All four are coming to Akron?  Really?

 

No. Look at the picture. Daniel Strachan is the only player wearing a Zips hat.

I got to see Petno play a few times last Fall as well as his junior year.  He really filled out his frame in 2016 and is both quick and strong.  Can muscle up if game gets physical....

Have watched Petno since he was in Jr. High, a match or two each year. He has improved every year.  Frankly, he is surprisingly good.  Good players can usually be spotted by time of puberty.  Petno is a late bloomer.  Who knows what he will become.

 

Very good middle distance runner in Track. Excellent wheels. Offensive minded but probably not a classic #9.  Big & Fast!

 

His father was a high school team mate of mine.

On a positive, upbeat note, I love the twitter photos of the recruits being shown as off the ground and all looking very athletic.

Very creative....and of course, I love the packed grandstand in the background.

 

and thank you to Coach Embick and his staff and the SID for getting this info out on Feb. 2nd and of course giving us hope that more athletes will be coming in the upcoming months

 

I know that all of us got spoiled in the pre generation adidas and pre homegrown years when akron was signing 5 top 25 kids.

 

It is important to remember from last year's group of new players...that Jonathan Lewis was not anywhere to be found in top drawer soccer or college soccer news top 50 or top 100 lists.  Those 2 websites don't always get it right.  It is safe to say that Coach Embick and his staff know soccer talent and have forgotten more about soccer than some of the writers rating talent for top drawer soccer.  Also, remember that Ben Lundt was a last minute sign from a soccer college that does not have a stellar pedigree.

 

On this date, I am thankful that the signing info was released within the first 2 days of the signing day and I want to wish a warm welcome to the 7 freshman and Morgan Hackworth.   You have all come to a college with many fans that love Akron soccer.

Players for academies (Internationals) often do not play high school ball.  They are discouraged from doing so.
