TennZip Posted May 9, 2022 Author Report Posted May 9, 2022 Top Drawer soccer is showing a new class of 2022 recruit in this week's recruiting roundup https://www.topdrawersoccer.com/club-soccer-articles/sima-recruiting-roundup:-may-9-15_aid50796 From what I can find, Mansour Diop was part of the Philadelphia Union YSC academy for 2021 (Mitchell Budler was also part of that group) Mansour Diop originally committed to play at Penn State for the fall of 2021. However, he elected to stay as an amateur and play for Union 2. Diop is a 6'5 center back. Originally from Senegal. Moved to the US at age 14. Welcome, Mansour Diop to zips nation. 4 Quote
fknbuflobo Posted May 9, 2022 Report Posted May 9, 2022 Welcome, Mansour Diop to Zips Nation!!! Very intriguing prospect! 1 Quote
Let'sGoZips94 Posted May 16, 2022 Report Posted May 16, 2022 Have we ever had a 6'+ defender? That's a bit sarcastic but we are usually much smaller than our opponents. I like the size! Quote
TennZip Posted August 10, 2022 Author Report Posted August 10, 2022 Jared and the coaches were allowed to start coaching the team yesterday. First exhibition game is 5 days away. Is today the day....that we finally get a news release...telling us about the new players that we will be joining the team this fall? I look forward to reading Coach Embick's words about Ashton Kamdem, Mansour Diop.....and any other new players joining the zips for the Fall 2022 campaign. 2 Quote
fknbuflobo Posted August 10, 2022 Report Posted August 10, 2022 I would hope that the press release would be today. If not today, there may not even be a press release. Unbelievable. Quote

Zip_ME87 Posted August 10, 2022 Report Posted August 10, 2022 (edited) GoZips.com lists Santiago Frias at 6' 4" https://gozips.com/sports/mens-soccer/roster Shane Wiedt is listed as 6' 3" https://www.riverhounds.com/roster/shane-wiedt/ Edited August 10, 2022 by Zip_ME87 Quote
Z.I.P. Posted August 10, 2022 Report Posted August 10, 2022 So who IS going to be our goalkeeper this season? 🤔 Quote
Zip_ME87 Posted August 10, 2022 Report Posted August 10, 2022 Welcome 6 new players ... Seth Wilson GK Gavin Hill GK Matty Evans GK Ashton Kamdem D Mansour Diop D Terence Okoeguale MF 1 Quote
TennZip Posted August 13, 2022 Author Report Posted August 13, 2022 I am totally intrigued by the comments on Ashton Kamdem. I really hope that Ashton Kamdem gets a tremendous amount of playing time at Left back. Embick on Kamdem – "Ashton is a quick left back that is a good two-way player. He can help us build out of the back and gives us a threat in final third as an overlapping fullback. He also is a solid defender that handles 1v1 situations well." 4 Quote
