His IG says he is announcing his commitment tomorrow at noon.

The offensive line last season was the most solid it has been in a long while. I know we had a lot of turnover at the position. Any word from coaches or eye ball test that would help you indicate how it appears?

I was able to attend today's scrimmage. Below are my notes. I will say - I am very excited for our offense! And I'm a very pessimistic guy who has soured on college sports in the NIL era. The Zips are legitimately 4-deep at WR, and have a QB that can get them the ball! Poffenbarger (#7) is the real deal. Based only upon today's scrimmage, he appears to be a poised version of Finley. His arm is "strong enough." His accuracy is excellent, but he doesn't seem to panic like Finley often did. He goes through his progressions and makes good decisions. Joey Castle looks to be the punter again Sean Patrick and Brandon Hills were the punt returners Poffenbarger got the starters reps. Ruggow was with the 2nd unit and Broughton was with the 3rd. Beals also got some PT and looks good for a guy who should be going to his high school prom next month Old friend and former Golden Gopher Marquise Williams busted a nice 30 yard TD. He played on the 2nd unit. Starting OL was 71(LT)/58(LG)/72(C)/52(RG)/50(RT) 83 and 84 got the bulk of the TE work #7 tossed a nice slant TD to Marcel Williams (#2) in tight coverage. Right on the money. Schramm had a so-so day kicking. Missed a 50 yarder badly to start the scrimmage. Nailed a 45 yarder with plenty of room to spare later in the day. Then missed a 35 yarder from the center of the field. Kyan Mason looks as good as ever. So glad he stayed. 2nd unit OL 57/70/62/58/75 Ruggow hit Jean Louis (#9)on a nice 25 yard slant. Overall, Ruggow has a decent day. #25 Chris Gee was present, but in a red jersey and didn't play. He looked to be in great shape. 1st Unit DL was: 16/5/97/10 2nd unit DL was: 90/52/51/50 Broughton hit Hills on a quick sideline pass that hills turned into a 40 yard scamper to the endzone. I look for Hills to have a big year. He had a standout scrimmage. Dwight Nonou and Israel Duncan got 1 team LB reps. Duncan (#92)is listed as a DE, but played LB. Reminds me a little of Dall. His hair is fantastic! #21 Catrell White dropped an INT from the hand of Poffenbarger. It was his one bad toss of the day...either that, or the receiver messed up his route. Who knows. First unit secondary appeared to be: 21/9/20/15/29 #81 Juke Sivon hauled in a 40 yard slant from Poffenbarger and took it to the house. Overall a great day for the WR's. Sivon is my "Sleeper of the Year".

I still find her performance to be more impressive than anything else I will see on a basketball court during the course of a game.

A little off topic but Akron favorite Red Panda was the halftime entertainment at today's Cavs/Raptors playoff game. https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/s/F3ulDLZaIx

That's not accurate, however, his shooting percentages aren't anything to be scared of.

I saw a comment that said he had more games shooting 0-7 from 3 than games he had making 2 threes.

We get to keep Dustin's kid as a manager for free! He played almost as many minutes as Connor.

Interesting final 3.

Wonder what’s it’s going to take to resign Conner Groce???

I guess DF can be credited for some fundraising indirectly..

That might be enough to cover the architectural drawings and permits. Maybe.

$350k after 5 years to put towards a new arena. That should cover most of it.

I agree. There does seem to be an uptick in international players so it's hard to get an idea of how good those players are so maybe there is an unknown gem there. The other transfers it's hard to get excited over anyone. As musical chairs starts to near an end and there are no seats left at these high major schools, I think you will see someone like UMass sign 1-2 high quality mid-major producers.

Thanks for sharing. It sounds like Ford signed a 5 year deal at $500K/yr. That's $350k less than what Groce was making, plus we received a $350K buyout from Groce leaving. Hopefully that money was mostly reinvested in the program. Whether it be assistant coach salaries, revenue share, travel, etc.

Yaak yaak - seems unlikely but ya never know

I'm not impressed by most MAC additions.

How does this compare around the MAC? Most MAC teams have been decimated by the portal and graduations.
