He's going to do some big things. Ten Sophomore Men's Players to Watch (Wil Trapp)

Dillon Serna maturing into complete player

Nice to see that the fellas have one of the top recruiting classes in the country. Nice discussion with freshman Andrew Souders about the new recruiting class

EURO has been great so far. Hoping for a Portugal upset, but not very likely. EURO 12 funny bit

Very sad. Thoughts and prayers go out. Some highlights and quotes from coach

I can't help, but agree with Scott French from ESPN. "My feeling on conference realignment is that it is what it is. I don’t like it particularly, but it’s all about the big-money sports..." Good discussion about the conference realignment and the addition of West Virginian.

I like the comparison. http://www.topdrawersoccer.com/the91stminu...here-done-that/

Easy decision. Pele has lost his mind for suggesting otherwise. This sums up the debate. Messi or Neymar?

Good read. As bad as I feel for coach Porter after the U23 incident, I am glad to have him back. Looking forward to seeing Wil step up as a leader this season. Time to make it 7 straight.

Clever idea from TDS. The litte baby and pep talk were pretty funny. Weekly Soccer Recap .

Very sad the way things turned out. Unfortunate and costly mistake by the keeper. The team could definitely have used Gatt. Here are the highlights from the game. Olympic Qualifying Highlights

It is unbelievable that he is only 24 and already considered by most if not all of his peers. Well deserved.

If you ever have some time to spare, I would highly recommend this documentary. What an amazing talent and he is only getting better. Greatest of All Time Just unreal

The complete spread just came out. She just scored two late goals for the WNT to beat New Zealand and still has time to look this good. Complete spread of Alex Morgan in body paint

US WNT star Alex Morgan has done us all a favor by being in the new Sports Illustrated issue covered in just body designed as a bathing suit. She plays the sport better than most and looks real good while she is doing it. Picture definitely included. Alex Morgan covers SI in just body paint

Bracket: http://www.topdrawersoccer.com/college-soc...visionid-1/2011 I think it's chalk for the Zips until meeting UConn in the Quarters.

Eh, the Zips did alright - MAC Top 20 Player Rankings

As pointed out in TDS' College Review this week, the Zips set an NCAA record by extending their unbeaten streak at home to 40 matches! Incredible!

Every mention for the Zips to get ready for the season... Tournament 48 Ranking - #3 Top 100 Players to Watch - Mattocks #2, Caldwell #34, Meves #35, Barson #38. Joe Mauceri's Pro Prospect Big Board - (Seniors) Holmes #13, Balogun #45, Walls #47 (Underclassmen) Mattocks #4, Barson #22 ShindigZ National Soccer Festival - Game Recap/Player Critique for the Creighton match GAMETIME!!

Rankings: http://www.topdrawersoccer.com/college-soc...ent-ranking/men I'd say that's pretty fair actually. The squad will have a lot to prove to get back to #1 with all those departures.

On Joe Mauceri's Big Board, he's got 3 Zips Seniors in the Top 100 Pro Prospects list (Holmes 14, Balogun 46, Walls 48) and 2 underclassmen in the Top 25 list (Mattocks 4, Barson 22). Top Pro Prospects Announced Fairly accurate IMO.

Just saw this about alum Kofi Sarkodie and wanted to share - Win Kofi Sarkodie's Boots!!

2 of the big recruits were on display at the Academy Playoffs, I'm excited to see Yedlin play - http://www.topdrawersoccer.com/players-to-...cruits-analyzed

Thought this was an interesting series and wanted to share. Looks at the player development of a kid who at the age of 11 could tell the American System was flawed. The first 3 parts are though the eyes of the mother and offers a pretty neat perspective. Part 1 - Is it Broken? Part 2 - The Egg Drill Part 3 - Stubborn Coaches Part 4 - Overseas adventure I'm inclined to think Coach Porter is doing his part to help America fix the problem

An Akron commit Wil Trapp picked up a Gatorade state player of the year award for Ohio, nice work! - http://www.topdrawersoccer.com/players-to-...ate-POY-winners
