Setting up for 2012...Zips 2011 Roster: http://gozips.com/sports/msoc/2011-12/roster?sort=year (for those who don't have it memorized)We have 3 Seniors that we will lose to graduation: Michael Balogun - Senior - Starter – Defending MidfielderMatt Dagilis – Senior - spot Starter – DefenderLuke Holmes – Senior - soon to be Starter – Forward/StrikerThe following are underclassmen who are the most likely to leave via a Generation Adidas Contract/ Sponsorship:Chad Barson – Junior - Starter - DefenderDarren Mattocks – Sophomore - Starter - Striker/forwardScott Caldwell – Junior - Starter - Midfielder David Meves – Junior - Starter – GKThe following are underclassmen who could possibly leave (Maybe 1 - Definitely not ALL) via a Generation Adidas Contract/ Sponsorship:Aodhan Quinn – Sophomore – Starter – MidfielderBrian Gallego – Freshman – Starter – DefenderDavid Mayer - Freshman – Starter – DefenderWil Trapp - Freshman – Starter – MidfielderDeAndre Yedlin - Freshman – Starter – DefenderEveryone is an Adidas candidate at this point… given the level of talent on this team… even freshmen… as we learned last year.Hopefully though… we’ll keep all of our freshmen… sophomores (Mattocks threw up a red flag already… and it might have cost him in the goal ranking this year)… and maybe we’ll even see a junior or two return for their senior year (Caldwell and Meves are often underrated)So Far… we have 2 class of 2012 players signed:http://rise.espn.go.com/boys-soccer/articl...ommitments.aspxMatt Foldesy............MF.......North Olmsted, Ohio....St. Ignatius............USSDA Internationals SC Andrew Souders.......D.........Amherst, Ohio............Amherst Steele.......USSDA Columbus Crew http://www.topdrawersoccer.com/players-to-...op-100/men/2012Souders is currently ranked the #6 prospect by TopDrawer. It does not appear that we are on the list of colleges for any other 5-Star player… but most are not listing colleges yet. Most of the East Coast guys are committed to ACC Teams… and most California guys are committed to California colleges. Maybe we can break into the California pool this year… and/or get another couple of guys from Texas too.
