AJ Price was a one-time Penn State WR with lots of potential.

Let's not forget that also included in today's signing class is Clayton Moore, 6-1, 210, QB from Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College (signed originally with Ole Miss) and Vinnie Rizzo, 6-3, 275, C from Nassau Community College. Moore attended Louisville HS in Louisville, Miss., and Rizzo Manhassett HS in Manhassett, N.Y. Both enrolled in class at UA last month and will be with the team for spring practice in March and April.


While still big enough, Moore's HT/WT listed here are smaller than on some other sites.

Rizzo must have played against WR AJ Price since Dean and Nassau are in the same JUCO conference.

Which could explain how they "found" Price if Rizzo is already on campus?

Speaking of quarterbacks, Kyle Pohl's NLI just came across the fax. He weighs in at 6-3, 205 from Farmersville, Ohio and Valley View High. That brings today's signee list to 17 student-athletes (15 newcomers plus QB Clayton Moore and C Vinnie Rizzo, who have already enrolled).

10:17 a.m. ET
ESPNU's all-day coverage of National Signing Day just ran a feature on Akron quarterbacks coach Ron Powlus, who signed at Notre Dame in 1992. He was named Parade Magazine's prep player of the year and USA Today's offensive prep player of the year as a HS senior. He is featured in this week's ESPN Magazine as well.

10:15 a.m. ET
A pair of Glenville HS teammates just signed with the UA. DBs Johnny Robinson, 5-10, 180, and Devonte Morgan, 5-11, 180, both join the Zips after standout careers under coach Ted Ginn in Lewis Center, OH.

10:00 a.m. ET
Another wave of faxes just arrived. Safety Bryce Cheek, 6-0, 176, from Olentangy HS in Lewis Center, Ohio, OL John Clay, 6-3, 340, from East St. Louis HS in Illinois and Tyrell Goodman, 6-2, 210, from Archbishop Stepinac HS (Coach Ianello's alma mater) have all sent their NLIs to Akron.



Clay at 6'-3" 340 LB!

They didn't state a position (s) for Tyrell Goodman yet (HS QB). WR is looking like a probable spot for him.

It is pretty amazing the inroads we are making at Glenville, especially since they moved it so close to Columbus............ rolleyes.gif
