Introducing Joe's Big Board, exclusively on TopDrawerSoccer.com
College player expert Joe Mauceri, the most-traveled observer of the men's college game you could hope to find, is at it again, checking his
maps and charts and preparing to deluge the college soccer schedule with his watchful presence, always with an eye to see who the top
players are in terms of prospecting for the professional ranks.
Now on TopDrawerSoccer.com we will be showcasing his observations on Joe's Big Board, a listing of the top 100 prospects for professional
soccer in the college senior class. The list will grow as the season goes on, and we're also keeping an eye on the sometimes-elusive list of top
underclassmen prospects.
Every Thursday, Joe will be sharing his most recent findings from the college soccer landscape, evaluating players, providing tidbits from big
matches across the country and basically keeping you in touch with who looks to be going places. When the season ends, he's really just
beginning to present his comprehensive analysis about who's looking the most likely to be playing professionally, both in MLS and abroad.
So without further adieu, here is the complete offering of Joe's Big Board for seniors and underclassmen prospects. Keep checking back for
