From year to year, the needs of every college program can change greatly. Now that the 2014 classes have pretty much taken shape, here is an early look at the 2015 classes and what some of the best men’s programs are looking for to fill out the roster next year.

Note: The roster projection for each team is based off either announced recruits or the recruiting class based on verbal commitments known to TopDrawerSoccer.com. In no way did any program contribute or endorse this list.
