I don't know if this article on WR transfer Jonah Morris should go in this thread... ABJ: Hoban graduate Jonah Morris transfers from Indiana to UA; former Knights star ready to play WR for Zips The article says they still don't know whether he'll be granted a hardship waiver so he can play this year. States that coming out of HS he held scholarship offers from Indiana, Michigan State, Notre Dame, Wisconsin, Illinois, Minnesota, Kentucky, Pittsburgh, Kent State, BUGS, Miami-O, & UA.

I’ve had my fingers crossed for Deearius Reese for a year now. He’s a good one.

DANG. This guy's a true frosh who hasn't played a down yet (Keyondre White, RB, 5-10, 210). Gotta be a position record, right? Can't imagine a true frosh RB setting a team record.

^^On my phone, but it may be Max Wynn, a 6-2, 210 3-star LB from Centerville. Max has offers from, among others, Ohio, Toledo, Syracuse & Cincinnati.

Hmm... Must be LB?...

Currently holds offers from 16 schools

I updated the first post in this thread with a list of the players from whom we presently have verbals. I count eight current verbals from soon-to-be high school seniors. Additionally, we also have three non-qualifiers from last year's class who will count toward the 2019 class. So as of 6/22/18 we have 11 players for the 2019 class. And, yes, it's 8:50 on a Friday night and this is what I'm doing.

We apparently just landed a LB from Cincinnati. But I haven't figured out who yet.

In watching his highlight film I agree. I don't like his explosiveness (or lack thereof) off the ball. I do like how he can bend at the knees and hips - how low he gets his butt to the ground while in stance. I have a feeling the Zips' strength & conditioning staff's priority will be to get him down to around 305.

Big commit from Hoban

STVM combo guard Lunden McDay was offered.

Thanks, @zippy5. Here is Jalen's Hudl.com video. He's 6-0, 285 & hails from Detroit Central HS. His twitter bio says he was 1st Team All-State last year.

The plot thickens... One former player came to Dambrot’s defense, first via Facebook then directly to the Beacon Journal when reached via direct message on Twitter. Demetrius Treadwell started at power forward in 2013 and 2014 and has not spoken to Dambrot since leaving UA. “It’s not true,” Treadwell said of the accusation.

Thanks, Sarge. That story is actually by George Thomas & the ABJ. Both the ABJ & the Rep are now owned by Gate House Media & so share stories. The story's also running in the ABJ.

He's got so much potential. I was sorry to see him go.

No mentions yet of this on Duquesne's fan site.

I hope they'll play Spring Break ball somewhere warm with palm trees. I know Malone & Walsh do.

That seems like an awful lot of “ifs” to merely dream of one day maybe being “competitive.”
