I'm sure KB & SD are as well prepared as possible. I think, unless Campbell has grown significantly*, it is highly likely that we will have a selection before him and/or Gulden. That will mean that we have the opportunity to draft 3 players with the most known ability based on underage performances at the 2019 championships.
With list sizes possibly/likely being reduced as a cost saving measure, it may mean that we only take these 3 selections. If we take a 4th it would also be likely to be the other academy prospect (Marco Rossman) who we would also know well enough.
In regards to Daniher, surely this is the biggest "buy low" opportunity? Worth the risk.
*Don't get me started on height. For me, it is a metric, especially for midfielders, that is highly overrated in drafting/recruiting. Campbell is listed currently at 178cm which would ensure he drops to mid-late first round. Gulden could go into the 2nd round at 171cm. If Campbell was to grow 3cm he would be rated top 10 even though his performance numbers would be exactly the same.
