Zip_ME87 Posted January 9, 2012 Report Posted January 9, 2012 According to a post on Bigsoccer he has signed homegrown contract with Columbus. The Crew website mentions the offering of a homegrown contract. The team is also awaiting a response from North Carolina junior Ben Speas, who has been offered a Home Grown Player contract. EDIT: If Ben has accepted, I've just become a Crew fan. Quote

Oops..hope I din't jump the gun Quote
fknbuflobo Posted January 9, 2012 Report Posted January 9, 2012 Oops..hope I din't jump the gun OK, if Speas signed with them, I suppose I will start following the Crew. But there is no chance I will EVER wear Black & Gold. Quote
Crew8 Posted January 9, 2012 Report Posted January 9, 2012 IMO I think we're just waiting for a signature and the Crew to officially release it. Speas Not Enrolled for Spring Semester Speas, Second Thoughts? Quote
MDZip Posted January 9, 2012 Report Posted January 9, 2012 Two straight national championships aren't a bad way to end a college career. I'm sure UNC was happy with the rental. Quote
Valpo Zip Posted January 10, 2012 Report Posted January 10, 2012 I'm sure UNC was happy with the rental. It is only fair for them to return the favor in a different sport. How about renting us some one like ... say Harrison Barnes for a year? Quote

yazan07 Posted January 11, 2012 Report Posted January 11, 2012 From Ives Galarcep's twitter: SoccerByIves Ives Galarcep Though they've lost Robbie Rogers (not a surprise) Columbus Crew have 2 B happy w/2 homegrown signings (Matt Lampson & Ben Speas) B4 Draft Quote
GalleyBoy Posted January 11, 2012 Report Posted January 11, 2012 Speas signs with Crew Article from Columbus Dispatch. Quote
bobbyake Posted January 11, 2012 Report Posted January 11, 2012 it's a done deal, he signed http://www.thecrew.com/news/2012/01/crew-s...omegrown-player Quote
bobbyake Posted January 11, 2012 Report Posted January 11, 2012 I will become a Crew fan if they take Luke Holmes at 26 or 29 Quote
Crew8 Posted January 11, 2012 Report Posted January 11, 2012 Slightly different article, but mostly the same as in the one above with a few extra quotes Dream come true for homegrown player Speas Quote
Zip_ME87 Posted January 11, 2012 Report Posted January 11, 2012 Count me as a Crew fan! Nice that Ben can celebrate his signing with the Crew and his 21st birthday (January 17th) in the same month. Impact at Crew on March 24th could be a huge Zips reunion, especially if Montreal selects Darren #1. Hopefully some of our current Zips will have the opportunity to attend that match. Quote
GalleyBoy Posted January 12, 2012 Report Posted January 12, 2012 It will be interesting to see how he fits into the 4-4-2. Good luck Ben! Quote
Crew8 Posted January 12, 2012 Report Posted January 12, 2012 Ben Speas enjoying Draft Day in Kansas City - Video at minute 2 Quote
yazan07 Posted January 12, 2012 Report Posted January 12, 2012 It will be interesting to see how he fits into the 4-4-2. Good luck Ben! Robbie Rogers just signed with Leeds United so maybe Speas will take some of his minutes. Quote
Zip_ME87 Posted January 12, 2012 Report Posted January 12, 2012 Ben Speas enjoying Draft Day in Kansas City - Video at minute 2 Video is blurry, but I believe Ben was wearing his Zips' National Championship ring...nice. Quote
Crew8 Posted January 13, 2012 Report Posted January 13, 2012 Here is another video interview with Ben Speas, Crew GM McCullers and Coach Warzycha while at Draft Day. Ben Speas Signs Homegrown Contract Quote
yazan07 Posted February 15, 2012 Report Posted February 15, 2012 Scroll down on this page for a picture of Speas wearing the weirdest jersey in MLS, complete with it's new sponsor http://www.bigsoccer.com/forum/showthread....06&page=133 Quote
RootforRoo44 Posted February 15, 2012 Report Posted February 15, 2012 Scroll down on this page for a picture of Speas wearing the weirdest jersey in MLS, complete with it's new sponsor http://www.bigsoccer.com/forum/showthread....06&page=133 Just awful. The yellow and black is bad enough but they found a way to make it look even worse. Quote
fknbuflobo Posted February 15, 2012 Report Posted February 15, 2012 I wonder if Crew players will be permitted facial hair. Quote
Z.I.P. Posted February 15, 2012 Report Posted February 15, 2012 The shirt with the black shoulders looks like a European auto racing (Formula V?) get-up. Through the internet maze of BigSoccer I found this article about Chivas-Montreal's early exhibition at Home Depot Center. Four ex-Zips saw action. Also, I'm glad to see Peter Vagenas (formerly "Mr LA Galaxy") coming back to the Tool Box with CDUSA. Hope the Goats are competitive this year. Quote
Crew8 Posted February 16, 2012 Report Posted February 16, 2012 Scroll down on this page for a picture of Speas wearing the weirdest jersey in MLS, complete with it's new sponsor http://www.bigsoccer.com/forum/showthread....06&page=133 The greatest sponsor of them all! Throwing out my can of Edge and replacing it with a can of Barbasol. I only hope they sell it in a yellow can. I'm liking the classic throwback vibe and thrilled the Crew picked up a sponsor. More dough! Quote
Blue & Gold Posted February 16, 2012 Report Posted February 16, 2012 I think the jerseys are fine. Whatever. You do whatcha gotta do. Quote
