26 minute interview Wil Trapp sits down with Zarek to talk about the offseason and the coaching staff https://www.mnufc.com/video/sotl-episode-328-the-next-generation-with-wil-trapp#sotl-episode-328-the-next-generation-with-wil-trapp

https://www.topdrawersoccer.com/article/?categoryId=21&articleId=55698&articleTitle=college-signees-to-watch-in-mls-next-pro As the MLS NEXT Pro season begins this weekend, keep an eye on these 10 college signings. Stefan Dobrijevic, Austin FC II – The Akron scoring ace has precedent going from Zip, to NEXT Pro to an MLS deal. Jason Shokalook is part of the Chicago Fire after first signing with the second team. Dobrijevic is a strong candidate in Austin to pull off the same feat. The striker has the quality to bang in NEXT Pro goals and earn first-team reps. It won’t be simple because the team does pour tons of money into its attacking positions via transfers (and they rarely work).

If my memory is correct, I think all college soccer teams are limited to playing games on 6 dates in the spring. Weather in NE Ohio is so unpredictable. Hopefully, the zips can add match in late Match.

It is great to see Remi Agunbiade's name on the roster. Remi , who was drafted in the MLS draft, definitely will be a future MLS player. I know that Remi will continue to improve...and will help the Zips have a great fall campaign. When looking at the roster, I am particularly excited by the 5 names shown as forwards. Angel Lopez Martin Aiden Benitez Remi Agunbiade Ignacio Alem Farrell Ngongang Angel and Aiden both had outstanding freshman campaigns at their respective schools. Farrell really has great talent and could be poised for a big step up in year 2. Ignacio had some outstanding moments late in the year. I think that Londen Sears and Leo Morana saw time as forwards in High School. I am sure that our coaching staff will find the best position for them in the college environment. You can never have too many good forwards and I am excited to see this group score some goals in the sping and in the fall.

I definitely agree with one of Jared's statements !!!! "It is an exciting time to be a Zip soccer fan."

Class of 2026 commit...... very good size for a forward. 4.0 student https://www.instagram.com/p/DUB7JyzgUdU/?img_index=1 https://www.ncsasports.org/womens-soccer-recruiting/ohio/medina/highland-high-school40/grace-shondel1

The lady zips have added 5 transfers.....several of them from Big East schools....

Malik Henry was fantastic tonight for the Canadian national team in a friendly against Guatemala

top drawer soccer also included a goal that Aiden scored

https://www.topdrawersoccer.com/article/?categoryId=21&articleId=55589&articleTitle=ten-underrated-mens-transfer-portal-moves Aiden Benitez, Akron Benitez is headed to Akron after recording four goals and four assists in a stellar first season for the Butler Bulldogs. The Indiana native can play multiple attacking roles at a high level, and his conference experience suggests he could get off to a fast start.

I assume that if this happens, that soccer would be included (article only mentions basketball) IMHO, this would make the Big East a stronger league for soccer https://www.cleveland.com/news/2026/01/sen-jon-husted-pushes-big-east-to-admit-university-of-dayton.html WASHINGTON - U.S. Sen. Jon Husted, a Columbus-area Republican, is making a pitch to move his alma mater into one of college basketball’s premier conferences. Husted joined Missouri Republican Sen. Eric Schmitt on Wednesday in sending a letter to Big East Commissioner Val Ackerman urging the conference to admit the University of Dayton and Saint Louis University, citing the schools’ alignment with the Big East’s mission and their strong basketball programs.

I have to give credit to Z.I.P for finding this you tube featture on Cam Knowles Great former zip Wil Trapp is interviewed during this video.... Cam and Wil......2 great former zips
