  1. Took me a while to figure this new US Soccer scenario out. I think it's a matter of MLS demanding to have the superior position in all areas of pro soccer nationally. I remember when WNBA started up and blew out the previous women's pro basketball league (WBA?). Strange, however that MLSNext has no national TV contract while USLC is on ESPN. And, according to this blog (attached below), MLSNext is considered Division III of the US Soccer ladder, yet is the most direct route to MLS! I'm interested personally as Hawai'i politicians are promising a USL team as soon as the New Aloha Stadium is completed in 2025. Hope we get some former Zips (and local stars) in the islands! ☺ https://www.conductdetrimental.com/post/mls-and-the-usl-are-in-competition-whether-they-like-or-admit-it-or-not
  2. For those interested in USL Championship competition, Nick Hinds and his El Paso Locomotive are on ESPN right now vs Detroit City. Nick's the starting Left Wing for Locomotiv.
  3. Only offers so far from Groce & Cap'n Pinky (PCCC)!
  4. Brecksville HS PG. Listed anywhere between 5-11 to 6-2. Shooter.
  5. Questions: Presuming he stays recruited by Akron, do you see him starting from day 1 till he plays out his string or is drafted? Does Rice no longer run the wishbone? Choctaw HS is a largely tribal community. Is Steele a registered member of the Choctaw nation?
  6. 🙏☺ Just don't ask me to remember any passwords!
  7. Up and coming!! 😂
  8. I have a vague memory of the Zips getting crushed by the Marines, something like 40-0. I remember my brother a Navy vet saying "Quantico Marines? They suck!"
  9. Thanks. I tried posting that yesterday. For some reason a problem with this board is that (often, though not always) after posting, a "ghost post" of your earlier post remains in the next screen preventing you from posting back-to-back. I haven't figured out how to erase or delete that ghost. Anyone else have this problem?
  10. Offer to 6-3 Indiana Elite AAU player. Only other offer is Evansville. Second 2024 offer after Jamisyn Stinson.
  11. For how many decades have people awaited the #MACImplosion? Have faith, it's just around the corner. 😂
  12. Yup. That's why I hate 'em so! Especially Yeags Sr., the most arrogant coach of all. Taught Bobby Knight every move!
  13. So this is just the 50th season of Indiana men's soccer. I think Jerry Yeagley was their first head coach. Which means they've had only three coaches in 50 years. And two of them were Yeagleys. This is our arch-rival. #BeatHoosiers!
  14. Pretty sure it's just D-1 men's basketball. The poster is a long-time scout from Akron.
  15. Stuck, indeed!
  16. With the acquisition of Prince Mosengo, it might open up the opportunity for additional mining of talent from this really outstanding new prep school Keystone Academy in Erie, PA. According to this story, @BCJoeMo already has one of Prince's teammates on his squad. https://www.goerie.com/story/sports/high-school/2022/04/10/keystone-athletic-academy-kings-players-raise-recruiting-stock-1st-season-dellquan-warren/7041831001/
  17. I'm seeing Kobe Mitchell and Nate Johnson as the odd men out. How long will they last?
  18. Great job, HT. This's what we hired you for!
  19. I've seen that John Cistone (Sr. that is, I went to Green with junior before he transferred to St Vs) is a member of the Akron Hall of Fame. However, it appears his greatest performances were in baseball rather than football.
  20. I just looked at Gozips.com MBB 22-23 roster. The 9 remaining. The additions won't go up till start of the school year, BUT... Nate Johnson and Kobe Mitchell are both listed as sophomores. What's up with that? Neither played at all as true frosh. No red shirts?
  21. Damn! I'll start by saying how much I DON'T care about logos. Today is literally the first time I've looked at this ZipsNation thread! Post obligatory: It's just too cartoonish looking for me. The best comment was on Zips Athletics Facebook, "It looks like something my 10 y.o. made with Microsoft Paint!" 🤣 BUT, the best part of this entire exercise was that AMAZING video. Whoever did that should get more work from the U. I LOVED the oldtime video outtakes like Lenny Paul -AND...was that Keith Dambrot rounding the bases?? 😚
  22. This kid's listed on the roster at UNLV. Is he in the portal, after time at TCU, Unlv?
  23. The Bracketbusters failed because 90% of the games -- the non-televised ones -- were meaningless. It was great for those of us in the Top 10% though, and I can only hope the idea gains steam.
  24. That's Canton Central Catholic? Wasn't sure it still existed!
