Hope Kevaughn Tavernier gets a call-up. Training and playing with Forge's first team now. That's better than U16/U17 ball in an academy.

I could see him missing out but if Tahid isn’t there we have serious issues in this country.

The draw has concluded.

We will face Spain, Mali and Uzbekistan.

Matchdays will likely be

Friday, November 10th

Monday, November 13th

Thursday, November 16th.

I assume games will be very early in the morning (for those in Canada), given the time difference with Indonesia.

The senior #CanMNT may also play on the Thursday, but more likely they will play on the Friday, 17th.

I just read that Harry is only born in Canada but was raised in St-Vincent and in Arizona. Is it the same with Stewart Baynes or does he have stronger ties to Canada?

Stewart-Baynes went to high school in Etobicoke and played for Vaughan's youth setup (although he was not born in Canada). It seems as though the family is located in Canada, and N'Keal lived with a relative in Arizona to pursue sport.

Kevaughn Tavernier starts for Forge

Not the worst draw for Canada if you go by how each nation faired in their qualifying tournament.  Mali and Uzbekistan were both 4th.

Tavernier and Tahid are both in this camp in Brazil which is great news

We could/should have 3 players who have played professional first team minutes on this team. I can’t recall us ever having 1 in the past.

The power of the Can PL.

With the exceptional rule that number will climb in the coming years.

Funny, we played Brazil's U17s almost exactly  four years ago...

Not many at all of these are playing at any notable level. Jayden Nelson is, perhaps, the most prominent.

Indeed. Doesn't seem like the cycle was a success.

Hope the CPL is changing this! Slowly

5 in MLS

4 in CPL

2 in Europe

5 in MLS Next

At least 2 still in NCAA with a chance to go pro.  Doesn't seem too bad to me.

Franklin is an MLS starter at 20 and JRR is having a pretty decent first pro year at 21 for a pretty good MLS team. Plus Kerr looks like he’s starting to figure it out at 20 starting in MLS. That squad isn’t busting at the seams with talent, but if we can get like 3-4 solid pros within 4 years from our U17 team, maybe a few more since we’ve grown over the past few years, I don’t think that’s totally awful. 
 

It is disappointing to know that any given 15 or so players on our team that will be announced are going to do a whole lot of nothing with their careers, but I think we should expect a solid haul from this team. These guys are still all very young too.

Just Crepeau and Piette really stand out as MNT contributors with great pro careers.

Interesting looking at England’s. Raheem Sterling, Jordan Pickford, Nathan Redman, and then a bunch of non league guys, a Rangers player and a couple EFL players. Most guys don’t make it. 

[VinceA]

Generally speaking most players at the U17 level don't pan out for most countries.

New name from the camp roster release:

Lino Aklil (2006) - Montpellier U19s - current Algerian U17 international

Looking through that list, all the names we’ve talked about look to be there?

Wonder why. I assume Richard is his brother, and he got called up.
