Captain Kangaroo Posted January 30, 2018 Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 14 hours ago, fknbuflobo said: What are Will Jackson's other (potential) sports? Do tell. Like Will, my son is also a Junior at Hudson. They've both played in a school-sponsored rec basketball league over the winter. Will could dunk a basketball last year, as a Sophomore. That alone makes him unique among the local HS soccer standouts. Great shooter, and ball handler. From a competitive standpoint, he has no business playing in the rec basketball league ...he's head and shoulders above any of the other kids. If he wanted to be an all state Div 2 guard, he could do it. He's the best athlete in the Hudson 2019 class. He lists at 5'10", 165. But he's a "thick" 165. Not the typical slender HS soccer player. He's strong. He could easily be an elite HS football running back or slot receiver too. For the Zips I think you'll see a player that is strong, aggressive and does things at a very high speed. Great coordination. Just a gifted athlete that happened to focus on soccer. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Z.I.P. Posted February 1, 2018 Report Share Posted February 1, 2018 (edited) Top Drawer Soccer now has caught up to Zipnation with an article titled: "Akron Men's Soccer Land a Trio of VerbalsAkron picked up three offensive-minded midfielders, adding depth to its strong recruiting class of 2018 & 2019." However, it is restricted to paying customers! Edited February 1, 2018 by Z.I.P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TennZip Posted February 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2018 that has to be the recruit shown on top drawer.... they list him as being with Belenenses...and the english translation shows that team his comments are very heart-felt...seems like an appreciative young man translation: Without a doubt a walk that I will never forget throughout my life ... WE HAVE HISTORY (National Vice-Champions / Best Defense in the Country) ?? Nothing is impossible ... There are no words to describe what I felt throughout this time. We were a real family. "The union made the force" ?? Inhuman what we were able to do ... I want to thank all those who accompanied me throughout my training: to Odivelas, Sport Lisboa and Benfica and finally to Belenenses, this great a club that has welcomed me with great affection for almost 5 years. But this does not end here ... I'm focused on the present to achieve what I want in the future ? God enlighten me ?? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZipsVoice Posted February 12, 2018 Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 I am EXCITED! I have seen Biros play for years, and have also caught Tojaga play in four different matches. I am very impressed with both, and like Biro's' style. Jared nailed it in his description of Colin on GoZips.com. He will be a good fit wherever, andis a great 'tweener. And two Portugese??? Two Joaos would be great, but if we got a half a Joao from each that would equal one Joao (I love to say Joao!!!) 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zip_ME87 Posted February 12, 2018 Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 (edited) I'm excited, too. These 10 players + the 3 players that joined for Spring 2018 + ???
