David Meves to Timbers, third overall pick of Supplemental draft. http://www.mlssoccer.com/superdraft/2013/supplemental-draft

I apologize as I didn't mean to imply that you hadn't brought this to the Athletic Department's attention. I guess my post was poorly worded. I was just trying to point out that we can all help the Athletic Department with this kind of information. Thanks for pointing out that Chauncey has scored 1000+ points; I didn't know that. I respect and appreciate our players and love to see them recognized for their accomplishments.

The UA Athletics Department isn't infallible. I suggest when you notice accomplishments like this that seem to have gone unrecognized, send a nice e-mail to the UA Sports Information Director (SID) specific to that sport. They are all listed at http://www.gozips.com/athletics/staffdirectory/index under the heading "Communications".

Interesting...thanks. Edit: I think that's Nano to Caleb's left between 0:11 and 0:16 in this video, moving around and getting the kinks out of his neck.

http://www.stumptownfooty.com/2013/1/21/39...rters-first-day Michael Nanchoff, formerly of the Vancouver Whitecaps and a former player under Caleb Porter at Akron, is listed as a non-roster player on the Timbers' preseason roster, but was not at practice today.

Speaking of the Sounders, some discussion with Steve Zakuani and others on first day or training camp. Also in the video at 2:12 - 2:16 Steve working out in the foreground and DeAndre in the background.

It was a disappointment, but I don't see it as a disaster. As was stated by the ESPN announcers in reference to the barrage near the end of the 2010 Championship game, Sometimes you just need luck. If your name's on the Cup, it's on the Cup. We just didn't have the breaks vs Creighton in 2012 that we seemed to have vs Cal, Louisville, and others in 2010.

Interview: DeAndre Yedline at the SuperDraft I like DeAndre's response to the question about Akron vs Indiana in 2012 MLSSoccer.com Interview: DeAndre Yedlin I always love the questions concerning UA

At least one analyst liked what our former coach did on draft day http://www.mlssoccer.com/superdraft/2013/n...-mls-superdraft Under the heading Pretty Much Went According To Plan Portland Timbers – Was this my favorite pick of the draft? Yes, yes it was. First of all, I like Dylan Tucker-Gangnes a lot, and could argue that he’s the most MLS-ready of the center backs on offer, so just on a nuts-and-bolts level, it was the right pick. As important, though, is that Portland took a kid who is Seattle born-and-bred, and University of Washington star, one pick before the Sounders were up. Seattle fans flipped their collective bean in the live chat, on Twitter and elsewhere. Safe to say the Portland braintrust “gets” the rivalry. (Tucker-Gangnes, by the way, played for Portland's U-23s in the PDL, so it's not a given that the Sounders would have picked him at all. But I still love the way this went down).

That's great news. Has that been published anywhere yet?

No "whoops" necessary. Robbie Dambrot was previously listed on Top Drawer as committed to High Point.

I posted this in another thread, but it seems more appropriate here. From Travis Clark tweet: 2013 Akron recruiting class continues to take shape. IMG defender Brett Gravatt and Robbie Dambrot committed.

Are you sure that Akron had a top 5 recruiting class in Caleb's first season? Interesting ... I thought Robby Dambrot had verbaled elsehere.

According to GoZips.com he is.

No confirmed signing yet that I can find, but indicators are soon... http://www.burgundywave.com/2013/1/12/3867...contract-rapids https://twitter.com/Rapids_News/status/289905932715061248 I'm going to miss Dillon. I wish I would have found time to talk with him more. I enjoyed talking with his mother in Omaha and at one game in Akron. I look forward to seeing them again, hopefully, one day.

I hear you, but I'll be interested to see if there's any lasting effect from the LeBron bobble head. So, 1500 fans get one on Jan 26th. Will those 1500 fans show up at any other games after the 26th? Yes, the season ticket holders will, but how many "Joe Akrons" will start coming consistently because of this one-time giveaway? Perhaps a better marketing ploy would be to give the bobble heads (or whatever) away with season ticket purchases at all levels.

Some nice former Zips bobble heads suggestions on here. We could go to other sports, too ... Jason Taylor, Domenik Hixon, Chase Blackburn, Dwight Smith, Teal Bunbury, Darlington Nagbe, Steve Zakuani, Christi Smith, Jenna Compton, Stevi Large ...

After reading your reply, I realize how poorly I worded my post. My big issue is that we should honor our own...those who played for the blue and gold rather than someone who was never a Zips player. Honoring LeBron with a bobblehead is like doing so for other boosters. I don't want to say any more on this because I realize that those who love kissing up to LeBron are okay with this and those who don't are not. I'll stay in my world of being impressed with and supporting players who actually played for the Zips.

What bothers me about it is that we should honor our own with bobbleheads. LeBron never played for the Zips. As far as what he does for the program, has there been any other boosters who do as much, maybe more? Where are the bobbleheads for them?

Congratulations to DeAndre Yedlin, Sounders First ever Homegrown player.
