Mike,

As far as the WBB program and the players who were "kicked-off", or left under friendly fire — whatever the case may be: Take a look at who recruited most of those players. Coach Kest is the one responsible for the subtraction. She has subtracted my interest from her team.

Don't pull the key to those shackles out yet, Razor. I haven't read that SMU has hired a new coach yet!

As Gonzaga is to college basketball and as Wichita State is to college baseball Akron is becoming to college soccer.

P.s. And KD is turning Akron basketball into the next Gonzaga! It's good to be a Zip!

I agree. Problem is, it won't prevent a big school from coming by with an offer that doubles Porter's contract. Here's what Akron does have going for it in keeping Porter: Lolla hasn't been doing so great at Louisville, which might indicate that it's a great program, not a great string of coaches. (I don't believe that, but that fact should instill some skepticism.)

A similar circumstance happened, IMO, with KSU's basketball coaches. Heath and Waters did very little in BCS schools. That made Jim Christian less appealing. It was the program, not the coaches, they probably believed.

The sturdies pair of shackles that Mack can give Caleb is a commitment to the soccer program. Find money to give a nationally ranked team a world class soccer complex. Build a new soccer stadium.
