Meves' knowledge of the game has visibly increased. He also has a great throwing arm and reasonable reflexes. However I imagine that if a top 10 goal keeping talent was introduced into the Akron system... he could very possibly start the first year. Akron has never had qualms about starting qualified freshmen over experienced upperclassmen.
I would personally be sad to see a dedicated player have to transfer for playing time senior year... but as we all know, avoiding hurt feelings has never been Porter's main concern.
If it turns out this new guy is an all around "complete" keeper, he could very well start over Meves. On the flip side, Akron is still the kind of program that even a top 10 talent freshman could find being red shirted for one season time well spent.
