2012 Sandon Mibut College Soccer Signings Thread

And for those that don't read the 2012 Ray Reid & Ed Kelly I Don't Care Enough About My Program To Announce My Recruits Shit List, this was posted there earlier.

Hartford might have a tough year by the looks of things. Their best player just transferred out after his freshmen year. It was the kid from Ghana, I remember watching him back at Hotchkiss.

I assume you're talking about Atobra Ampadu. To where is he transferring?

I hear he's going to BC .

If he's going to BC then I'm not surprised we haven't heard about it yet. I knew it had to be them or UCONN. Rumor was the new coach at Hartford refused to release him, so I'm not sure if he can even play this year?

Longwood University announced theirs: http://www.longwoodlancers.com/roster.aspx?path=msoc&

I don't mean to be a dick, but that's not a release or an announcement.

That's discreetly posting your roster, which is not the same as actually announcing your recruits.

13 new recruits for a team that only had 4 seniors last year. Looks like Andrulis decided to clean house.

My apologies, Sandon. I was honestly confused . You must admit, however, that they are very efficient. They are providing all the info BS that is usually provided in a "release or an announcement" in a single web page.

Wisconsin and Missouri State with late additions.

I thought the Providence coaching change had the potential to cause/effect more than a few xfers (and other stuff). It appears three out and three in.

Well I guess you're right, here it is finally... http://www.bceagles.com/sports/m-soccer/spec-rel/072712aaa.html

Wow. With him and Masur both announcing, it makes me wonder whether coaches might actually care about what gets said in this little forum. (I doubt it, but it's still surprising to see them both change their ways.)

Surprising ? yes , but this is probably the most reliable and informative forum discussing college soccer on the web so it would be cool to think they are finally taking note. Finally.


Yet to be confirmed but I am reliably informed Young Harris Sophmore Stephen McGinn has transferred to Webber International University ( Fla ). The right sided midfielder will team up with head coach Neil Cockburn from his home city of Edinburgh early next month.

Navy announces, Vogel is a big get for them.

No release but Connecticut finally updates their 2012 roster. The newcomers are



11 Adria Beso 5-6 Midfield JR Lleida, Spain
4 Sergio Campell 6-3/192 Defense SO Clarendon, Jamaica
26 Dwight Ceballo 6-0/175 Defense FR Arouca, Trinidad

29 Jon-Luke Ferrandino 5-11/163 Midfield FR New Canaan, Conn.
9 George Fochive 5-9/172 Midfield JR Silver Spring, Md.

7 Kareem Morad 6-1/180 Defense SO Chino Hills, Calif.

24 Christian Porras 5-9/165 Midfield FR Rockville, Md.

25 Jesse Wasserman 6-2/170 Defense FR Farmington, Conn.

21 Nicholas Zuniga 6-0/173 Forward FR Norwalk, Conn.

Adding two foreigners in the same class marks a big change for the Zags. Apart from an occasional Canadian or Icelandic player, this program had been close to 100% American for a long time. Nowadays, though, it's hard to go without internationals and remain competitive.

Last year's runners-up finally check in.

As do the Hatters...

In short, they're returning eight starters and adding a couple of transfers from Akron. Assuming they can plug a couple of defensive holes, a return to this year's College Cup is very realistic.

And while I hate to beat a dead horse, I guarantee that players at a bunch of ACC schools would love to face off with this group of national finalists. Geographically, it would make perfect sense, yet there isn't a single one of these teams on Charlotte's schedule. It looks as though ACC administrators are avoiding them, just like they avoid a lot of other tough non-conference games. Those folks really need to quit making excuses, stand up, and compete.

In my humble opinion.. silly to add them to the schedule for ACC teams. Consider the Olympic track qualifier heats. They don't put the fastest 8 runners in the same heatr, they spread them out so the finals is the most exciting race to watch. Same goes here. Why have the best teams beat each other up in the "regular" season.. lets let the "best" 32 teams fight it out in the tourney... NOT the last 32 standing....

The reason they spread the top runners out is that it's the best way to give everyone a fair shot at earning a place in the final.

For one thing, head-to-head games are the best way to decide who deserves bids and high seeds in the tourney. For another, most players and most fans want this kind of game. Facing the best is how you prove yourself and how you improve. If ACC teams start facing more tough opponents, maybe one day they'll learn how to do something other than bunker against Akron.

Yes, maybe they'll learn to win 5 of the last 7 national championships.
