch him for that. In the summertime of 2024, the boys’s program will play in each the Olympics and the Copa America with little probability of gamers enjoying in each tournaments. The U-23 workforce has a dire want of skilled central defenders and one or doable two of the overage choices should be utilized in central protection. Zimmerman looks like a no brainer.
