MLS Draft 2017: Timbers, NYCFC trade big assets to move up and snag top forwards NYCFC acquired the third pick from the Chicago Fire for $250,000 in allocation money — the first-ever trade we’ve been given official word on the allocation money value thanks to a new MLS rule put in effect on Friday — to acquire Lewis. The former Akron striker opened a lot of eyes at the recent draft combine, and plays with a slick style up top coupled with smart, heads-up play not often seen from a forward of his age. I hated losing Jonathan so soon, but if he can perform in the pros with the University of Akron name forever tied to him, so be it. With the World Cup coming up next year, our President and Athletics Department need to get their heads out of their collective butts and take advantage of the popularity rise of soccer in the USA and our former Zips from coast to coast, in Europe, and on Team USA. Zips Mens Soccer, Ohio's Collegiate soccer powerhouse. Come to Akron to see tomorrow's professional soccer players. ...

I thought it was honorable mention lineman.

They have amazing culture there. Will they pay for ALL graduate school course work?

About the same time the Troy game was announced, IIRC.

If you are looking for a fun mid major game to watch tonight, Marshall MTSU just tipped off.

Seen Miami play quite a few times in person this year...Zips should have no trouble but as we know, weird things often happen when they go to Oxford. Freshman PG Michael Weathers for the RedHawks is the real deal, can consistently beat his man and get to the rim, which could pose problems for Akron guards. If the Zips key on him he can be prone to turnovers. Supporting cast is nothing at all to write home about. Michael's twin brother Marcus is a pretty good player but a bit undersized. C Logan McLane will be Big Dog's counterpart. He'll have no chance stopping Big Dog one on one so I'd expect the usual double teams. If the Zips can hit shots I personally don't see any way they lose, Miami is just not good. Then again, anything can happen in road conference games so shouldn't take anything for granted.

I think we win a grinder at Millett. Trap game coming off a nice win before the big showdown, plus we have laid some eggs there. But the Zips will find a way to win. Winners win. So I took the under on Big Dog and 3s
