Wake Forest Continues To Roll...

Going into the 2007 college season Wake Forest had a number of players on my scouting list and looked like a strong team. They've since gone on a seven game winning streak including two shutouts over ACC conference rivals Maryland and Clemson. Those two wins show this team is the real deal. The Demon Deacons have allowed only two goals all season.

Let's take a look at who is getting the business done for the best team in the land.

Forwards:
Cody Arnoux - Sophomore
Marcus Tracy - Junior

Midfielders:
Corben Bone - Freshman
Zack Schilawski - Sophomore
Lyle Adams - Junior
Sam Cronin - Junior
Austin da Luz - Sophomore

Defenders:
Evan Brown - Junior
Ike Opara - Freshman
Pat Phelan - Senior

Goal Keeper:
Brian Edwards - Senior

Looking at the above list of impact players there is no doubt Wake Forest has assembled an elite team. The above doesn't even include U-20 World Cup starter Julian Valentin on the back line because of injury. It also doesn't include backup keeper, Akira Fitzgerald, who has one appearance this season where he shut out Bradley. Look for Phelan, Valentin and Edwards at the 2008 MLS Combine. Don't be surprised to see Tracy, Bone and Arnoux in the Generation Adidas watch list come December.

  • I wonder how many of them will end up with New England. They have a couple of them.
