Two more for 2011


Recommended Posts

Looks like we have added two more to the mix. Dominic Bonilla ,according to ESPN Rise,has commited to be a ZIP. Also,it appears that Aodhan Quinn will transfer from Bradley to Akron. Both are midfielders. A starter in a team-best 22 games, Quinn set the Bradley record for assists by a freshman and shared the league lead with 10 assists in 2010. He also scored three goals, including the game-winner in Bradley's regular-season finale at #10 Creighton, and was named the Most Valuable Player of the State Farm MVC Men's Soccer Championship.

"Me and my father started looking at colleges late, but we wanted to take our time," said Bonilla, a senior midfielder at Collins Hill (Suwanee, Ga.). Bonilla has been in the U.S. Soccer youth national team player pool in recent years. Most of his national team counterparts made early decisions and were locked up well before national signing day on Feb. 2.

Congratulations on beating me to the punch on this one Bisbee. I read something about Bonilla, from Gwinnett Soccer Association last week, but didn't have time to research. I think he may be from the same club as Clint Mathis. I have to check with Clint's former coach, who's now skipper of Honolulu SC Bulls. My first knowledge of the transfer (Quinn). However, I can I guess let the cat out of the bag, since it doesn't appear he will be a Zip: The English player, whose coach was on here and Bigsoccer last Summer attended the January Elite camp, but apparently won't be attending UA. He also, I understand, had pro options in the states and trained with a MLS side.

Here's the write-up from the 2010 ODP National Finals -- played in Phoenix (Bisbee, was DeAndre there?). Dominic Bonilla scored and assisted for Georgia:

1993 Boys

Georgia and Minnesota faced off in the first game for the 1993 Boys. Minnesota started strong with good pressure on the Georgia defense which culminated with Andrew Rorick sending a shot off the post 20 minutes in. However, Georgia would strike first in the 33rd when a failed Minnesota clearance left the ball in front of Dominic Bonilla who slammed it into the back of the net, leaving the score at 1-0 for Georgia at the half. Georgia maintained that lead until the 87th before extending it to two when Bonilla set up Iain Smith who finished with a nice curling shot to the far post. Minnesota grabbed one back in added time after a long free kick into the box was finally sent into the net by Eddosa Muhamed, but the game would end 2-1 in favor of Georgia.

California South needed just 12 minutes to assume a two goal lead against Pennsylvania West, Steve Palacios and Ricardo Gutierrez netting for the westerners. Substitute Fernando Hernandez then took responsibility for a penalty kick he drew in the 58th, making it 3-0, before Zachary Batteer scored a penalty of his own for Pennsylvania West in the 88th. Hernandez would grab the goal back a minute later as the Californians finished with a 4-1 victory.

Here is the latest from Bonilla's hometown paper. He played on US U-14/15 boys before injuries. This speaks to his skills: “His core strength is good, but I think his first touch is what gets him out of those situations,” Collins Hill boys coach Drew Prentice said. “He’s almost impossible to dispossess. His first touch almost always gets him out of trouble. And his speed from zero to seven, eight yards, it’s tough for people to keep up with that athletically. And he’s almost faster with the ball than without it.” That's good. Who will he be competing against at CenterMid next two-four years?

So are you saying that Quinn won't be a ZIP?

I never heard of Dominic Bonilla before recently. That means nothing.

What I find interesting is that this coach’s description of Bonilla is exactly how I would have described Darlington Nagbe coming out of St. Edwards HS.

Yeah, Z.I.P.

Is this Quinn coming here or no?

Top Drawer mentions Bonilla in their recruitment article - http://www.topdrawersoccer.com/players-to-...er-heads-to-ACC

"Akron is simply the best possession team in college soccer and they enforce that playing style even against other top teams in the country," Bonilla said. "Who wouldn't want to join a team like that?"

Quinn is not the player I was referring to. I don't know anything about Quinn besides what I've read here. Seems however, that he can contribute to the team in some way, given his Bradley experience.
