I believe New Albany is ranked in the top 20 nationally by USCA. Cleveland St Ignatius is top 5.

2 of the Zips 2026 recruits are mentioned in this article from the Columbus Dispatch. https://www.dispatch.com/story/sports/high-school/soccer/2025/10/08/ohio-high-school-boys-soccer-player-of-year-vote-columbus-ohsaa/86358155007/ Cal DeWalt, Dublin Jerome A senior center back and leader of the Celtics’ stout defense, the Akron commit has contributed to eight shutouts and assisted one goal. Jerome is 6-0-2 in its eight shutouts. Londen Sears, New Albany A senior forward and midfielder who has committed to Akron, Sears has 11 goals and 12 assists for an Eagles team that is ranked first statewide in Division II, second regardless of division and is top-seeded in the district in pursuit of its second consecutive state championship.

The Zips football team seems to be only program in college athletics that has any sort of academic standard held against them in the year of 2025.

I found and bought Huggins' book "Pressed for Success" at a Goodwill the other day. It's an interesting read for Zips fans.

I'm not subscribed to the Ohio State Golden Flashes Beacon Journal, but this quote is certainly something from PCCC's press release. "When we came back to campus this fall, we saw a real need for help in the backcourt and were fortunate that through our contacts to find that [heck of a job on the grammar and proof reading, PCCC] Omer was available and wanted to come to the United States for college," said coach Senderoff. What a vote of confidence that is for the pre-existing backcourt. 22 year old freshman with very limited pro experience. He played in the Israel-Winner League last year: Games - 14 Minutes Per Game - 3.4 Points Per Game - 0.6 Total Points Scored - 6 2P - 1/6 (16.7%) 3P - 1/6 (16.7%) 6'3" is decent size, but if these stats are supposed to be a big improvement to what they think they already have, ooooooof.

Me too. He's in their online roster.

Possibly ESPN+ and CBSSN haven't yet determined who gets some of those MAC games. The Wikipedia Zips page does have ESPN+ for the Ball State game.

Side note: There is no tv listed on GoZips.com for either the Ball State game or the Buffalo game. Anyone know what's up w/ that?

nah - remember when Matt Leinart took ballroom dancing his last semester?

I guess I'm just more puzzled on how this is going to work. The fall semester started ~7 weeks ago. Is he just taking a few 1/2 semester courses to eligible for this fall (is that even an option) or is he just joining the team for the spring semester?

Wednesday October 8 VCU gets an impressive 2-1 road win over number 24 George Mason Western Michigan 2 Detroit 1 St. Louis 2 George Washington 0 Creighton 1 Missouri State 0

This same story could have been written 30 years ago about someone else. The guy has zero big game wins. He can still beat Illinois and Rutgers if he spends a few less hours sitting around the football complex.

Last I checked, you have to be enrolled as a full time student in order to be play sports. What am I missing?? https://x.com/joel_haas1/status/1975926830029803852?s=46&t=9-fcK7Vn9q6OYAnLHpOI3A

I thought I saw a commit on socials somewhere, but I can’t find it now. Anybody else see anything?

They are brining in a guard from Israel- https://www.beaconjournal.com/story/sports/college/kent-state/2025/10/08/omer-hamama-kent-state-university-mens-basketball-team-ncaa-signs-grant-in-aid-agreement/86588319007/?tbref=hp

Bold strategy given their recent success, or lack thereof, with freshman. They had one quit the team last year before the season started. Can't remember the last standout freshman at PCCC. Good call on UMass. I don't care about their down years in the A10 recently. They have more money than anyone in the MAC, a better coach than anyone in the MAC not named John Groce and maybe Travis Steele, and the MAC is a significant step down from the A10 after the first few teams.

Added Will Meyer, USL Championship, Rhode Island FC and Mani Austmann, Europe, Fylkir Reyjavik (per @TennZip) to my September 29 post above.

Miami Fan Site (not much going on there)

Sad news (for us fans) Darlington (among other future pros) was in college the same time I was and I followed his college and pro career. It’s a sad day for us fans, but he’s ready for the next step. Retirement. Congratulations on an awesome career.

I think this is BG's year. Somebody had to say it! 🤣

Senior Day is already upon us …

Need to get back in the win column

Note that this game kicks off at 6 pm ET.
