fknbuflobo Posted January 2, 2013 Report Posted January 2, 2013 Check out this link about Lucas Cawley, a player in the Portland Timbers academy, settling on a college program. He has a top ten list of colleges that apparently does not include Akron. http://www.bigsoccer.com/community/threads....1973258/page-2 Quote

bobbyake Posted January 8, 2013 Report Posted January 8, 2013 What's the holdup with the Crew signing Chad Barson? Is he going to the draft instead? Quote
Zip_ME87 Posted January 8, 2013 Report Posted January 8, 2013 What's the holdup with the Crew signing Chad Barson? Is he going to the draft instead? I read this https://twitter.com/SoccerByIves/status/281829978243493888 back in December but have yet to see it confirmed by the Crew. Quote
Zip_ME87 Posted January 11, 2013 Report Posted January 11, 2013 Congratulations to DeAndre Yedlin, Sounders First ever Homegrown player. Quote
fknbuflobo Posted January 11, 2013 Report Posted January 11, 2013 Congratulations to DeAndre Yedlin, Sounders First ever Homegrown player. I really hate this news. It does not seem to me like a good idea. Best of luck to Yedlin. We will be watching. Quote
fknbuflobo Posted January 11, 2013 Report Posted January 11, 2013 Per Ives: Ives Galarcep @SoccerByIves "Yedlin isn't going to be last Akron player to sign a Homegrown Player deal this winter. I'm told Dillon Serna is close to signing w/Colorado" Quote
Z.I.P. Posted January 13, 2013 Report Posted January 13, 2013 I really hate this news. It does not seem to me like a good idea. Best of luck to Yedlin. We will be watching. There's surely no surprise about this. And the only problem I have is, I'm now a Timbers fan! Come into Jeldwen, D.A., you better bring it -- an I'm not talkin'bout the 'hawk! Quote

Come into Jeldwen, D.A., you better bring it -- an I'm not talkin'bout the 'hawk! I have it on good authority that Serna may also be leaving for the Rapids Quote
Zip_ME87 Posted January 14, 2013 Report Posted January 14, 2013 I have it on good authority that Serna may also be leaving for the Rapids No confirmed signing yet that I can find, but indicators are soon... http://www.burgundywave.com/2013/1/12/3867...contract-rapids https://twitter.com/Rapids_News/status/289905932715061248 I'm going to miss Dillon. I wish I would have found time to talk with him more. I enjoyed talking with his mother in Omaha and at one game in Akron. I look forward to seeing them again, hopefully, one day. Quote
fknbuflobo Posted January 15, 2013 Report Posted January 15, 2013 It is almost too late to land a top five recruiting class. I believe we have had top five recruiting classes every year during the Porter era, several times securring the top class. http://www.topdrawersoccer.com/college-soc...ommitments#tabs Quote
Crew8 Posted January 15, 2013 Report Posted January 15, 2013 Anyone keeping tabs on to how David Meves been doing in the MLS combine? Only article I stumbled across today with a mention of David. MLS Combine: Wild 2-2 draw opens Day 3 in Florida David Meves: MLS Profile Quote

Interesting ... I thought Robby Dambrot had verbaled elsehere. Quote
Zip_ME87 Posted January 15, 2013 Report Posted January 15, 2013 From Travis Clark tweet: 2013 Akron recruiting class continues to take shape. IMG defender Brett Gravatt and Robbie Dambrot committed. Quote

I thought Robby Dambrot had verbaled elsehere. No, I am NOT sure Porter had great first recruiting class. But that class included Ben Zemanski whom I know was heavily recruited by many. Quote

bobbyake Posted January 16, 2013 Report Posted January 16, 2013 No, I am NOT sure Porter had great first recruiting class. But that class included Ben Zemanski whom I know was heavily recruited by many. Ben Zemanski was a Ken Lolla recruit (committed before Lolla left). Porter had to convince him to stay. Porter talks about that being his first challenge when he came to Akron in his farewell speech. Quote

Porter talks about that being his first challenge when he came to Akron in his farewell speech. Correct. Who else was in that same recruiting class? Vedran Ilic? Johnny Grebenc? Definitely not a top 5 class. Quote

Zip_ME87 Posted January 17, 2013 Report Posted January 17, 2013 I didn't hear the "Whoops" from HeadAviatorRowdie. What's up with that? No "whoops" necessary. Robbie Dambrot was previously listed on Top Drawer as committed to High Point. Quote

Najem...............................Quinn ..................Foldesy..................

I have no inside information whatsoever. So, if you are a bench player from last season reading this, and you want to start, feel free to ignore my assessment. Go beat someone out. I would love it if you do. Main thing is to to win another star, right!?!?!?!? Quote
