A former Zip, coaching professionally.. in a league?.... ok, its a bit of a stretch. I just did not think it was worth a new thread. Remarkable news nonetheless.
National rumors persist that Shaun Docking (Akron, 1988) will soon be named new Head Coach of East Tennessee State University (ETSU). This after 16 seasons coaching Coastal Carolina Chanticleers. Wow! Word is that he grew frustrated with Coastal’s facilities. If that is indeed true, it proves (to me, at least) that Zips definitely could have had him if they had wanted him.
I beg to differ. I think this list is marginally important. DarNag is one the most technically gifted players I have ever seen, certainly in the MLS. It is good that he is finally gaining proper respect.
We will cut you slack since you are new around here, Little Joey. Look around the site. Chances are often good that your question has been answered before you ask it. https://akron.presto.../20140210mj1dne Do not mistake TDS for gospel. They do not know nearly as much as they would like us to believe. Before yesterday's announcement, TDS did not even know about half of these guys. How can they expect to rank them? Welcome aboard! Go Zips!
Not yet. TDS is trying to keep up. They are the ranking authority (cough), such as it exists. @MODERATORS: I would love to employ the new Like This function. Every time I try, I get error message. You have reached your quota of positive votes for the day. That obviously cannot be true.
I believe 6 conference members is the minimum for NCAA automatic tournament bid. This is a bit silly. The MAC does not want multi-divisional members? Really? Why not? Who are the MAC to look down their noses at anyone? Is there some economic reason/justification I am not seeing? Now the Zips will likely never get the chance to avenge last year's home loss to Hawks.
There is a fair amount of conversation regarding Richmond Laryea on BigSoccer.com. Many think he is the real deal. I never heard of the kid before December. http://www.bigsoccer.com/community/threads/akron-zips-2014.1998716/page-2 We will see him in 4 weeks. Can't wait.
This year, we will see many newcomers during the spring. Where and when do you see team train in the off-season? Will walk-on tryouts be open for public viewing S/2/15/2014?
Soccer postings have dropped dramatically, both on ZNO and GoZips. I only read about Korea match; did not see it. Yedlin played on the Left side? Are you sure about that? Not the Right side? About 12 minutes, I hear. Teal Bunbury was capped 2 years ago.
Try as as I might, I cannot find the size and weight of this cat.
edit: Duh. It was right there the whole time.
Richmond Laryea, M/F, 5-9, 150, Toronto, Ont. (Dante Aligheri Academy/Sigma FC)
I too think we will see him in March (if not sooner).

It sure would be nice to scrimmage Cleveland State again under the dome.
