Z.I.P., not quite sure where you're getting your information from, but Scott hasn't started a game this year, let alone played all 90 minutes. He has gotten some significant time in a few games, but not very many. Are you sure you are not confusing him with Chad Barson? (also a freshman, but a defender whom we don't hear a lot about, who almost never comes out of a game).I bet you are thinking of Chad Barson. From what I hear, he is the "captain" of the defense. Also, one of the nation's top recruits. Looking up stats he had a goal this season and two other headers from corners against cincy and w mich that goalies made great saves. From watching games and hearing Porter talk about him he is one of those players who does everything correct, rises to every occasion, can take on any forward, yet receives no glory. My bet is he notches a game winner against V tech! Interesting note, I believe Barson and Sarkodie are best friends and I believe they played club soccer together since age 13. Barson, Sarkodie, Caldwell, Valentine, and Speas were all in Florida together. Talking with those guys, Barson actually began talking with Porter first and decided on Akron. The way high school and graduation worked out Sarkodie graduated a semester earlier than everyone so was at Akron a year sooner. Soon after Barson decided on Akron, Kofi committed, than the rest of the freshman crew followed. Goes to show how influential a couple of players can be!
