I'm confused Cap. Are you saying he's ours? Or was it just an update?

wow, harsh comments about us stealing and targeting recruits from teams with coaching changes.
--------------------  Through a student contest held in 1925, sports teams at The University of Akron were nicknamed the 'Zippers,' after a popular overshoe manufactured by The BF Goodrich Company in Akron. The nickname was officially shortened to the 'Zips' in 1950 When choosing a mascot in 1953, students chose a kangaroo because it has all the qualities of an athlete - speed, agility, power, and determination. |

This Dec 18 post from Rocketfootball on HawkTalk QUOTE Posted: Thu Dec 18, 2008 1:22 pm Post subject: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Akron is going after commits from MAC schools that lost their HC's very aggressively. They stole 4-star safety Jermaine Robinson from Toledo too. Of course Robinson is not the best student and it could be that he didn't like it when new UT coach Tim Beckman told him all Toledo football players will be sitting in the first two rows of all of their classes from now on. Finally Toledo has a coach that wants discipline and academics to be a part of the program. I've also heard that Brandt is having a little trouble in the classroom, so he probably fits in Akron's class better than Miami's. Who knows if he would have ever qualified at Miami. It looks like Zipmeister was smelling something after all when he made his "backhanded compliment" comment on the Robinson thread. -------------------- "Build it, and they can't tear it down.......not for a good 15-20 years anyway."

...as if Miami of Ohio were akin to an Ivy! I've found Miami alumni to be some of the worst college snobs out there. Here's a news flush Miami alum: Nobody other than your Mommy cares where you went to school 20 years ago.
When it comes to "stealing" recruits, all's fair in love, war and football recruiting. Stop your crying, Miami bitches. GO ZIPS! |

You're naturally going to have an emotional reaction like that.
No big deal. They obviously acknowledge the most likely reason for it (coaching change) but they still call it "stealing". So they have a handle on it intellectually but just cant deal with it emotionally. To be expected |

Let me get this straight: If we were changing coaches, every one else would avoid all the players we were trying to recruit?
Sounds like a plan... |

I'm sure the Zips had no relationship with these players prior to seeing their respective "verbaled" schools lose their coach.
 Robinson is the real deal. I'd be pissed if I were a Toledo fan too. |

I appreciate your insights on recruiting, but if you're going to slight UA's programs, academics...whatever...here, or on other MAC boards...your welcome wears out. |
