anyone know when fall camps starts?

Obv a degree from Akron is nothing to write home about, but my degree has done me very well. Then again, I chose a major that has some demand, so your mileage may vary.

Looks like he's ours judging by twitter.

"The team includes some recognizable names to area high school and college basketball fans. Former LeBron James St. Vincent-St. Mary teammates Dru Joyce III and Romeo Travis join other ex-University of Akron players Nick Harney and Demetrius Treadwell on the team." https://www.cantonrep.com/sports/20190701/michael-porrini-unites-mac-alums-for-basketball-tournament

Agree with you here..Cheese or LCJ. Cheese finished the season strong and if LCJ can put it together on a more consistent basis, he could be that guy as well. Xeryius would be my sleeper to throw in.

And another! Can't post right now as I'm on work computer, but Deacon Allen (OL) out of Rockmart, GA.

Has good size, is athletic, and seems to be an accurate passer. Also had an offer from Buffalo.

Sayles for sure. My guess is he is talking about Poke as well, even though we already knew he was transferring. I don't recall if we were excluding him in our scholarship count or not....Of course its always possible a freshman recruit in this year's class is going to greyshirt or did not qualify as well.

Initial thought - I'd be in favor of adding UCONN (and even UMASS) for football only, but they need to bring something to us. Guaranteed scheduling of MAC opponents in OOC basketball (both men's and women's) that includes games at MAC sites. Something like 3/year with match-ups dependent upon conference preseason top 3 picks or something along those lines.

If I were a betting man, I think we'll get a commit from this player this weekend on his official visit. Curious to what we are recruiting him as. He is listed as an OLB on 247, but all of his hudl film is on offense. I wonder if we a recruiting him on the opposite side of the ball as KSU is, since you'd think they would naturally be the favorite. https://247sports.com/Player/Isiah-Childs-46085263/

Speaking of the roster, I've updated the chart (except for assumed walk-ons) based on everything we know and it seems like we have 4 open scholly's. The program now announcing walk ons that get put on scholarship (see Muldowney and Boogie - though I/we already guessed that was going to happen) makes this a little easier and more accurate. I hope there are some transfers with immediate eligibility in the pipeline to supplement holes on this year's team. Note - Wooldridge is on here for now as he is still listed on the roster. 94zipgrad may know something we don't, though. I finally got around to updating the colors on it as well 😀 Zips Football Scholarship Chart.xlsx

That is a big boy! Bulley is a fitting last name.

Torrey must like Northeast Ohio!
