There is a somewhat famous Kamara that plays for the Crew??? I've tried to find if there is a family connection between Sinneh and Kei. In doing so, I've discovered that CrewSC has added another Kamara, Ola. I wonder if there is a family connection? http://www.columbuscrewsc.com/post/2016/02/04/crew-sc-acquires-forward-ola-kamara Edited February 4, 2016 by Zip_ME87 Quote

Could there ever be TresKamaras?! Quote
TennZip Posted February 5, 2016 Author Report Posted February 5, 2016 a premium article from top drawer soccer...lists the big winners from signing day http://www.topdrawersoccer.com/club-soccer-articles/big-winners-from-signing-day-2016_aid38807 I will post small snippets from the article...there were 4 winners listed....ucla women, akron men, college teams in the nc research triangle and the us-canada soccer pipeline part of the akron section: The cavalry is coming. Few men’s programs - if any - had a better Wednesday than the Zips, who threw up a fence around their recruits and snagged all of them. Chicago Magic studs Jesus Perez and Emmanuel Sabbi were the big names. Sabbi is one of the best forwards in the U.S. YNT system and Perez is a possession center mid with promise for days. The Zips also signed Laryea’s little brother Reggie and a huge, earth-shaking commit from Seattle Sounders defender Nicholas Hinds, one of the best in the academy. Quote
TennZip Posted February 5, 2016 Author Report Posted February 5, 2016 from the same article from top drawer soccer... snippet from the section on us-canada pipeline And on the men’s side, Akron dipped north of the border to grab Reggie Laryea and Marcel Zajac, both of whom are top quality recruits.

TennZip Posted February 5, 2016 Author Report Posted February 5, 2016 long 23 minute video....if you go to the 13;20 mark in the video...a columbus crew academy coach talks about Sinneh Kamara.

Zip_ME87 Posted February 8, 2016 Report Posted February 8, 2016 I don't recall seeing this posted. I apologize, however, if it is a repeat. Reggie Laryea and Marcel Zajec are among TDS' top international signees to watch. http://www.topdrawersoccer.com/college-soccer-articles/mens-soccer:-top-intl-signees-to-watch_aid38818 Quote
