Weather forced the Zips to warmup inside before taking the field today. Coach Hickson keeps a watchful eye, as Deltron Sands gets some work in. Travonte Junius hits the sled. Alex and Tyler bring an attitude to practice. Coach Ekkens puts his offensive line through drills. Jovann Letuli practices a technique drill. Coach Milwee looks on as Kato throws an out pattern. Josh Ward practices his get off on the right side of the line. Manny Morgan pulls in a one hand grab. Warren ball focuses on ball security. Anthony Young brings in a Kato Nelson pass Alex Ramart warms up with Nick Johns.

Young has been injured most of his time with Akron. Why do I think he may have a big year - he is a senior and time paid for playing football may be possible with a big 2017 season as a Zip. Who is our best potential receiver? - Austin Wolf. I think Wolf can play in the NFL.

Thanks @Dr Z - stellar, as usual. I am a sucker for a wide angle shot, so I love the last one.

I liked your post, even though you all know how much I begged for Keith to challenge so many of his Akron teams during the OOC portion of the schedule. There's certainly a time to go weak in the OOC. Limited personnel and a tough conference schedule this year makes sense. If his teams over there ever get really good and/or the conference gets softer, I will call him out again for not challenging his team. And if we get back to top form, and start rolling in a weak MAC, I'll certainly jump on our own lack of a strong OOC to challenge our own guys too.

Who cares about KD or where he is at now. Past history, let's worry about ZIPS

To be fair they are coming off a 10-22 season and, due to so many transfers, will be rolling with 9 scholarship players in year one. Couple those factors along with what will be a tough conference schedule and it makes a ton of sense to schedule a weak non-conference slate this year.

This will give you an inside look into all of our staff developments on sports science, strength and conditioning, leadership, finance, guest appearances and so much more!
