I like Johannson but he will be hurt, Green will be an impact for us, he is starting to get some good PT

I think Weah will start to see some time with a first team and be an option.

Rubin will be a player to keep tabs on as well this next year. Hopefully he does well at Tijuana.

I think it will be important to how EPB does as well in Belgium. Helps get him his work permit, plus I am not sold on Brooks staying healthy.

Zimmerman doesn't belong in this group at all lol. Isn't he the same guy that closelined a Bosnia player for penalty? Too slow and clumsy, low iq.
EPB easy.

Saief over Acosta easy.

Boyd, Novakovich, Green or Rubin over Morris. Morris doesn't have the chops to be an intl player. Lacks the quality and fight/ ambition.

Stanko or Morales if DWill is hurt.

Not knowing who the manager will be, or what type of formation we'll potentially use makes it very difficult to project a 23 man roster. A lot can happen over the next 18 months....players will rise and fall. The Players I think could/should be under consideration:

Keeper: Guzan, Hamid, Steffen, Horvath, Gonzalez
Defense:
CB - Brooks, Miazga, CCV, Zimmerman, Glad, EPB, Alvarado
RB - Yedlin, Moore, Chandler, Fossey
LB - Villafana, Robinson, Vincent, Lima, D. Acosta
Midfield:
CDM: Williams, K. Acosta, Adams, Canouse, Roldan
CM: McKennie, Parks, Lletget, Hyndmann, Delgado
ACM: Pulisic, Scott, Akale
RM: Arriola, Gooch, Taitague
LM: Saief, Green, Amon, Tillman
Forward: Wood, Siebatcheu, Morris, Wright, Rubin, Novakovich, Johannsson/Boyd

Lots of options out there including some that I've intentionally left off (Jozy & Bradley), but will come down to whomever the coach is, who is in form, and who is healthy at the end of next year.

Dave the biggest issue I have with your list is Gooch. If he cannot get on the field for a team fighting relegation in the Championship, how is he USMNT quality.
