NCAA just announced they are suspending the FBS maximum signing limit of 25 players for the next 2 years. I suspect by the end of that time they’ll do away with it completely. This is great news for us as it’ll allow JoeMo to rapidly reshape the roster the way he wants it. This year the max was 32, but it was to revert back to 25 next year.

Agreed! I personally love the white! Not everyone's cup of tea, but I think its snazzy!

Top Drawer soccer(TDS) is reporting that the Zips have their first recruit from the class of 2023 https://www.topdrawersoccer.com/club-soccer-articles/sima-recruiting-roundup:-may-16-22_aid50813 Class of 2023 D Joshua Hardin (Colorado Rapids) committed to Akron. From my limited research, this is an outstanding recruit for the Zips. Young Mr. Hardin is rated 4 stars by TDS...and Joshua is the 53rd ranked player in TDS's class of 2023. Welcome Joshua Hardin to Zips Nation.

Now that’s an interesting offer. He’s limited as a runner, but he throws a nice ball, has excellent height for a QB, and plenty of arm strength. I like the offer, just surprised by it.

Just offered this QB. https://ualbanysports.com/sports/football/roster/jeff-undercuffler/8416

Grades were the first thing I thought of, but he must’ve gotten them in order by the end. My concern is if he has enough speed to cover players at this level. He clearly understands angles, comes down hill quickly, and is an explosive tackler. He also looks like he has the physical build to compete for early playing time. He’s similar to McCoy in how they play, but McCoy looks to have more speed on film. We wanted more LB help and now we have it. Two extremely physical freshmen LBs. We now have a pretty good idea the type of inside linebackers this staff is targeting. Im guessing we’ll see a few more scholarship players transfer out by the end of the month. I don’t think we are finished bringing in more players for this class.

Man, does Griffin look tough! I'm betting grades were his issue, as someone subtweeted this question to him after he tweeted about his offer from Akron:

LOVE the matte blue helmets!... but I also love the white... and I love the gold, which is classic. We need all three!!!

McCoy is the other LB we signed. 505 bench for an incoming freshman seems insane.
