Okay Owlsbaseball, you must not have read what I said. I said DT is one of the best sophmores in the city. Maybe the best, I don't know? How is this a put down? Is DT at the same level as Kit Brady or Bach, no. I think Daniel would agree.
As for playing in a tough district, the only competition in the district is Soddy and Red Bank. I know the Owls lost in the playoffs to RB 1-0 and lost a game to Soddy 1-0, so I don't know where the 12 goals came from, but it wasn't tough district competition. You point to his speed and field awareness, but most of the other players listed on this thread have those skills. DT will be an elite HS player, but he is not there yet.
Is DT one of the best 3-4 guys his district - yes
Does Baylor have at least 3 guys better than DT - yes
Does McCallie have at least 2 guys better than DT - yes
Does DT still get knocked off the ball because of his size - yes
Does Gary Tackling get knocked off the ball because of his size - no
Believe it or not, size does matter in soccer.
