LZip, thank you for compiling this scholarship offer information.  Just an FYI for everyone, I've been continually updating the first post in this thread with current information so our entire recruiting class is listed in Post #1.  @LZIp, I hadn't included the players' other scholarship offers, but I'll add that information now.  I'm not trying to steal your thunder!  Hopefully it will just be easier to find the information if I include it in Post #1.  So thank you for putting this information together, brother!

All yours buddy. Your breakdown is more informative than mine, so I'll let you own that. I'll just keep you in line ;)

Breakdown:

This brings the '18 class to 22 players, broken down as such:

15 high school seniors

4 non-qualifiers from last season (WR Treon Sibley, WR Timothy Scippio, WR Shedro Louis, & S Adetutu Daranijo)

2 transfers (DE Walter Brady, WR Jonah Morris - both of whom are eligible to play this season)

1 former walk-on who's earned a full-ride (Cameron Lyons)

 

Position Breakdown:

Offense:

OL: 3 (Kobe Hilton, Tyler Connolly, Jaison Williams)

TE: 1 (Quan Easterling)

RB: 1 (Sonny Ray Jones, Jr.)

WR: 4 (Treon Sibley, Timothy Scippio, Shedro Louis, Jonah Morris)

LB: 2 (Jarred Uran, Max Wynn)

DB: 4 (Kyre Williams, Chris McDonald, Adetutu Daranijo, Jesus Santiago)

 

Special Teams:

LS: 1 (Cameron Lyons)

 

OK, I'm confused.  Seems like the 2 transfers who can play this year and the walk-on turned scholarship player should be a part of the 2018 class, but it seems like the rest of them should be in the 2019 class.

You're spot on, 'Meister.  I included those players because they'll be taking 3 scholarships that weren't given out last year & could have potentially gone to incoming high school seniors.  But those three players certainly won't be included in the Signing Day press release in February (or whenever they do that now).  So my post is definitely off.  I'll correct it.  Thanks!

Windham's Phillip Maiorca

 

From a small school, and small-sized. Probably a long shot to be a Zip, but he's on the radar.

 

Article #1

 

Article #2

I think the Zips would do well to have a guy or two like this in their program. he seems like an extremely hard worker and that effort, even if he never sees the field or plays late in lopsided games,  can certainly push those ahead of him on the depth chart. It sounds like his biggest hinderance is size and if he was to be a running back sometimes those little guys are what is needed to slip between those big uglies undetected.

Plus being from Windham his being on the team would probably bring a good handful of fans from that community to a lot of games. Local connections, especially to local communities that support local teams well,  are important when attendance is struggling.

I am obviously no expert on this type of thing but I like to see hard workers get a chance and I think sometimes when choosing well taking a flyer on someone can provide great dividends. Who knows how it would work out if he ended up a Zip?

I saw Will King play Friday night. He stands out on the high school football field due to his height. He seems really quick and athletic. he could probably use some filling out as he just seemed to have somewhat thin, albeit tall, frame.  In the game I attended he didn't make a ton of plays on the ball carrier but the opponent was clearly not running plays in his direction. When he did get a chance to make a play, though, he always successfully did so. King did, however, pick up one personal foul for continuing a tackle that started in bounds but ended up clearly out of bounds. He just didn't disengage soon enough.
