Three of the top four picks in Friday’s MLS Draft in Los Angeles will be spending some more time together in the area as they look to impress U.S. Under-20 national team head coach Tab Ramos.
Miles Robinson, Jonathan Lewis and Jeremy Ebobisse are among the 24 players called into U.S. Under-20 camp taking place at the U.S. Soccer National Training Center in Carson, California.
Jonathan Klinsmann, coach of former USMNT coach Jurgen Klinsmann, is also in the camp, having been a regular in the group for the past year.
U.S. Under-17 national team standout Josh Sargent is also in the group as the youngest player called.
The group will train from January 15-23, before heading to Orlando for another camp from Jan. 31 to Feb. 10. The U.S. Under-20s will take part in the CONCACAF Under-20 championships in Costa Rica. The Americans kick off that tournament on Feb. 18 against Panama.

Thats a pretty good group of forwards if we can get them the ball.
HAHA I FOUND OUT BECAUSE MY PHONE TOLD ME HAHAHAHA
I was hoping to never see the words “Klinsmann” and “USMNT” in the same sentence ever again. Jonathan can kick rocks IMHO. let him play for Ze Germans…
Oh come on man… Jesus.
Someone please tell me how he found out…
I believe he may have been notified through his phone.
“Johnathan Klinsmann, coach of former USMNT coach Jurgen Klinsmann”
Proofreading is a lost art at SBI. Can I join the writing staff or is there no room with the current surplus of professionals.
It could be taken to mean JK was getting his coaching lessons from a teenager.
