Zips, Chipps and Owls not giving up on BGSU verbal

Scout Profile

Great find!

From the last paragraph: The Lackawanna Conference landed four players on the Big 33 team – Abington Heights tight end Morgan Craig, Delaware Valley offensive lineman Brandon Clemons, Dunmore offensive lineman Paul Gaughan and Riverside running back Nick Rossi.

Gaughan has verbally committed to Boston College and Rossi has done the same with Akron.

Hopefully Nick can convince him to don the beautiful blue & gold as opposed to the fugly brown & orange. Come enjoy the Info, Julian!

Btw, the scout profile lists Campenni @ 6-0, 260 but the article lists him at a more formidable 6-1, 285.

I'm sure some would look at this as "poaching", but I hope the staff doesn't rule out anybody from here until

I like poaching better than losing.

Looks like the effort paid off for Ron Pawlus - good job.

Great news! Nice follow up, KentZip

Very good news, indeed! It's great to get another Big 33 player. I'm starting to get excited about this recruiting class. I haven't been excited about Zips football in what feels like an eternity.

I am getting a little excited too, blue&gold. Despite how the resident know it all naysayers blather on, this class is looking pretty good to me. Guess I am a "glass is half full" kinda guy. Go zips go.

I like his reasoning for choosing Akron. He looked beyond the coaching staff and chose where he would be happiest based on the university as a whole. He's smart to realize that the coaches/assistants might not be there by the time he graduates, for better or worse. That is true for any school that's recruiting a player, but most recruits don't seem to show that level of wisdom, instead falling for the hype.

Nice pickup. We need D-lineman.

Congratulations to the coaching staff for getting us some help on the D line. I have been skeptical of our coaching staff this year. But I will admit that they appear to be finding some talent to help us. Of course, we all need to reserve judgement for another two years to see if they can play at the level we need. Yet hope is an important quality to have in any program. After having it ripped from us with a 1-11 season, it is back when you look at our recruiting and that is very welcome. To Julian ... welcome to the Zips. It's never too early to learn and we will be .

Aaaaaaaand now he's going to UConn.

Channeling Vince Hill...are you there, Vince...?

I know it's a major part of the career they've chosen, but this is kind of stuff that would drive me crazy if I was in Powlus' shoes.

What comes around, goes around.
There should be a rule: WE are the only ones allowed to pursue the weak-minded.

We're used to being out-coached. This time, we were out-poached!

indeed. Very disappointing.

Obviously he kept looking for something better.
