What ever happened to?.. Abdullah Homayed and Chris Henderson? I was ambitious about these guys, did they transfer?

What do you mean? isn't Abdullah on the roster? #44

Couldn't find anything about Henderson, wasn't he a 4-star defensive player or something? I can't really remember

Chris Henderson went to Milford Academy in New York for two years. He eventually ended up committing to a smaller school named Indiana of Pennsylvania.

Who was that Grayshirt Fr. kicker that was supposed to be so great? I don't see him on the roster? I was looking forward to seeing if he was as good as advertised.

Ahh...the Couch kid. Yeah, what happened to him? Didn't he win the NFL Punt Pass & Kick contest?

Couch's dad used to be on the board regularly and had many interesting posts. He was a very positive guy. I hope things work out for his son. He seemed to be a good find for the Zips.

Abdullah is not on the roster at GOZIPS.com

Sophomore WR Nadir Brown has transferred out.

I expect we'll learn about more transfers in the coming days.

Any source?

Facebook. He's now at Nassau CC.

Players missing from the 2010 roster, as compared to 2009 roster as of 8/5/10:

Seniors:
DB Tyler Campbell
LB Viktor Rajek
WR Richard Sandilands
OL Jason Sekinger

Juniors:
P Eric Lee
LB Da-Von Moore
WR Shawn Roberts
LB Aaron Williams

Sophomores:
DE Abdullah Homayed
OL Adam Bice
WR Nadir Brown - transferred to Nassau CC
DB Thomas Miller
LB Nate Schuler
DB Norman Shuford - transferred to Grand Valley State
RB Devoe Torrence - transferred... somewhere?
QB Jared Wackerly

Most of them will show up again once the roster is updated to include the freshmen.

Any word on Bain?

I hear he will misst the first game and then be ready for the rest of the seaon.

Bain will bring the pain..

Well then I don't know if "transferred out" is the proper term... "failed out" might work a little better.

Seniors:
DB Tyler Campbell - "Sleigh Ride Campbell" - Named after his 17 tackle game @ Wisconsin, where #48 was drug all over the secondary by Badger RB's. A common occurrence for Zips safetys in the 3-3-5 stack.
LB Viktor Rajek - European Olympic bobsledder. Great story. Not so great a football player.
WR Richard Sandilands - Walk on WR.
OL Jason Sekinger - Massive OL from Minnesota. Rarely, if ever played.

Juniors:
P Eric Lee - Never heard of him.
LB Da-Von Moore - More injuries than Evil Knievel.
WR Shawn Roberts - One of Bob Huggins better power forwards. Did not know he had eligibility remaining?
LB Aaron Williams - Broken arm last season. An undersized LB at 205lbs, but he was pretty tough.

Sophomores:
DE Abdullah Homayed - Had a lot of promise. Fingers are crossed that his omission was a mistake.
OL Adam Bice - Never played.
WR Nadir Brown - transferred to Nassau CC - Great WR body, but was definitely a raw project.
DB Thomas Miller - Total unknown.
LB Nate Schuler - Punishing hitter at the Division VI HS level. But unlike Brian Wagner, Schuler was unable to elevate his game to play with the big boys.
DB Norman Shuford - transferred to Grand Valley State. Just didn't fit in @ UA.
RB Devoe Torrence - transferred... somewhere? Wrote his own ticket out of Akron. Very high-maintenance player.
QB Jared Wackerly - Walk on

A handful of minor-contributing scholarship players and several scout-teamers. Not a big deal.

Sandilands was actually given a scholarship by JD in his freshman season, and he has contributed. Other than that, you're spot on though. Be nice to have some of these guys back, but nothing earth shattering here.
