Women's recruiting class

[soccerbirdie16]

"This class should provide an effective complement to our returning players, which in all promises to be a really potent blend of skill, speed and athleticism," Pfau said. "This class knows what it takes to compete at the highest level, by virtue of playing for regionally and nationally recognized club programs. In addition, many have been members of the Olympic Development Program (ODP) and their ODP and club experiences have exposed them to top-notch coaching and to competition against some of the best players in the country. I’m confident in saying I expect each member of this class to compete for a spot on the team from day one."2010 SIGNING CLASSName - Position - Height - Hometown (Previous School) Taylor Ballard - Defender - 5-6 - Olmsted Falls, Ohio (Olmsted Falls HS) Kelly DeNiro - Midfielder - 5-5 - Columbus, Ohio (Bishop Watterson HS) Paige Foughty - Midfielder/Defender - 5-3 - Murrysville, Pa.

The press release also says that we signed a transfer. Kara Cooper from YSU, their leading scorer.Seems like a pretty good class. I wonder if showing them plans for a new stadium had anything to do with it.

So, what is the thinking in the SI Dept that they release the women's soccer recruits the same day -- but will probably wait what...a month or more, before showing anything about the nation's #1 program's recruiting class? That is the usual lag time for our men's soccer recruiting info. Who hasn't joined the Big Time?BigSoccer has a college recruiting thread where they bet who would be the first programs to release men's recruit info. Someone said, "I'll take the Zips #1." Bad assumption -- Caleb isn't in control this time.

If I had to guess - I think it is probably Caleb's choice to wait so his recruits can have the spotlight instead of sharing it with the football recruits.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. You're getting ahead of me here. What's in Las Vegas -- are the ladies playing there? And re: above -- are Green and Brascia 2011 verbals for coach Pfau?Thanks for filling in the blanks for those of us without Top Drawer Soccer subs.

Info on the two Vegas girls, Meghan and Lexa. Their Neusport '93 Green squad won the Surf Cup last Summer -- top West Coast tournament. This increases the chances that I will be attending the Far West Regional in el Buquerque in June. http://www.gotsport.com/rankings/team.aspx?TeamID=100947

https://sites.google.com/site/soccerrecruits/If you click on link, scroll to bottom and click on tab that says "by college". You can go to Akron (top of page) and see that he has 5 players already for 2011. Meghan and Lexa are from the same club and are listed in Top Drawer Region Players to Watch. It looks like he has another player from that team too. According to one of the players, they are playing in the UNLV tournament this fall. Maybe this is why they are going out there.
