Heard through the grapevine- Lingard looks to be a significant upgrade to the RB position. Very fast, North/South runner. Strong too. Wasel looks to be as good as advertised. He makes the expected Freshman mistakes but he has all the tools. Dakota Thomas is turning heads at WR. He’s been a very pleasant surprise. I know it isn’t much. Hope to get more tomorrow.

Zips Nation kicked some ass! Over $200k collectively for all of the programs.

It’s really frustrating. This program is invisible to The Akron Beacon Journal but in addition, very little media is generated internally from the program. Maybe they just don’t have the resources? But having said that, they could do interviews with an iPhone. 😡

He's from a small high school, but they've had pretty good offenses. I believe Division V or VI. Our local high school played them a couple times over the past few years and we're Division VI.

Here’s his practice film. At the very least, he looks better than a couple guys that have moved on since JoeMo’s arrival. Sorry, didn’t mean to respond twice. Meant to edit. User error.

Akron coaching staff at work this weekend. One Akron coach sighting at the Cincinnati Clash (among others)

Here are the updated HS/JUCO rankings at Rivals. The majority of players that still need ratings at this point are JUCOs. I know we still aren’t done with 2023, but how is everyone feeling now? Im in the process of going back in the system and updating previous years for comparison, but keeping track of all the current movement has taken up most of my free time. Forgot to add that these rankings still include some verbal commitments that will not sign with their respective teams. So the rankings may change some in the coming weeks.

Her sister Jamisyn was offered by them a few weeks ago, so they'll likely be together.

"Halligan enjoyed a standout senior basketball season at Walsh Jesuit and has committed to play at the University of Akron as a walk-on player who will have an academic scholarship." Uh Oh, another Academic Scholarship Walk-on. The MAC is not ready! https://www.beaconjournal.com/story/sports/high-school/basketball/2023/04/20/zach-halligan-college-basketball-recruiting-ameer-yasin-college-football-recruiting-akron-zips/70120011007/

Crazy to see Swimming and Diving, and Baseball out-pace Football donations? Thankfully Matt Kaulig stepped up with a 10k donation. I guess there are other avenues to donate, so Football is getting some money elsewhere? Basketball only made it 1/2 way? Kudos to the Soccer donors! And to everyone who donated...for a MAC Athletic Dept, $211,000 is nothing to sneeze at! Totals

New coach named today at CMU. They even had a press conference. 😉 https://www.detroitnews.com/story/sports/college/2023/04/20/kristin-haynie-central-michigan-chippewas-womens-basketball-coach/70133738007/

Love the Finnish. very happy people

6'5" center transfer from Illinois.

https://www.espn.com/espn/feature/story/_/page/bracketology/ncaa-bracketology-2024-march-madness-men-field-predictions Kent lands a huge transfer who shot 32% from the floor for a sub-300 MAC team, and it propels them into the projected 2024 tournament field, booting the Zips. How will we ever recover? I've had about enough of this John Groce character.

On my phone so can’t post tweet, but Lanae Riley is transferring home! #GoZips

Freeman is going to have to work on his jump shot to be able to have any shot at getting drafted - whether it's this year or next year. Imagine him consistently hitting from 18+ ft.

You should shop around for another bank.
