Roster Changes 2014


Recommended Posts

Other notables have transferred (Ben Speas) before, as long as it doesn't become an epidemic, the Zips will be OK. Perhaps Foldesy didn't feel he fit in. Hard to know what's in the head of a 20 year old. Good luck to him (except when the Hoosiers play the Zips).

Using context clues, it looks like Nathan Quirk (Liverpool Academy) is coming to Akron in the next couple weeks. He was talked about in the 2013 recruiting thread, but didn't end up here. The clues are: Embick tweeted his excitement over the players coming in and said stay tuned; some Akron players retweeted a tweet saying Quirk was going to get his 5-year US Visa; and Quirk himself said he would be in Ohio in 2 weeks.

Either way, the announcement Embick was referring to could give us some insight into the squad for the spring games.

Then there’s Nathan Quirk who came to us for the last three months of the season after leaving Liverpool.

“Phil Roscoe from the Academy sent him down to us to get a smile back on his face and now he’s flying.

“With the help of Phil and Rodolfo Borrell, he’s got a full scholarship at the University of Akron – the best soccer university in America.

“It gives everyone a boost to see lads from the college moving on to great opportunities elsewhere.”

Haha wow. I guess I was 6 months late on that news. Not sure how I missed that.

Agreed. Furthering your points:

1. Supposing Ismail Seremba does not return (I really hope that he does), Zips will need another Forward.

2. Sean Sepe did not transfer here for depth. Nothing can be taken for granted, but he is undoubtedly expecting to start.

3. Is Tyler Sanda better than Matt Foldesy? I really liked Foldesy and I thought he was going to contribute mightily in 2014. Too bad. I have not seen Sanda since he was in high school. Why did Foldesy leave?

1. I hope Seremba returns. He showed flashes. If he does not, Zips will need another Forward.

2. Sepe did not transfer here for depth. He is expecting to start.

3. Why did Foldesy transfer? Is Sanda better than Foldesy? I don't think so.

Is our class ranked?

Not yet. TDS is trying to keep up. They are the ranking authority (cough), such as it exists.

@MODERATORS: I would love to employ the new Like This function. Every time I try, I get error message. You have reached your quota of positive votes for the day. That obviously cannot be true.
