TAMPA, Fla. - January camps can often be taken with a grain of salt given their nature, the lack of foreign-based club-competing players and for a number of other reasons. However, the Gregg Berhalter era has already showed a glimpse of what could be with the U.S. Men's National Team; and it's been great news thus far for several for USL League Two players.

In two recent friendlies, the USMNT earned 3-0 and 2-0 victories against Panama and Costa Rica, respectively. Again, the competition and caliber of players selected have to be factored in, but several former League Two talents did themselves a great service by performing well throughout January and early February.

New York Red Bulls defender Aaron Long -- who formerly played in League Two with FC Tucson -- started 180 minutes over the course of the two matches while serving as a captain for the young USMNT roster. His production for both club and country and overall meteoric rise over the last two seasons has earned him a regular place in the national team.

Meanwhile, up-and-coming players like Nick Lima (San Jose Earthquakes), Corey Baird (Real Salt Lake) and Djordje Mihailovic (Chicago Fire) each earned a place on Berhalter's radar with quality starts in both matches for the Americans.

Lima proved to be stout as a right back for the U.S., potentially giving Berhalter a viable option at the position outside of Newcastle United defender DeAndre Yedlin. Like Long, he started every minute against Panama and Costa Rica, giving him a solid chance of earning more time with the national team in the immediate future.

Baird and Mihailovic each earned consecutive starts for the U.S., giving the young MLS-based players quality experience against a pair of CONCACAF opponents. Baird helped set up Mihailovic's goal in the team's win over Panama, while the two overall displayed their creativity in the attack.
