as always, great find.... Top Drawer soccer has him rated #129 in the class of 2025. https://www.topdrawersoccer.com/club-soccer-articles/mls-next-flex:-under-19-players-to-watch_aid54577 Braxton Hayes, Nashville SC – The central midfielder remains an intriguing prospect who has trained with the NEXT Pro team. The Maryland native could get run as a key player centrally.

some of the most concerning................. The investigation began this year after an Akron Children's Hospital sports physical therapist outlined a dozen concerns in an email sent to UA on Feb. 6. In the email, the physical therapist accused Simonetti of pushing back on medical advice, including when a concussed athlete was sent to the emergency room because she had unequal pupils. In another alleged incident, Simonetti told an athlete she was having shin pain because she was "unfit." That athlete was later diagnosed with a tibial stress fracture and was recommended for surgery, but a member of the coaching staff reportedly said the recommendation was made "because surgeons want money." Hospital staff, who sometimes worked with Simonetti, said they felt she ignored their injury reports.

kickaball pod instagram is saying that the zips have added a transfer player from E. Tennessee State https://www.instagram.com/p/DJpe9uDTy8j/ was a 6'1 145 freshman last year for ETSU.

as far as I know, Jen Simonetti is still being investigated??? Top Drawer soccer is reporting this morning that Akron's women's soccer has signed a 3 star rated forward for the class of 2026 https://www.topdrawersoccer.com/club-player-profile/emma-ogdahl/pid-172642

article has a photo of a very happy and excited Beto Ydrach....and a very happy Riverhounds mascot https://www.riverhounds.com/news/2025/05/07/ydrach-header-open-cup-nycfc/

https://pittsburghsoccernow.com/2025/05/07/post-match-reaction-riverhounds-pull-off-cupset-with-dramatic-stoppage-time-goal-to-eliminate-new-york-city-fc/ For Ydrach, it was a dream come true… “I’ve been thinking about doing that since I was 3-years-old when I first started playing soccer.” “We all work really hard for moments like that and, to be able to do something like that in your career is something special.” …and an important result for the club “I think we needed a result like this. It was gritty until the last minute, but we dug it out, and hopefully we can take that into league play and get a result on the road this weekend too in Louisville.”

I believe that this Cleveland Force player is also a 2026 Zip commit. https://www.instagram.com/p/DGql_pkxXog/

very nice find.....Always nice to see the zips adding players ....from academies where they have not had a lot of success. Nice words in his announcements about Coach Nanchoff and Coach Embick.
