For those who are curious, a quote from the site- Established in 2023, the Summit Circle recognizes those that make a financial investment of $25,000 or more, in addition to their ticket donations, to Akron Athletics. Investors in the Summit Circle make multi-year pledges that are crucial to the long-term financial success of our athletics program. Kudos to the Groces for doing this. This is something every coach who makes big money from the school should do. I promise to be a Summit Circle member when the university pays me $650K.

Kaulig...Wentz...NWAkron...kreed5120...Captain Kangaroo...Let'sGoZips94...Blue & Gold...all the high rollers.

Amen, between that and his kid being on the team we have reason to be encouraged.

For most of us it would be a donation. Fans and boosters really don't see any returns if they give money. Maybe a few perks and a social media post. But for Groce it's more of an investment. Any money he puts into the program is going to make it better, the team will win and he will be paid accordingly. It's a great gesture and very smart of them to give back. Hopefully this means he's here to stay for a long time.

I have us with 2-3 open schollies (depending on if a PK is put on scholly) based on the information that has been made publicly available. I have to think a QB and RB are top priorities to ensure appropriate depth. At QB, you have Finley, a gadget QB, and then a true freshman. We had 5 scholarship QBs last year for what its worth. At RB, I think Simmons is the starter right now with Kellom #2 getting a fair share of carries. After that, Marquese Williams and Sean Patrick are both young and small. I would not count on either of them getting a heavy workload if Simmons or Kellom were to get banged up.

But also 4 yrs of eligibility left where we only had Shocky for 1 yr.

Below is a list of all the outgoing transfers since Moorhead’s arrival. An * has been placed beside players that Moorhead’s staff brought in. Only scholarship players are listed as I did not include the high amount of walk-ons that have left the team. QB: Joey Marousek = DII Ryan Jankowski = UMASS *Dijon Jennings = Weber State *Steele Wasel = Oklahoma RB: Jonzell Norrills = DII *Cam Wiley = DII *Anthony Stallworth = N/A *CJ Price = Jackson State Blake Hester = DII WR: Anthony Williams = Alcorn State (Started 2 games and played in 7) Jasaiah Gathings = UCONN *Caleb Anderson = Alcorn State Oran Singleton = JUCO - Eastern Michigan *Dakota Thomas = JUCO - Southern Miss TE: Tristan Brank = Retired *Caden Clark = Retired Brycen Yarmo = DII *Marquell Darnell = N/A Nik Ognenovic = N/A OL: Xavier Gray = Liberty (Started and played in 14 games) *Max Banes = Houston (Started 1 game and played in 8 ) Jordan Daniels = Charlotte (Started 4 games and played in 5) - Western Carolina Owen Murphy = East Carolina (Started 9 games and played in 11) Ryan Beckman = East Carolina (Played in 2 games) *Ka’Marii Landers = JUCO - Baylor *Jourden Hale-Frater = JUCO Ronan Chambers = Auburn Nate Williams = San Diego State Alex Robarge = Southern Illinois Tony Georges = Kent State Brian Kilbane = N/A Caleb Herring = N/A DL: Curtis Fann = Western Carolina (Played in 10 games) Bryce Wilson = Western Carolina (Played in 9 games) Nazir Sy = Northwestern State (Started and played in 6 games) Ryan Johnson = Southern Miss *Antonio Smith = DII *Kyle Thomas = DII Janirr Wade = JUCO - N/A David Hooks = N/A Julian Richardson = N/A *Devon Robinson = N/A LB: Jeslord Boateng = Louisiana Tech (Started 11 games and played in 12) Luke Bauer = Morehead State (Started 8 games and played in 11) *Jaharon Griffin = Alcorn State Andrew Behm = Southern Illinois Connor Francz = DII Ryan McClain = N/A Juan Jarrett = N/A Reggie Corner = N/A Yveny Petithomme = N/A DB: Charles Amankwaa = Rutgers (Played in 1 game) Ronald Jackson = Montana (Started 3 games and played in 15) Tyson Durant = Washington State Corey Thomas = Virginia Rishad Hence = Eastern Kentucky *KJ Martin = NC State *Jaden Woods = East Tennessee State Adetutu Daranijo = N/A Chu Ogbonna = N/A Woobendy Guerrier = N/A Randy Cochran = N/A MyJaden Horton = N/A *Cam Threatt = N/A

Trust me, if I were a high roller, I'd have a t-shirt cannon promo at every game just for NWAkron. I can't think of a single thing that would be a better use of my money/donor money.

Not that I am aware of. However, the Simmons, Williams, and Finely commitments we received this year did not have offers announced ahead of time if I recall correctly. We had added a WR and DL this cycle, and may have more schollies available than known.

Who are the 9 that were before him?

I'm thinking this article will not be well-received by ZipsNation. LOL. https://sports.yahoo.com/case-end-college-football-123000337.html

Best wishes to Gyuwon Chong. 😔

Chris pitched 7 shutout innings spacing out 5 hits to (hopefully) take the win. His record should be 4-6 after tonight.

I'm moving from Wilmington, NC to Delaware next week. I think I'll actually be able to watch the Zips play at Georgetown! It's been a few years since I've gotten to watch them.

Sounds like baseball has a good financial backing.
