time to vote on the right backs

I like that alignment much better than the 4-3-3....that they are asking us to use.... Your alignment does not make you choose between the 2 def, midfielders....Perry and Wil Akron has had great midfielders ...over the past decade....and you have several of the great ones on your team and to think.....that you sill have outstanding midfielders....like Adam Najem, Anthony Ampaipitakwong, Michael Nanchoff, Victor Souto, Dillon Serna and Aodhan Quinn...available to come of the bench of course, there are a few decent? players to come in off the bench...up top...Jonathan Lewis, Marcel Zajac, David Egbo, Sam Gainford, Stuart Holthusen and the underrated Reinaldo Brenes.

I don't have a twitter account...so it appears that I won't be able to vote

this should be fun to vote going to be some tough choices to make https://gozips.com/news/2020/2/3/akron-to-unveil-all-decade-mens-soccer-team.aspx

Thank you for posting the news release and showing the spring roster. Looks like the 2 redshirt freshman Goalkeepers ....Cameron Victor and Grant Abbott....will get a big chance this spring to show their potential and skill in spring games.

reactions on twitter https://www.massivereport.com/2020/2/1/21117213/wil-trapp-columbus-crew-sc-reactions-inter-miami-mls-2020 the best quote from article: It’s sad, but it’s part of the sport. We were so lucky to have him on our club. He literally is most of us in the stadium, just a kid from Columbus. I know he’s been looking to make that next step in his career for quite some time now and I hope this takes him to that next step overseas. I know the term “class act” gets tossed around in sports quite a bit but he is the bar, in fact the classiest act. He has heart, loves this city, a leader in and out of the locker room, and beyond genuine. I wish him all the best and look forward to seeing all that he accomplishes. We love ya Wil.

wow......Wil trapp has been traded https://www.massivereport.com/2020/1/31/21117079/columbus-crew-wil-trapp-trade-inter-miami-mls-2020-caleb-porter

I am very optimistic about the Crew in 2020. It would really speak highly of D-Nag's talent and skill.....if he was part of a MLS champ for 3 different teams not to mention CP......being the head coach for 2 different teams https://www.massivereport.com/2020/1/30/21115246/columbus-crew-sc-darlington-nagbe-missing-piece-midfield-wil-trapp-lucas-zelarayan-mls-2020

good wishes to Richie in 2020 https://torontosun.com/sports/soccer/mls/toronto-fc/toronto-fc-banking-on-another-standout-season-from-richie-laryea

Good wishes to Adam

As they have done for many years, the zips will visit Pittsburgh and the play their USL team in the spring

Many of you will remember Will Meyer from this epic game Ben Lundt- GK for Akron - 110 minutes - no goals allowed Will Meyer - GK for Louisville - 110 minutes - no goals allowed https://gozips.com/news/2017/12/1/mens-soccer-akron-punches-ticket-to-college-cup-edging-louisville-in-penalty-kicks-4-3.aspx

Welcome Will Meyer back to NE Ohio. #2ndStar

They mess up the spelling of Jason's last name ..... but this is a 3.5 minute news feature on Nick Scott and Jason Shokalook

I know that I am not Zip_ME87...but Nick looks like an internationals teammate of super 2021 recruit Jason Shokalook

Great to see some discussion on this board. I know that there are so many zip soccer fans that are anxious to learn who the zips will have on the field for the games in the Spring. I really think that fall 2020 is going to be a huge bounce back year for the Zips. I think that Natnael McDonald and Ivan Nikolic (both had to miss fall 2019 due to injuries)....will really be key contributors for the 2020 Zips.

Zip_ME87.....thank you for starting this topic. Hopefully, the zips have some good incoming transfers. I look forward to Gabriel Ramos joining the zips. I have been told that he played for an outstanding club in Brazil

this article has very complimentary words about one of the hardest working young men to ever wear a zips uniform I am rooting for this former zip .....to be drafted on Monday https://www.mlssoccer.com/post/2020/01/10/mls-superdraft-2020-five-best-players-remaining-3rd-and-4th-rounds-travis-clark

The first 2 rounds of the MLS draft occurred today. Tom Smart was selected as the 19th pick in the 2nd round (45th overall) by the LA Galaxy. Rounds 3 and 4 of the draft will occur on Monday the 13th Zips have had players drafted(or signed as homegrowns) in every draft since the 2008 MLS draft

I like the Akron reference in this 2020 wish list article https://www.mlssoccer.com/post/2020/01/01/new-year-wish-list-every-mls-team-j-sam-jones Columbus Crew SC: For those HalcyAkron days Darlington Nagbe and Caleb Porter are back together in Ohio. Ten years ago they won a national title together. Will the pairing have enough juice left in it for Columbus to make it back to the playoffs? Wait, no, I meant to say will it have enough Zip to it. For the whole Akron bit. Can we go back to the? No? Ok, moving on...

https://www.beaconjournal.com/photogallery/OH/20191217/PHOTOGALLERY/121709998/PH/1 Beacon Journal says that the zips have another 2021 recruit (#14 in the article) very familiar last name ??

Congratulations to these student athletes
