Last Update: December 23, 2010
This year the Generation adidas names were kicked into high gear by Steven Goff who beat me to the punch on the Ga list this time. That list is usually just the kicking off point, as you will see from the names that are on here from last year.
If I get action on a name, I will move him up to the top. Got a name for us or a story about a player going pro? Send it me at buzz@3rddegree.net.
