Top Drawer lists their picks for the top 100 upperclassman did not know where to post this https://www.topdrawersoccer.com/college/upperclassmentop100/?genderId=m&periodId=49&seasonId=2018&nopage=0 Abdi at 48 ; David at 83 and Marco at 98 I will simply say that there are not 82 soccer players in the country that are better than David Egbo .....and zip fans will also recognize the young man ranked at #45

their link does not seem to work right now to the top 25 but it looks Like Top Drawer soccer has Akron at #2 https://www.topdrawersoccer.com/college-soccer-articles/division-i-mens-preseason-top-25_aid44522

another pre season poll https://www.collegesoccernews.com/index.php/polls/csn-preseason-top-30-poll/1186-college-soccer-news-2018-preseason-national-poll

http://www.journalgazette.net/sports/20180818/festival-helped-showcase-city-as-soccer-town article has 2 minutes of video from last night's game must be from the first half...as EZ is in the game

https://www.mlssoccer.com/post/2018/08/16/armchair-analyst-usmnt-depth-chart-midfielders Interesting read. Wil Trapp, Darlington Nagbe and Jonathan Lewis are mentioned in article. Tyler Adams is going to be a very good soccer player but I disagree with him being ranked ahead of Wil. This writer thinks very highly of a young man (Emmanuel Sabbi) who never made it to U of A.

they will be a stern test https://butlersports.com/news/2018/8/15/mens-soccer-butlermsoccer-picked-second-in-big-east-poll-three-bulldogs-earn-preseason-honors.aspx

Best wishes to Adam

appreciate the "inside scoop" Hopefully, the Beacon will do a nice writeup before the home opener on the 24th. I had e-mailed 2 of their writers...the day before practice started...to try to get a writeup at that point.....but I was unsuccessful in getting coverage from the Beacon

The Suburbanite does nice writeups on the zips http://www.thesuburbanite.com/sports/20180815/zips-once-again-facing-roster-makeover-challenges-as-new-season-begins

https://iuhoosiers.com/news/2018/8/15/mens-soccer-no-2-indiana-drops-1-0-decision-to-no-6-louisville-in-exhibition-match.aspx this is a writeup on their exhibition against Louisville. I can't see from their schedule...that there will be live stats.. However, the article has a link to the IU soccer twitter account...and it looks like IU soccer twitter was updated very frequently during the game against Louisville. I am certain...that Akron will not be sending the soccer SID to Ft. Wayne

https://iuhoosiers.com/news/2018/8/15/mens-soccer-hoosiers-unanimously-selected-as-big-ten-preseason-favorites.aspx the Hoosiers were selected unanimously to win the big ten this year.... I also read somewhere else...that the hoosiers lost wed. night 1-0 in an exhibition to Louisville

thank you for sharing Brad's tweet and the great article... I learned so much new information. I hope that David can recover quickly and that the brothers can play together.

The Beacon with an article on Akron U.'s best team...by far !!! https://www.ohio.com/akron/sports/university-of-akron/university-of-akron-soccer-zips-take-cleveland-states-best-shot-and-still-prevail-2-0-in-exhibition-match?utm_source=pulse morning&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=pulse morning

CVCA alum Braden Petno getting a start tonight

Thank you for being brave and submitting these proposed line ups....right back could be the hardest position to fill on the team if I remember correctly, Nate was recruited as a forward...but he really developed into a very good right back. Daniel Strachan is going to be great for this team.....Whether it is as a right back, center back or def. holding midfielder...I am not smart enough to say Sammy Tojaga is another player that can fill multiple spots in the 11

another goal for Aodhan in 4-3 win

https://gozips.com/news/2018/8/12/mens-soccer-akron-continues-exhibition-campaign-hosting-cleveland-state.aspx Entering his second season as head coach at Cleveland State, Kirk Harwat was named the 2002 Mid-American Conference Newcomer of the Year and twice earned first-team All-MAC honors. A two-time All-America honoree and 2006 MAC Player of the Year, Sinisa Ubiparipovic starred for the Zips for three seasons (2004-06) and was named a first-team All-MAC selection as a junior and senior.

I hope that DeAndre is able to bounce back quickly https://sports.yahoo.com/deandre-yedlin-leaves-newcastle-game-potentially-serious-knee-injury-132805084.html
