UT’s offense can put up points in a hurry. It’s not a complicated offense, but they move very quickly and put a lot of pressure on the middle of the field - in particular the linebackers and safeties. If we’re not disciplined, the game could turn ugly in a hurry. If we can get through MSU, UT, and Liberty fairly healthy we should have a chance to win every game in the MAC. I’m not saying we will win every game, but with the influx of talent to the roster, I don’t see any reason why we won’t be competitive in every MAC game.

One of those where the physical talent is there, but the rest isn’t clicking. I’m sure there are more to come as I believe 5/1 is the cutoff date for portal entries, unless they want to sit a year.

Woobendy Guerrier hit the portal. Too bad as I thought he might eventually push for starting minutes.

I emailed one of the coaches to see if the game would be televised or streamed. Unfortunately, the answer was no.

It’s incredible what JoeMo is doing. Jim Mora is doing something similar at UCONN. Don Brown at UMASS has probably brought in the least amount of talent as far as new head coaches go for 2022. I suspect another QB will be brought in before it’s all said and done. Players are piling into the portal this month as spring ball wraps up across college football.

Not a knock on either one of those guys. I’m excited to see how both continue to develop. It was more of a compliment to George and what he could potentially bring to the table.

Yep! Talent wise, he’s now the most talented WR on the roster. Let’s hope the staff brings out the best in George and Adams. They could be dynamic.

Great job!!

When in doubt, check Twitter. Haha. Looks like Stallworth and Keylen Davis are still in this class, but were not early enrollees.

All of them, so far.

In the past he hasn’t used much FB. He mostly stays in the 11 personnel - meaning 1 TE and 1 RB. He’ll move the TE all over the field though. The TE may be in-line, set as a wing, split-end, or in the slot. Occasionally Moorhead will run 2 TE sets, but that’s not the norm for his offense.

Thanks. Added. Portal activity has picked up the pace again and it’s hard to keep up.

That’s a great question and one I’m not sure about. @LZIp has a running tracker, but it’s hard to know which former walk-ons are now on scholarship. There is an 85 scholarship limit for 2022 and we can bring in 32 players on scholarship for this year’s recruiting class. Probably means we will have some players transfer out soon.

Did Stallworth make it in with this class? Not sure how I missed him.

We haven’t heard much about him, but Quevan Lawson physically looks the part from that short clip. I love the way Ty Durant stayed with the play. That was impressive hand-eye coordination on display.

Bump for the addition of Whigan.

Sorry, this should have been under the 2022 thread. I got a little too ahead of myself due to my excitement.

What a massive pickup! He’s an athlete playing on the OL and can play anywhere on the OL. He’ll have 1 year of eligibility left. It all starts up front and the Zips are going to surprise a lot of people this year.

Add OL Anthony Whigan to the committed list. Edit - He entered in January, but his commitment bumped his activity to today. Either way, great pickup!

Bump for addition of Nate Thompson.

There have been multiple comments from this staff implying that the previous coaching staff did a poor job or had the players inefficiently conditioned. Can’t really argue that if solely going off the team stats or overall record, but not everything done by the previous staff was poor. I hope this staff - and I think they will - backs up this talk with excellent play in the field. I was going to adjust my thoughts accordingly on a 4 man front scheme, but this is the second article I’ve seen mention a “multiple” front, so I guess I’ll wait and see. Sounds like they still don’t know for sure and are letting what the players do best dictate what will be ran.

Agreed. It seems like every video clip that’s been produced has Wiley in there somewhere. From all the reactions on twitter and the types of recruits that are visiting, it’s clear that Moorhead has something brewing. I’m trying to find a way to make it to the SG, but I don’t know if it’ll happen. I sent a message to the official twitter account if the game would be televised or streamed by the school, but haven’t received a response. I’m going to email someone in the athletics department the same question. If smaller DII schools can stream games, it would seem like Akron would as well.

Bump for the addition of Price.

Thanks. Edited with his addition.

Kylon Wilson was on campus. I’m not sure if we’ve offered, but I suspect we will. HS highlights are below. He’s a smaller player, but he’s a playmaker.. https://www.hudl.com/video/3/12905534/61adce44ab920a0830969d0d Jean Louis III was also on campus. No offered listed yet, but one is probably coming. HS highlights are below. https://www.hudl.com/video/3/14439802/6151a9e9479826088cc6e276 Darius Whiteside II was on campus last week and has an Akron offer. https://www.hudl.com/video/3/12842167/618fee97b3c87201448e9ac9 Michael Kilbane was also on campus last week and has an offer, but we have some serious competition. He already has 11 Power 5 offers and 22 total according to Rivals. https://www.hudl.com/video/3/13111868/61744021386df7012c82faab Jake Cook was also in, who we’ve offered, but he’s a rising sophomore. If I were a betting man I’d bet he will see some Power 5 offers soon. https://www.hudl.com/video/3/16071032/617d9518041e480cacf231c2 Marcus Moore Jr was on campus with some teammates. He has an Akron offer. https://www.hudl.com/video/3/15582505/61375f08e97ac2057491415e Andrew Marshall was also on campus. He has an Akron offer. Listed as WR and OLB, but he’ll be a linebacker. https://www.hudl.com/video/3/12911769/61a54636f5600308e4ba437b
