Blue & Gold

Tight End U.

Man, he’s tough. Played at East. But I thought he was still at BC. Like you mentioned, did he ever get to BC? We’d potentially be his third stop (red flag?) but he’s the real deal.

Initial post updated w/ Whigan & Clark.

At the very least.

In years past they've (sometimes?) had a Spring Game radio broadcast. I think they dropped that since Arth never had an actual scrimmage Spring Game. I don't exactly remember; that's been a while ago now. You'd think it'd be awfully simple to just stick a student in the press box & stream it on YouTube.

Some brutally honest quotes from DL coach Winston DeLattibourdere about how deficiently coached he thought our DL was last season.

I've heard/read Cam Wiley's name a handful of times now (articles, videos). There seems to be a little buzz about him. Saturday it'll be interesting to see if he lines up as our #1 RB.

If we were Malone or Walsh we'd be fine, but presently we only have 2 players on the team over 6'6"

I'm only familiar with Josh Chandler (McKinley) and Tre'Von Morgan (Massillon). I'd love to see us land Josh Chandler. I think I tagged one of the Zips coaches in a retweet from him when I saw he was entering the Portal. He's a good LB & I think would make an excellent MAC LB. Tre'Von Morgan, who originally signed with Michigan State, is... underwhelming. He's a physical specimen (6-6. 225?) but hasn't yet produced much between the lines. It was sort of the same way in high school; he was definitely recruited because of his potential, not because of actual on-field production. In high school he was clearly a man amongst boys, but he doesn't really have the greatest hands in the world. He would typically make one spectacular, eye-popping, highlight-film-making catch per game... but drop a couple easier catches. And he's a bit of a tweener - a little too big, i.e., not quite explosive enough, for WR and doesn't seem quite strong enough for TE (at the D-1 college level). Maybe he's added some weight. Idk. But either way, I like it when local products are on the team. Fun Fact on Tre'Von: his uncles (I believe that's the relation) played at Akron: Christian Morgan (6-4, 220) was a RB at Akron for one year and Marco Morgan (6-9) was a C/PF on the basketball team for two years. The genes in that family are obviously amazing. Bonus Fun Fact on Christian Morgan: man was I hyped when Lee Owens signed him. He's one of the most gorgeous athletes I've ever seen put pads on. I thought he'd be a 3-year All-MAC caliber player. But we also signed another RB that year out of the Pittsburgh area named Brandon Payne. End of story. Payne went on to become one of the greatest Zips RB of all time. (I think Christian also had academic issues as I don't believe he ever graduated.)

This is really what we probably need. In '19-'20 we had Cam Reece backing up Riak.

“The scheme that I come from is multiple enough that we can play with a four-man front or a three-man front and we’re just going to try to figure out what our guys do well,”...

...

I like this guy. He gives us another guard who can score "off the bounce," as the kids say. PG...Castenada..... Clarke..... Tavari G.....Hankerson..... Tribble.... Kobe G.... Dawson......... Johnson... Prather W.... Wynn............ ??? P.... Freeman....... Hunter And maybe we don't need another wing. We lost a wing in Ali, but as is our lineup now has the potential to mirror our MAC Championship '19-'20 team: PG: LCJ.......... Castenada G: Cheese.... Hankerson G: Banks....... Dawson S4: Williams.... Hunter P: Riak............ Freeman

99% sure just one.

He’s certainly not a wing at 6-2. We needed another G? I’m guessing he’s a good 3-point shooter but Idk.

On my phone but we got a Verbal from NIU’s Trendon Hankerson. Another intra-conference transfer. Weird. I’d he any good?

Still... need... a... wing...

@94zipgrad, any idea who the 7’1” guy was?
