Lowe's Senior Class Award... Who should get a nomination?

Chad Barson - Scott Caldwell - David Meves - Thomas Schmitt ???

Tough call... but I vote for Barson

Anyone else have an opinion on which Akron SENIOR should get a nomination for the Lowes SENIOR CLASS AWARD for 2012?

Ampai won it in 2010.

What about the Ladies Soccer Team ?

I think any of our 4 seniors are deserving. Scott and Chad probably have the highest GPAs, but I don't know that for certain, and I don't know enough about all of their off field activities. I am certain that the Zips will be more than well-represented. We have 4 awesome seniors! EDIT: And, I could never adequately thank them for the commitment and pride they bring to us.

In soccer... and some other sports... the real meaning of the CLASS award is somewhat lost... I think.

I SUSPECT... that it was spec'ed out for football-like programs... where a Senior might turn down Pro contracts to stick around for her/his Senior year... knowing that a pro contract will come after graduation.

In most other (or some?) college sports... if a player is offered a Pro Contract... they bolt.

Soccer works a little different.

We All know how the Generation Adidas contracts work... and it's more of a collective offer that involves coaches and players and MLS and USSoccer. Every once in a while... a player sticks around for a Senior year in soccer... and we hear about it.. but I can't remember it happening in Akron.

SO... I think that maybe some of the CLASS Award guidelines are RELAXED a bit for soccer... and VOTING has a larger impact.

Let's remember that in a few months... !!!

I disagree. I think CLASS means commitment to the school (involvement other than in the chosen sport), commitment in the classroom, commitment on the field, and commitment to the community. Since it is a SENIOR award, that would account for not leaving school early for the pro's.

Yes, I believe this award exclusively considers seniors.

This award is analogous to the HS Gatorade Player of the Year. It is not based solely on soccer ability.

I'm amazed how easy it is to vote for this. Just lick the person you want and put in the code it shows. It's so simple!!

I really like Scott and hope he wins, but I'm sorry, I just can't bring myself to lick him (plus I think that would really annoy him too :)).
