TennZip Posted August 7, 2021 Report Posted August 7, 2021 This is the zips 3rd recruit for 2022. However, I can't find a topic.....for 2022. I will post this here and I will go back and look for the first 2 recruits Welcome to Anis. PS.....we love top goal scorers !!! 1 Quote
TennZip Posted August 7, 2021 Author Report Posted August 7, 2021 Earlier this week (before the Anis Smajlovic commitment), top Drawer soccer ranked the zips 2022 recruiting class as 8th best in the country. 2 very highly rated players. Welcome to Levi and Stefan. https://www.topdrawersoccer.com/club-soccer-articles/2022-mens-recruiting-rankings:-august_aid49670 8. Akron Commitments: F Stefan Dobrijevic (Internationals SC – No. 83), D Levi Stephens (Internationals SC – No. 84) Only two commitments have reported their decision to join Akron. But with both ranked in the Top 100, it propels Akron to this spot. 2 Quote
TennZip Posted August 7, 2021 Author Report Posted August 7, 2021 This was Stefan announcing his soccer commitment to Akron. I believe that Stefan goes to Green High School. Welcome , Stefan. 2 Quote
TennZip Posted August 7, 2021 Author Report Posted August 7, 2021 Levi committed to Akron on May 26, 2020. Very belated welcome to Levi. I really look forward to seeing you play in Fall 2022. Levi has trained with the Philadelphia Union academy and he has represented the USA in many international soccer contests. 1 Quote
Zip_ME87 Posted December 12, 2021 Report Posted December 12, 2021 Welcome Ashton Kamdem https://www.instagram.com/p/CXXpmblMlZw/?utm_medium=copy_link 2 Quote
TennZip Posted December 12, 2021 Author Report Posted December 12, 2021 good find on Ashton Kamdem I know that FC Cincinnati academy is pretty new very nice to see the zips get a quality defender from that academy Zips nation sends out a warm welcome to Ashton Kamdem 3 Quote
fknbuflobo Posted December 12, 2021 Report Posted December 12, 2021 I do not yet know Ashton Kamdem, but I have watched Levi Stephens play many times. Hard for me to believe that there are 80 ~18-year old players better than Stephens. ZipsNation welcomes Ashton and Levi! 3 Quote
Zip_ME87 Posted December 12, 2021 Report Posted December 12, 2021 Not sure why Ashton's IG post shows Ontario, CA. Looks like he attends Lakota West High School in the Cincinnati area. https://www.cincinnati.com/picture-gallery/sports/high-school/high-school-sports/2021/11/10/photos-greater-cincinnatis-november-2021-national-signing-day/6372484001/ Quote

Hard for me to believe that there are 80 ~18-year old players better than Stephens. ZipsNation welcomes Ashton and Levi! It is great to see your very positive comments on Levi. Actually, top drawer soccer....dropped Levi from 85 to 92 in the latest rankings so, they actually think that there are 91 better players. 25 of their top 34 have already gone pro....#3 on their list is Cade Cowell...and #4 is Paxten Aaronsen of the Philadelphia Union...#6 on their list is Evan Rotundo of Schalke. those 3 are pretty darn good.....Hopefully, Levi will prove top drawer soccer wrong and make their all freshman team next year a bright spot....about Levi at 92....is one of the folks rated ahead of him.....is a zip recruit..... Stefan Dobrijevic.....dropped from 84 to 91 in the latest rankings Stefan is a forward from Internationals SC the videos of Anis Smajlovic on you tube.....look good.... hopefully, all 4 known recruits, Levi, Stefan, Anis and Ashton.....bring much happiness to zips fans. 1 Quote
Let'sGoZips94 Posted December 13, 2021 Report Posted December 13, 2021 Do any of them have a cannon for a leg? This team desperately needs a scorer - or two. 2 Quote

Akron has proven, in recent years, that Forward doesn't always mean "scorer". Are either of the two "Forward" recruits snipers? I'm all for a cohesive, talented midfield as well to help create offense. We. Just. Need. To. Score. Edited December 13, 2021 by Let'sGoZips94 Quote
