CalSouth announced the ODP 2002 player pool a week ago, but I just saw it now.

Obviously, it doesn't include any DA players but I was looking forward to see if it would include a good variety of players who could get some exposure that they might have not gotten before.
So I was a bit disappointed that they basically picked the entire Boca Juniors team. That just seems lazy to me. I've seen Boca Juniors play and they are indeed a very strong team, but 12 players getting selected for ODP is excessive. From what I saw, they didn't seem that deep for that many selections.
SCDSL also seems under-represented. I'm curious what the nomination process was for the winter pool. Was it just coaches recommending their own players or did they have scouts at the end of league tournaments? It definitely seems it was the former.
