Blue & Gold

Anyone know whether Cotton is playing tonight? If we want to beat Ball Sweat we're going to need more than 4 guys scoring.

Walk-on P/K, 6-0, 170, Greensburg Central Catholic HS, Greensburg, PA

Apparently I started this thread, so I'll be continually editing/updating the 1st post in this thread with our 2019 verbal commitments & 2018 non-qualifiers who will most likely be included in next year's signing class.

Apparently we can add Shedro Louis as another non-qualifier who will count toward the 2019 class.

Looks like Springfield LB Zach DiLauro will be a walk-on. 6-0, 215

Huh??

K/P

WR Timothy Scippio and S Adetutu Daranijo are both definitely signing with UA, but both are obviously non-qualifiers so won't be announced officially till next year. ^^Timothy Scippio ^^Adetutu Daranijo (check out the top-left picture of him signing his NLOI w/ his Zips hat on & note Jason Taylor in the background).

+1 +1 +1 +1

Must be a non-qualifier. I'm willing to wait a year for him; he's a safety who hits with bad, bad intentions

Ugh. He's going to be so out of game-shape and rusty.

Love it!

Walk on? 6-1, 215. Good size and this link states he runs a 4.45 40. From William Mason HS, which Google states is the largest HS in the state, so I assume he faced good HS competition.

So far today we've added Treon Sibley Bryce Peterson Abraham Alce. So, at the very least (?), we're still waiting on faxes from Landon Forman Adetutu Daranijo Tom Scippio

10:30 a.m. & we only have 3 letters in today. Due to weather, STVM put their Signing Day off till tomorrow. But I can't imagine any D-1 signees delaying their signing due to weather. I'm assuming STVM's Signing Day tomorrow must be lower-level athletes?

Even their inter webs name betrays their betrayal of being Akron-centric: Ohio dot com. Cleveland Plain Dealer's website = CLEVELAND dot com Canton Repository's website = CANTONrep dot com Akron Beacon's website = OHIO dot com Screw you, Ohio Beacon Journal... Again, where's the Beating-My-Head-Against-The-Brick-Wall emoticon?!

If I remember correctly, wasn't Antino hanging his head a lot by the end of last season? I think there were rumors of his imminent transfer while KD was still the Zips' coach.

Thaaaaaank you. I remember... oh, maybe 15 years ago... the AKRON Beacon Journal had a consultant come in & speak about the future of newspapers as media. They published at least one major story about his forecasting. The term he used over and over again was "hyper-local." And then... the AKRON Beacon Journal kept doing business as usual continuing their focus on Cleveland and Columbus. (Hmm, I can't seem to find the emoticon of the little fella beating his head against the brick wall. Too bad, because he would be pertinent right here.)

Hmm, the Akron Zips Football tweet has him listed at RB. He is listed at 6'0" tall, so I suppose that's a little short for a LB? But that gives us three 3-star RB's in this class alone. That's pretty crazy! Add Jemarulin Suggs & we're stacked like pancakes at RB. I'm still crossing my fingers for Marquise Bridges. He was a human highlight film at RB in high school, but I have a feeling we'd use him in the slot.

And let's not forget about LePear Toles! We should have excellent depth next season: PG: Cotton/Jackson W: Ivey/Hester/Parrish/Toles/Utomi/Patton P: Sayles/Riak/K-lac
