27 page thread on devoe torrence from suckeye fan site. It's nice to see what everyone thought of him 2 years ago when he was first being recruited. Kind of gives you chills to see how good many people think this kid is.

Here are the stories I have found so far. Leave some comments to encourage future Zips coverage.

Ohio.com - Blue chip prospect joins Zips

CantonRep.com - Torrence finds spot with Akron

that should be it's own thread, a thread where everyone posts zips stories so we can all comment on them and make the papers see that we want zips coverage and not can't state articles.

That's a good idea. Now that you mention it, I was looking at Syracuse's Scout.com forum and they have a daily thread for news stories involving the university and its athletics, and posting comments in the links is encouraged.

I second that. It's a great idea that is so seemingly obvious I'm surprised we didn't think of that years ago!

back to Torrence...i hope this guy figures it out...remember...he was acquitted...not because he did not have sex with a TWELVE year old, but because the issue of 'consent'(even though 12 year olds can't legally give consent) came up and because as would be expected anytime you have to rly on a 12 year old things get real crazy..i deal with sex offenders in my line of work...the lack of maturity on the part of the adult is the ONLY issue here...the adult is responsible for making the decisions...if this is an indication of his abilities in that area we will be hearing from him again...hopefully his brain got rewired in a hurry...

and if his brain has not been rewired, i dont care what JD has to do. This kid has talent, if JD has to secretly assign someone to follow this kid and keep him in check i dont care. This could be the kind of player that will give us the excitement locally and nationally to get us other bigtime players, not to mention boost ticket sales.

I hope you aren't comparing Torrence to an adult. At the time of the alleged incident, he was 17. As for the rest of the hemming and hawing over this, let it go. He was acquitted. Let's just see what happens.
