Well, he’s been given a shot to win the QB job at two D1 schools now and he hasn’t done it yet.

Odd timing. Maybe he is just announcing his intentions because the portal doesn’t open again until April.

Does this mean he’s back?

Former 4 star player from Penn State that didn’t play much. Clearly talented so hopefully he can help

This was a fun changing timeline video but the site wouldn’t let me post it because the file was too big. So here’s a screenshot of the final count in 2024

I get the point but this is quite an exaggeration. So you’re saying a 3 star recruit should turn down a full D1 scholarship and head to D3/D2 or NAIA? That makes no sense. They have to have some confidence in their abilities and coaches to succeed at the D1 level. I’m sure there are plenty of players at the lower levels that have success but still never get that shot st D1

Anyone know when spring practice starts? Ends?

This conversation would be great coming from an AD….but we don’t have one

Like clockwork - the talk of Morehead to Ohio State talks again https://bvmsports.com/2025/02/03/top-5-ohio-state-offensive-coordinator-candidates-for-2025/

Not a very long list but congrats to those that did make it

I think the kangaroo is so unique as a logo that it should be shown somewhere, somehow

WTF? Still no AD hired? What the hell is going on?

Golden Nelson to West Virginia. So just off the top of my head we’ve lost players several P5 programs: West Virginia, Maryland, Oklahoma State, Purdue, Ole Miss . This begs the question did this team underperform based on the talent that was on the field? Is this a bad look for Joe?

Simmons to Ole Miss. https://www.on3.com/college/ole-miss-rebels/news/akron-michigan-state-transfer-rb-jordon-simmons-sign-with-ole-miss-out-of-transfer-portal/

So we’ve got about a week until classes start. Does anyone have an updated head count on how many are gone vs how many will be showing up for classes this semester? How many will be on the roster and/or dressed for spring practice?

Ok, I hate to be negative but let’s look at this (and most of these signings) realistically. This kid redshirted his freshman year and appeared in one game with no stats this year. He’s from Colorado, signed at Washington State and now transfers to Akron. I feel pretty confident that he is not coming to Akron because he has a lot of other options. Hope he pans out and becomes a great player but so many (not all!) kids are in the portal for a reason.

Who knows, but I wouldn’t get too overly excited. Was juco then appeared in two games and recorded no stats. At this point we’ll take what we can get

I believe after 3(?) overtime’s they put the ball at the 3 and they just trade turns going for 2 pt conversions, so the score changes by 2 pts each successful try.

Thought he may end up somewhere better than that - definitely better weather, but not sure what else makes that move worth it?

I know. BG is a more successful program historically but how it this going to be much different of an experience vs playing at Akron? Maybe he thought he would get better offers and had to settle here?

Don’t know but I know there are a limited amount of games that open on Thursday so I assume there is some type of decent TV coverage. My guess would be espn2 or espnU at best.

Saw something saying that the opening game in 2025 is home against Wyoming on Thursday night, August 28. Must have moved it from Saturday the 30th?
