Blue & Gold

We no longer have a roster spot available for him, do we? Maybe they made an exception for him? This ruling came so late in the game I'd have to assume there are a number of whatever-year-seniors in this position.

Very back row between Amani & Chabi - head peaking out between Cody & RJ.

💯💯 You saw my post before I was finished editing it. For RB Ronnie Taylor we beat out fellow G-5's & one P-4 (Kentucky).

Thanks to @Thomas Lower for finding these commits. Samuel McGrath is a 6-6, 290 OL for whom we beat out BUGS, Miami, Toledo, and UMass. Ronnie Taylor is a 6-0, 200 running back/DB/ATH for whom we beat out BUGS, Buffalo, James Madison, Kentucky, Marshall, Toledo, and UConn.

Sweet! Thanks for the heads up & welcome to ZipsNation! Tomorrow morning I'll search for more information on the mentioned players,

Last year Trevick averaged 18.9 points, 7.4 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 2.1 steals, and 2.4 blocked shots

Thanks to @Sergeant Zip for finding our first commit of 2027! This kid looks good! 6'8" & apparently often runs the point for his high school team Lima Shawnee. He had 39 points in his first 2 games of the season last year & had 27 vs. Lima Senior. He's a lefty who can hit the three. Welcome Trevick!

Trevick Bertke, G, 6-8, Shawnee HS, Lima, Ohio

What if we'd kick off the season v KSUcks... as a non-conference game? Then the conference game (2nd meeting) would be worth all the marbles as the official Wagon Wheel game? Play the game twice/year... one home & one away; one to kick off the season & the other (hopefully early) in the conference season.

We got the MAC 2026-27 Defensive POY 💪😤💪

Makes me more surprised & disappointed by Eric's departure.

As far as I'm aware Walsh Jesuit OL Owen Pelkowski is our first commit of '27 Owen also had offers from KSUcks, Miami(O), Illinois State, and Cornell

Personally, I like 3 games in three days & agree they shouldn't fix what's not broken. But wouldn't proponents of the move argue it gives more weight to the regular season (which really is a problem basketball - at all levels - struggles with) by rewarding the top two seeds?

That was pretty shocking. I guess the schools in the NBC (Northeastern Buckeye Conference) weren't allowed to simply vote Louisville out, so every other member school simultaneously exited the conference and then formed a brand new conference sans Louisville; The Eastern Buckeye Conference. 😂😭

Absolutely. In fact in 2010 they were amazing & made it to the state semifinals. I believe they had 3 seniors go D-1 off that team.

Props to him not just sipping martinis from the balcony of his beachfront condo like I probably would.

Isn't it amazing how much weight football carries? I used to work near Alliance. There's a school district called Marlington out there who was good in every sport - boys & girls soccer, volleyball, boys & girls basketball, wrestling, baseball, softball... but they're almost always bad in football... and the incredible gravity of football makes all the kids from Marlington think they go to a loser school. Football is certainly king.
