Captain Kangaroo

Tonga, Weaver,La France and Chris Henderson!!

Thanks for taking the time to post the Valpo info!

Verbals or LOI's?

Ahhh....the prophesy is being fulfilled....

He's a non-qualifier. A school like K.e.n.t. has nothing to lose by taking him, but chances are he'll never see the playing field.

That's like the 4' 1" midget calling the 3' 11" midget "shorty."The MAC and the Horizon are both midgets. 14...18...who cares. You guys have Butler, and we have Eastern Michigan. Swap them and see where the RPI would pan-out.

Alexander is in. I'm guessing the west coast guys will come in a little later.

Petrides is in.

Why would I re-list verbals?

Verbals received thusfar (10am) include:NicelyGreenwoodDillardProctorWilliamsVidovicHomayedAndersonFraleyDelmonicoHouserRootFrieson

Being that the Horizon League's RPI is 11 and the MAC's is 18, I don't think we need an apologist!Take away Butler and where is the Horizon? That's like Hartwick bragging about the MAC Soccer RPI. Valpo is a remora on the shark's belly.If the Zips were 6-16, I wouldn't be running any smack.

Looks like we'll have a private room for the video and some food vouchers. Guest appearances also appear to be lining up ok. It could be a train wreck, but I think it is going to come together nicely. Thanks to JohnnyZip 84!

Has anyone picked up on the fact that Henderson is from the same school as LeSean McCoy? Could it be the irony of all ironies? :blink:

Until now, all I could gather is he is a defensive player. I now know he's not a defensive secondary player. It is either LB or DL. There is a connection to the Big East, but I hear conflicting stories whether he's an existing BE commit who's de-commiting. Or a still-uncommitted player who's on a BE school's offer list.Allegedly more stars than even the most pretentious sneech.

Zeke was in town. I stood on his shoulders and snapped the shot.

Huge file. Dated January 25th.

I am told they will be on GoZips.com. If they aren't, we should be able to post them here.

OBC @ 6:30pm on Wednesday it is! Details will follow.Johnny Z - if you could put in a word tomorrow night w/ the owner it would be appreciated.

For the record - I'm pretty ecstatic a 6' 4", 285lb Rivals 3-star DL is coming to UA. I would ask everyone to keep in mind this page is highly visible to everyone, including recruits. Please do your best to represent UA in the most positive light. Especially now.

In the past, the University had made a nice event out of National Letter of Intent Day. Fans could attend, watch the videos and ask questions to the staff. Last year they nixed it, which sucked. I am told the nixing is permanent.I may have the ability to procure a CD with the individual player’s recruiting videos. If I can do so, would anyone want to have a Signing Day Film Viewing at one of the downtown establishments like The Barley House or Ohio Brewing Company? If one of them would allow us to play the video on a big screen or two, I would be happy to throw some business their way. Maybe we can get some cheap appetizers or beers too?I couldn’t make it down town until 6:30pm. We could start soon thereafter.Who knows…maybe a “guest speaker” or two might show up? I’ve never been to either establishment, so any input on which would be more Zips-friendly would be appreciated. I’ll need to make the reservations by noon tomorrow.

Did you see the Steelers' offensive line this season? It was TERRIBLE. Regarding the defense - Great teams have other guys that help win championships. It isn't all the QB. Can you take anything away from a Championship QB because he had a great defense to go with him? Some guys are just winners. 60 minute games often come down to 1 or 2 critical plays. I've watched Roethlisberger play for 10 years. He has an uncanny knack for being on the positive end of most of those plays. He's a winner. Simple as that.If Chris Jacquemain had that same knack...we'd have been 9-3 this year.

2009 - February 1 Recruiting Master Sheet

It's almost 8:00 p.m. Are you still out there CK?!Sorry...basketball game put me in a coma yesterday. I'm just now emerging from it.I don't know the names. I do know it is defense.

I was able to get a lot of info last night, but probably won't be able to post it until later this evening. I'm running out the door to take the kid to swim lessons, then it's off to the hoops game @ noon.Two updates - Pierre Carter and Deonte Ball are off the list. No one "stole" them...they just screwed things up for themselves.One or two "big names" will be added soon. Everyone will be happy.

I think we'll give Penn State a very good game this September.The 70-24 Lee Owens beatdowns will have the same effect on this year's Penn State football game as Toledo's basketball victories over Dan Hipsher affected our game against the Rockets Wednesday.
