Goalkeeper Recruit

[Z.I.P.]

I was not aware until reading this that Akron has had a new GK coach since last year -- Stuart Dobson, formerly under coach Vom Steeg at UC-Santa Barbara. Well, apparently Stuart and Jared are sales-worthy enough to have beaten out Louisville, Marquette and who knows who else for the services of Elliot Rubio, Goalkeeper for the Chicago Magic. I imagine he will redshirt in 14.

ZIP… Stuart is the best GK coach Akron has ever had and possibly the best in the country. I will be surprised if he stays very long because he belongs in MLS. He was responsible for Meves having such an outstanding senior year when he was well below his potential as a junior and soph. To illustrate that point, I attended a coaching course that evaluated an Akron game. The overwhelming conclusion of the 15 coaches in the class was that Meves was the weak link in a potentially strong defensive line. He was physically up for the job but lacking the mental confidence a GK on a great team needs. Stu came in the next year and changed that all around. David was prepared for the pros once Stu was done.

I hope all is well for you and you still have a cold one waiting at the beach bar at Hickam. Mahalo.
