Just found this. Not sure if this was ever posted? Maddie Dimaria USWYNT, 2024 Gatorade NATIONAL POY., 2025 Gatorade Missouri POY
Could be a candidate for early enrollment or she may never see college?
I am adding names to the first post in this thread as I find them

Prior to the final PK, I said to my wife "I wouldn't mind if she just blasted this over the crossbar."
The girl for TT Who missed her PK had a blood sugar monitor on the back of her right arm. Playing D1 soccer w diabetes. RESPECT
So I did a deep dive on 2027 recruits and created this chart which is now also added to the 1st post in this thread. The rankings are not complete because I do not have subscriptions to Top Drawer nor Prep Soccer. I just put them in when I could find them publicly available elsewhere. (And the info I did find may be out of date if rankings were updated)
This looks to be a MONSTER class. We landed the top 2 recruits and 5 others with national team experience. It will be interesting to see if anyone reclassifies and I hope we can keep them all.
Let me know any mistakes or adds.

I see conflicting info on whether Manning is still a 2027 recruit or may have reclassified to 2026

#2 seed TCU handles Memphis easily 4-0. We will play them on Sunday same field which is their home
TCU is ranked 5th in RPI, so we even get the toughest 2 seed to go along with our already vanquished toughest 3 seed and the 6 seed TT who should have been a 4 seed.
#1 seed Vandy and #4 seed LSU also advance in our region; the TCU/UNC winner will play that game's winner. So no luck in upsets along our path.

Sweet 16. We want more. Keep it going!
UNC plays Monday @ 2:00 pm against home-standing TCU, one of four #2 seeds in the field. The Horned Frogs defeated #7 seed Memphis 4-0. TCU is the 5th ranked team in the country.
Three other ACC teams have advanced to the round of 16: #1 seed UVa, #2 seed dook and #3 seed FSU. No.1 seed ND was upset by unseeded Ohio State. The Buckeyes and the Heels are the only unseeded teams among the remaining 16 teams.
The other three ACC teams play Sunday.

the prgame showed Thomas and Malsom (!?) up top with Faasse and Devey at center mid and Pennie moved out to the wing. We tend to play amorphous with liberal switching but that is a little surprising if accurate
Thomas has played tons more right wing the last third of the season and it has worked pretty well. she is good at getting the cross and seems to be a little more on frame in shots.
Don’t like this bunch. Quick to deliver shots on defense, quick to flop on offense.
TCU hasn't impressed me nearly as much as I thought they would, considering the margins of victory in their first two games. They don't have anyone particularly dynamic in the attack. We can win this.
I'm glad Damon put OT back up top. Outside of one nice cross in the first 10 minutes, she was just giving us nothing playing in that wide position where she was having to track back to defend. She's clearly a lifetime forward who has almost zero interest in defending, especially in her own half....and let's face it, she is good at one thing....putting her head down and running at players and trying to score. She's not a great (or willing) passer at all, and just looks disinterested if she's not in the attacking third. As a coach, I get annoyed with that kind of mentality, but it is what it is and we need to use her amazing athleticism in the way that helps us win. Faasse is much better suited to play in that wide position (or even in a midfield role) because she will track back and defend, and she can distribute the ball and retain possession in midfield. OT just needs to play the 9 (center forward) and use her speed...it almost paid off for us with that breakaway, but it was a hell of a save by TCU's keeper.
Pretty impressed that we're 60 minutes into this and Johann hasn't been tested yet. They had one good shot go wide, but otherwise, have not threatened us so far. I don't think TCU is used to chasing the other team (which is better at holding possession) like they are having to today. Hopefully our legs don't give out here down the stretch, this game is there for the taking!
