  5. https://www.mlssoccer.com/post/2018/01/24/warshaw-why-la-galaxy-are-title-contenders ...Kitchen isn’t the most athletic or skillful midfielder, but he’s incredibly tidy and disciplined. If a coach tells him to protect the center backs, the coach can trust he will protect the center backs. Offensively, he will mostly be asked to keep the game simple and connect his passes to get his team into possession.... ...However Schmid and his staff opt to play, the biggest point of emphasis for their success could be the presence of Kitchen. Kitchen will provide stability to an otherwise unpredictable squad. Every backline looks better with a disciplined anchor protecting the space right in front of them....

  15. Best wishes to our other Zips' Men's Soccer players looking to be drafted in Rounds 3 and 4 today (starts at 2 pm ET...by teleconference...draft tracker) Clark: A look at the top players remaining in Day 2 of the Superdraft Nate Shultz DF Akron The right back out of Akron struggled against some of the combine’s speedy wide players, and had some moments that likely made scout nervous. If he can come into the a camp to showcase the required defensive ability, he brings plenty to the table going forward and would be a good pick in the later rounds. Any of the Zips remaining on the board – Sam Gainford, Stu Holthusen, Manuel Cordeiro or Pau Belana have shown the quality to get picked at this point in the draft.
  16. https://www.lafc.com/post/2018/01/19/2018-mls-superdraft-all-access?autoplay=true At about 1:11 we can see Joao in the background with LAFC Head Coach Bob Bradley in the foreground; then we can see the card with Joao's name, and then see Don Garber call out the first pick, + some footage of Joao not seen in the other videos. I can't get enough of this. I'm so proud of our program and our players.
  17. Niko interview begins around the 5:00 minute mark. Question: "Niko, how would you describe your style of play..." Niko DeVera: "I would say I'm more of a football player than a soccer player" [big grin] "You can see I'm not the biggest guy ... but my strengths are probably my mentality, more of a psychological game..." Question: "you surprised at how many players from Akron have been drafted in MLS?" Niko DeVera: "... That's what Akron does. Akron produces a lot of pros. I'm just glad to be on the list."
