Ainscough on Ackim Mpofu: Ackim was the captain of the Under-17 national team in Zimbabwe, he has only been over in the United States for a couple of years. He's been at Cushing Academy, one of the New England private schools and that's where we got a chance to see him. After checking out his background of where he has played, we think he's really going to be a terrific four-year player for us right out the gate.
