bobbyake Posted February 3, 2012 Author Report Posted February 3, 2012 Top Drawer believes Akron has the #1 class. I agree!! http://www.topdrawersoccer.com/players-to-...-Classes-Ranked Quote
yazan07 Posted February 3, 2012 Report Posted February 3, 2012 Top Drawer believes Akron has the #1 class. I agree!! http://www.topdrawersoccer.com/players-to-...-Classes-Ranked With the guys we're bringing in, I would have been surprised to be ranked anything less than #1. Quote
TheTank123 Posted February 3, 2012 Report Posted February 3, 2012 With the guys we're bringing in, I would have been surprised to be ranked anything less than #1. I don't really think our class can be ranked until we actually have a class to rank. I haven't seen any confirmed NLI's anywhere. Quote
Blue & Gold Posted February 3, 2012 Report Posted February 3, 2012 So did Alfred Koroma sign, or not? Quote
bisbee Posted February 3, 2012 Report Posted February 3, 2012 So did Alfred Koroma sign, or not? Probably doesn't matter....only thing that matters is where he is in August. Quote
TheTank123 Posted February 3, 2012 Report Posted February 3, 2012 Probably doesn't matter....only thing that matters is where he is in August. I have no idea who signed or didn't... Quote
fknbuflobo Posted February 3, 2012 Report Posted February 3, 2012 I am keen to see Akron's signed LOI list published. Quote
TheTank123 Posted February 3, 2012 Report Posted February 3, 2012 I am keen to see Akron's signed LOI list published. I think we all are. I can only assume those who committed signed their LOI's. The only one I worry about is Koroma. Will also be interesting to see what kind of foreign kids we're looking at. Quote

Will also be interesting to see what kind of foreign kids we're looking at. Supposing Koroma signs and comes, I do not think we need to add anyone else. I want to see more carry-over and continuity in 2012 than we did last year. Quote
Zip_ME87 Posted February 3, 2012 Report Posted February 3, 2012 Supposing Koroma signs and comes, I do not think we need to add anyone else. I disagree. Darren Mattocks was a "late" addition...more, please. Quote
fknbuflobo Posted February 3, 2012 Report Posted February 3, 2012 If everyone on TDS's commitment list materializes, we do not need further addition. There are less than 10 full scholarships to dole out. Koroma will likely command a full ride, as did Mattocks. The program can support only so many full-ride, soccer-only, scholarships. Quote
Zip_ME87 Posted February 3, 2012 Report Posted February 3, 2012 This is the best I can find for Koroma NLI: http://www.dallasjuventus.com/news.aspx Quote
fknbuflobo Posted February 3, 2012 Report Posted February 3, 2012 This is the best I can find for Koroma NLI: http://www.dallasjuventus.com/news.aspx Thanks! That is more than we had before. There are numerous sites having Koroma coming to Akron. I cannot see all those sites being wrong. I am starting to feel fairly confident about it. Quote

I cannot imagine he will get a "full ride" especially as a freshman. Quote
fknbuflobo Posted February 4, 2012 Report Posted February 4, 2012 I cannot imagine he will get a "full ride" especially as a freshman. Really? That is not what I have heard. I heard that Mattocks got a full ride, and Koroma looks to do the same. You definitely would know better than I. Please elaborate. Quote
plowerman78 Posted February 4, 2012 Report Posted February 4, 2012 Don't worry Zip fans just spoke with Coach Porter, Alfred Koroma did sign with Akron. Said it was one of his hardest persons to get here but he got him to sign. In his words Koroma is "an absolute beast" and Top Drawer Soccer named Akron's class #1 in the nation....hmm whos ready for the 2012 season Quote

This is going to be another great year. We have a strong core of about seven starters coming back, some real good senior leadership, and we're filling in the holes with some of the best players in the country. We have more returning players than new players, which is something we couldn't say last year. Quote

Heck, I'm looking forward to Spring games. I hear that our entire Spring schedule will be in Ohio if it pans out as planned. 3 home games, possibly a game or so in Geneva, OH, and the fathest away in Cincy (Xavier). Quote
