Not yet.

I was wearing a Nagbe Timbers jersey at the Porter farewell 12/12/2012. Mikey commented to me that he really liked the jersey. Perhaps I should have known then.

I have seen this kid play. He is pretty good. Like to see what TDS rates him.

AHHHhhhh! You are right, I did. Eric, please forgive me! Stevenson.............................Koroma .....................Brenes.................... Najem...............................Quinn ..................Foldesy.................. Derschang....................Abdul-Salaam ..........Gallego............Souders.......... .....................Pina........................... This lineup is a pretty good one, with only one newcomer starting. Well, two newcomers starting, if you count Pina.

Grant.............................Koroma .................Brenes.................... Najem...............................Quinn ..................Foldesy.................. Derschang....................Abdul-Salaam ..........Gallego............Souders.......... .....................Pina........................... This is how it looks now. I have no inside information whatsoever. So, if you are a bench player from last season reading this, and you want to start, feel free to ignore my assessment. Go beat someone out. I would love it if you do. Main thing is to to win another star, right!?!?!?!?

I know Mikey was not re signed by Vancouver.

That first picture looks like copyright infringement.

Correct. Who else was in that same recruiting class? Vedran Ilic? Johnny Grebenc? Definitely not a top 5 class.

Good. It just did not feel right him going elsewhere.

Anybody got anything on Brett Gravatt?

No, I am NOT sure Porter had great first recruiting class. But that class included Ben Zemanski whom I know was heavily recruited by many.

Like to see Stuart Dobson stay and bring along Fernando Pina. Dobson is part of the reason for Meves' stellar senior season.

Well, I am with Jared's father. Where are the recruits? Money quote: “I can understand where the public may be antsy because there’s six guys who left,” Embick said. “If they look at our commitments, there’s three or four guys. They want players, players, players, which we could get. In the fall they could be unhappy because the level is a little down.”

It is almost too late to land a top five recruiting class. I believe we have had top five recruiting classes every year during the Porter era, several times securring the top class. http://www.topdrawersoccer.com/college-soc...ommitments#tabs

Per Ives: Ives Galarcep ‏@SoccerByIves "Yedlin isn't going to be last Akron player to sign a Homegrown Player deal this winter. I'm told Dillon Serna is close to signing w/Colorado"

I really hate this news. It does not seem to me like a good idea. Best of luck to Yedlin. We will be watching.

Barson finally signed with Crew today. Somebody load the link, please.

Truly funny! "Dude, you’re asking too many Portland-themed inside joke questions for a guy running a fake twitter account out of Ohio."

Notice Dan Zemanski (Everest SC) as club coach.

Please welcome Riley Grant. Top Drawer Soccer - Riley Grant US Soccer Development Academy - Riley Grant

Check out this link about Lucas Cawley, a player in the Portland Timbers academy, settling on a college program. He has a top ten list of colleges that apparently does not include Akron. http://www.bigsoccer.com/community/threads....1973258/page-2

+1 Barson, Caldwell, Meves and Schmitt are the best Zips class in the history of the program. Best of everything, Scottie! We will be watching.

I spent an accumulated 26 minutes casting 1,476 votes. I will never shop at Lowes again.

Blair cannot stay healthy.
