Blue & Gold

Could you tell if he was upset at the whole squad, or just/mainly Riak. Riak’s head was still in halftime break to start the 2nd half. Groce lit in to him & put his butt on the bench. It was a good move. Riak came back in & had a really nice 2nd half. I always wanna see more fire in the belly with him. Maybe this summer he can watch some old video of Tree. Lol

He signed LB Jarred Uran and S Adetutu Daranijo. Two players I was excited about (OL Kobe Hilton & LB Max Wynn) signed with Miami-O. Two Akron East players I was excited about (DeeArius Reese & Kyre Williams) have academic issues. Bowden verbal QB Tyler Riddell signed with FCS ETSU.

Thanks for doing that, @bigjim. That's why I kept the original list mostly in tact. I was intending to do what you just did but hadn't yet made the time. I do know that, to put it mildly, other schools weren't exactly swooping in to try and "steal" most of our former verbals.

Oh, and btw, Massillon's Kyshad Mack really stood out on the field during the Hoban -v- Massillon game. He's a great athlete.

Thanks! Wonder what that means DeeArius Reese "Dual" signs with Ashland University and Iowa Western CC? Is that like a promise to attend Ashland after a year at Iowa Western? If he's going to Ashland, Lee Owens got a tough one. (He's better than DeAndre Brimage, IMHO.)

I'm really liking the looks of this class. The only thing lacking, IMHO, is a beefy DT. We were in the running for two good ones but one signed with Virginia Tech & the other signed with Houston. Here's an odd factoid: no Summit county players in this class. I'm still crossing my fingers for East's DeeArius Reese. He's the beefy DT we could really use, coming in at 6-2, 285. Word on the street is our two East recruits (DeeArius & Kyre Williams) may have some qualifying academic work they need to handle.

LB Julian Richardson has signed ??

Are we going to get a streamed press conference?

I just googled “Kevin Walls Westlake.” There wasn’t much on him from the typical recruiting sites, but the video that I saw was impressive.

LB Demetrick Watts has signed.

So has an absolute stud-looking 6-6 WR from Westlake named Kevin Walls. I saw the 6-6 WR from Massillon (Something Morgan) play a few times this year & Kevin Wall’s video blows him out of the water. Kevin is FAST & a legit WR, not just an athlete like the Massillon kid.

I’m on my phone, but Quevan Lawson has signed.

ABJ: Zips waste second-half energy, lose to Rockets UA can only blame their first-half play for this loss. Uninspired would be an adequate description; lackadaisical would be more honest. They displayed little energy and less interest in sharing the ball as they had only one assist in the first half.

Toward the beginning of the game I noticed Ivey did the same - bounce pass to a moving Riak in the lane; came to Riak around his knees. Turnover. Of course. Haven't we yet learned we can't do that?

Terrance Davis, WR, 6-3, 175, (4.5 40) Girard HS, Girard, OH

Definitely a PWO.

Initial post updated. Probably for the last time before tomorrow!

I like it. Building relationships w/in NEO.

I like OU's non-conference scheduling. There's only one almost-certain L (Penn State) in their foreseeable non-conference slate.

...

We lost out on DT Jamykal Neal to Houston.

5-11, 190 RB from Strongsville. Probably another PWO.
