Akron can make a ridiculous pro Best XI out of former players Since the mid-aughts, Akron’s been churning out quality soccer players at an incredible rate. If Akron under Ken Lolla was a regional power and nationally respectable, Akron under Caleb Porter was an out-and-out machine. Since Porter took over in 2005, the Zips have produced nine first round MLS draft picks and a handful of undrafted stars in the making. Even Porter made it to the pros... EDIT: "...the craziest thing about this lineup is every player on it has turned pro since 2010. What? Don’t forget the bench, either. This team has options. Scott Caldwell, who’s played 55 games in MLS’ best midfield over the last two years, would be a no-doubt bench player. Kofi Sarkodie is available as well, meaning you could move Yedlin up to RM, push Mattocks up top, slide Nagbe into the hole and scoot Sarkodie into the right back position. Ben Speas is a late-game option, and so too is Ben Zemanski, who filled in ably for Will Johnson and can do the same for either Kitchen or Trapp. ..."
