  11. http://www.dispatch.com/content/stories/sp...-with-crew.html the player from Univ. of Louisville certainly is not happy I hope that Chad goes to a team that will give him the playing time that he deserves
  12. wow....thank you for finding this article and posting it....
  13. http://www.collegesoccernews.com/index_files/Page442.htm I am very glad to see David be recognized on the first team. All 3 senior starters on the first 2 teams. Scott, David and Chad all had super 4 year careers.
  14. I think the first week that National letters of intent(NLI) can be signed is Feb. 4 to Feb. 7. Go to the 2nd page of the document below. http://www.ncaa.org/wps/wcm/connect/public...uiting+calendar From the little that I know about recruiting, coaches are not supposed to speak about recruits until the NLI has been signed. With the student-athletes being on twitter and facebook, word gets out quickly these days. Coach Embick has to follow the rules. I am confident that the program is in good hands. I am not 100% convinced DeAndre, Dillon, Bryan and Wil are all gone. I am sure that all 4 of them are having discussions with Coach Embick and Coach Porter. That being said, David Meves graduating leaves a big hole....but Pina has a great reputation and I am sure he will do well. I am praying for good health for Alfred Koroma and I am looking forward to seeing Reinaldo and Alfred doing great things up top. Andrew Souders and Phil Fives and Abdul will all be excellent next year for the zips. Over the last few years, Akron has been fortunate to get excellent transfers like Aodhan and Robbie Derschang. I would think that 2 out of 11 starters next year will be transfers for the 2013 year. Akron will continue to play an attractive, possession style game and Coach Embick will do well in recruiting. Coach Porter left some monster shoes to fill. I want Akron to continue to raise the bar for collegiate soccer but I am confident in Coach Embick. I know we all want the Akron success story to continue....but let's give Coach Embick time to show what he can do.
  15. Creighton was better than a #12 team...they were 8 in final coaches ranking...and connecticut was 7 in final coaches ranking but the seeding committee does not like non major conferences...so CT jumped to 4...and Creighton dropped to 12... Creighton was 11 in RPI...and Louisville was 13...but Louisville was seeded 10 and Creighton was #12 Louisville should not have been seeded higher than Creighton.... I don't classify Creighton as an inferior team. Indiana was awful in the last 3 weeks of the season but has turned it up in the tourney. UNC was not an elite team this year...they had strong defense....but they really struggled to score I am predicting a Maryland vs. Creighton final
  16. hope that Creighton wins it all... connecticut did not deserve a #4 seed
  17. Maryland crushed Louisville 3-1 16-5 advantage in shots... rooting like crazy for Creighton tomorrow so there are not 2 big east teams in final four
  18. Georgetown advances to the final four with a 3-1 win over San Diego
  19. hard to believe that IU is in final four. Michigan and Michigan State owned them when they met in the Big Ten.
  20. Best wishes to Alfred Koroma. Praying for better days ahead for this young man.

  24. http://www.gozips.com/sports/msoc/2012-13/.../2012112543170p I just watched the press conference. I am sitting here crying. I want to thank Coach Porter for 7 wonderful years. He has put his heart and soul into this program. He has positively affected the lives of so many young men. Akron has been blessed to have Coach Porter and his family as part of the University community and also as part of the city of Akron. As an alumni, Coach Porter has brought great pride to the University that Akron U. can compete and defeat the best teams. As someone who grew up in the area, I greatly admire Coach Porter for repeatedly saying that Akron is a great place to live and raise a family. Coach Porter has been unbelievably generous in his support of the AK rowdies. Caleb Porter is a champion on and off the field and he is a classy human being. I wish he and his family much happiness in the next stage of his career. I would be very remiss if I did not also thank the 4 incredible seniors on this year's team. Their success in the classroom is outstanding and I want to thank them for staying for 4 years and giving this Akron fan a lifetime of memories.
  25. Injuries really impacted this game.....Dillon and Reinaldo would have made a huge difference.... rooting for Creighton next weekend against Connecticut
