This is not really news, as Yedlin has been rumored as having a USMNT jersey for many months. Where have you been, lost on a tropical island somewhere? No, wait. Forget that. Now, it will be news indeed if DeA actually makes the WC squad. I see his chances as improved with the retirement of Steve Cherundolo.

I have known about this for a while. That does not change the fact that this is an incredibly good hire.

Great night out to watch Zips! Many of us were motivated to see the four newcomers. We were not disappointed. M Laryea aptly wore #10. Definite starter, Very quick. Very technical. Unlikely he will play out all of his eligibility. F Sepe #13 is extraordinarily quick of foot. Aggressive around the goal. Probable starter. He is already acclimated to the physicality of college ball. D Cregan #16 manned the left flank admirably. Caught out of position by more experienced CSU players. Room to improve. Good athlete. Potential starter. F Quirk #7 saw limited time in second half. Quick. Failed to threaten on numerous good opportunities. Need to see more. All in all a good showing by these four. It is going to be a fun spring.

Who will be @ CSU tonight?

http://www.newyorkredbulls.com/news/2014/03/red-bulls-sign-duvall-oyongo-and-stevenson Well done, E!

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.

Who is meeting at Becky's Bar & Grill prior to scrimmage @ Cleveland State F/3/7/2014?

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.

@ZipsBurgh Please initiate the 2014 Zips in the MLS, NASL, USLPro Thread.

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.

What does anyone know about Ismail Seremba? Is he in or out? Moderators: I appreciate the Like This feature. Too bad I cannot use it.

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.

Congratulations on being first on new site!

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). http://www.gozips.com/sports/msoc/2013-14/.../20140114wyxt7i It sure would be nice to scrimmage Cleveland State again under the dome.
