A new season will be arriving shortly, which means it's almost offseason processing time. As part of every offseason, I like to update the Canadian scouting lists, and take a look at how our best prospects have been developing. To start things off, I've gone over the current 18 year olds (who will be 19 soon), and have produced some very rough player rankings. These rank lists are based on development from a U21 point of view.

Right after the draft, I highlighted which players had the best starting skills (in my opinion), and the initial list can be found here: (182294.1). After 13 weeks or so of training, things have certainly been shaken up a lot, which was expected.

Guard Rankings (PG, SG, Guard-type SFs):

1. Julien Berthelot; (19313702)
2. Gian Carlo Mucci; (19313523)
3. Steven Trotter; (19315778)
4. Fabrizio Garippa; (19314483)
5. Mark Meadows; (19313135)
6. Erik Amaya; (19315070)
7. Stephen O'Higgins; (19314389)
8. Lesley Bergman; (19315439)
9. Fabio Capece; (19314801)
10. Zhang Shichao; (19314633)
11. Roderick Maher; (19314355)
12. Hugo Grajcar; (19313636)
13. Xavier Vatuvei; (19317377)
14. Ralf Jochims; (19314514)
15. Jacky Turcotte; (19314811)
16. Candrapada Venkatesh; (19313726)

C/PF Rankings (includes PF-type SFs)

1. Curtis Worley; (19313993)
2. Michel Campagnat; (19313677)
3. Ian Ketkar; (19314863)
4. Zahir Omar; (19313184)
5. Moses Main; (19313108)
6. Matthew Crowley; (19314245)
7. Jeremiah Estep; (19314126)
8. Yann Demers; (19321253)
9. Stefano Vecchio; (19315008)
10. John Cutler; (19313383)
11. Léo Laverdure; (19314640)

This is an interesting group of prospects, with typical depth, and some real gems up near the top. Curtis Worley is one of the best 19 year old C's that Canada has ever had, and he has the chance to be Glenn Richards 2.0 if his training pace keeps up. Looking at the guards, Julian Berthelot is my pick for the best guy in his age group at this point, and he has also received an excellent first season of training.

I just want to say that Mark Meadows will be probably on sale in middle of the season (one week before I switch from outside to inside training). I dont want him to lose any trainings. He will get some pops in passing before then, so probably OD, JS or one on one would be best training for him

How Much $ ?

I will see how many pops I can get from him in upcoming weeks. It won't be overpriced because of his allstar potential. That's for sure.

Could you PM me his skills? I will be making the switch from inside to outside skills at essentially the same time. I will also have a Canadian trainee available, so maybe a trade of sorts would work...

Campagnat has really popped well this season. I think he has one more inside season before he reaches cap though.

Too bad for his star potential only.

Yeah, it is too bad about Campagnat's potential. His overall skill level is very high for his age, and with higher potential, he'd be worthy of as much hype as Cutris Worley has been getting. Star potential is a bit low for big men, but depending on how the guys with higher potential develop, he could end up being a U21 candidate. For now, Campagnat is one of the top 2 big men in his age group, and he has definitely improved very quickly so far.

sure. sorry for replying that late but i didnt have access to internet for a while

don't think you can post his skills if he is forsale.

He's not even Canadian. This is just you trying to advertise a transfer.

For the record, I have a player on my roster with better skills at age 19 but much lower potential. I am sure there is a high potential 19 year old out there who is better and I think Canada has produced some (Speakerman maybe?).
