Russell Cicerone (Buffalo) scored 12 goals this season, buoyed by nine assists from Akron star Adam Najem. this looks like a link to watch Adam and Brad and Goncalo http://www.uslpdl.com/news_article/show/671960

Adam is a class act. excellent article by Ben Roth.

http://gozips.com/sports/msoc/2016-17/releases/20160720feyiqw Congrats to Adam. I think that Adam, Victor, Danilo and Brad are all going to have great senior seasons.

top drawer soccer has once again updated their recruiting rankings http://www.topdrawersoccer.com/college-soccer-articles/top-2016-boys-recruiting-classes:-july_aid39451 and yes.....they have Jackson Crawford listed twice under commitments 2. Akron Commitments: Emmanuel Sabbi (No. 12), Nicholas Hinds (No. 20), Reggie Laryea (No. 37), Marcel Zajac (No. 116), Jesus Perez (No. 136), Alex Mapp, Jackson Crawford, Jonathan Lewis, Tor Saunders, Jackson Crawford, Jeremy Pollard Transfers: Joseph Korb (Mercyhurst), Ben Lundt (Lenoir-Rhyne) Emmanuel Sabbi is still on board, though the prospect of him playing college soccer remains a toss up. If he comes, Sabbi and the rest of this talented recuriting class make the Zips one of the teams to be considered a favorite for the national title this fall.

not related to actual soccer.... but zips twitter had this post about wil getting some publicity

Below is what Top Drawer soccer had to say about zip recruit Daniel Strachan shortly after he committed to Akron for 2017 Daniel Strachan, Midfielder, Internationals SC – Strachan can play in either a defensive midfield or center back role, and has made an early verbal commitment to Akron.

tweet from the newest zip recruit

the 2016 season hasn't even started and commitments for 2017 have already started Top drawer soccer shows young Mr. Kamal as a midfielder from Carbondale, Illinois. The SLSG abbreviation stands for a St. Louis team. Top drawer soccer also shows midfielder Daniel Strachan from Lakewood, OH as being a zip 2017 recruit

2 great zips

ME87, thanks for the excellent analysis on the roster and researching the players that have moved on. Less than a month from now, Coach Jared and Coach Leo will be on the field with the players listed on the roster and many, many very talented newcomers. Akron Zips soccer will continue to be a shining light for the university.

Congratulations to Saad....he did really play well in the game on Sunday

just voted. Tyler is now #20 with 10 votes #2 has 44 votes #1 has 140 votes #1 must have a big family

that is a beautiful poster.... and that is a lot of talent to replace after this year... Hope Victor and Adam and friends....can depart Akron after winning a 2nd star Danilo is definitely the under-rated guy on the poster... Danilo came in and really fortified that back line last year

Looking forward to the regular season home opener on aug. 26

http://www.ohio.com/writers/marla-ridenour/adam-najem-returning-to-ua-men-s-soccer-after-exploring-pro-options-1.693480 Marla basically picks up the quotes from the zip web site....but it is nice to see the Beacon giving some good press to Adam and the zips

Congratulations to Jonathan Lewis. Jonathan was written up on top drawer soccer for being one of the top players at the development academy playoffs in Frisco. and oh, by the way....2 months from today...the zips will be having their home opener on August 26. http://www.topdrawersoccer.com/club-soccer-articles/da-playoffs:-notable-performers-on-friday_aid39361 F Jonathan Lewis, Kendall SC U18 – Lined up on the lefthand side of a 4-3-3, Lewis was in lethal goal-scoring form. He got credit for the first even if teammate Wilterlynd Inalien looked like he may have finished it, though there was no doubt about the second one. The Akron recruit looks prepared for the jump to Division I, running at defenders and cutting into he middle with a dangerous regularity.

Congratulations to Emmanuel Sabbi for again being selected to join the under 20 team http://www.topdrawersoccer.com/college-soccer-articles/ramos-names-u20-roster-for-ntc-invitational_aid39359

I can find almost no info on this event. Emmanuel Sabbi is playing in Frisco, TX this week with the Chicago Magic in the Soccer Development Academy playoffs. Emmanuel scored a goal last night in 2-2 tie. next game is Friday night at 7;30 against Montreal Congrats to Emmanuel on his goal. I am looking forward to seeing this young man and the other zip recruits on Aug. 26 and 28....as the zips start on their road to a 2nd star. http://www.ussoccerda.com/sam/standings/ss/view_game_report.php?eventId=2854845&teamId=1680716

http://www.hometownlife.com/story/sports/2016/06/17/bucks-stop-cincinnati-pdl-match/86023994/ this has an article about the game.... article is primarily about the local kids...but Adam gets mentioned as leading the counter and getting the assist
