As of 11:00 a.m.... WR Jalen Hooks DB Rich Hall OL R.J. Kelly DL Logan Hawkins OL Vincent Fonte OL Ben Phillis Still awaiting... RB Devanier Floyd ATH Daishawn Brimage WR Timothy Scippio ATH Te'Cory Tutson DT Ramon Fields S Gavin Blunt ATH Treon Sibley OL Ronald Beasley RB Keyondre White (who'd tweeted a couple times he's committing today)

I think that's what's happened to me. I see my Likes not showing.

@CDMac, let me see if I can get that to post...

Speaking of the beef eaters in the trenches...

Absolutely! Naturally, I get all excited about the skill position players, but the game's won & lost in the trenches!

Looks like I'm going to have to refine my working definition of "athlete."

Versus the Akron Football twitter feed as of 9:50 a.m.: UA Football twitter

Here's an Unpopular Opinion & I hope I'm not eaten by my own for expressing it: The problem isn't really Milwee's play calling. The problem is that the OL couldn't run block. At all. Just throwing that out there because I think if the OL could run block even a smidgeon, it would have made the play calling look a lot better.

Exactly. This is like Christmas morning - or a wedding day - to these young guys. Today is THE big deal. Look at Western Michigan's twitter: https://twitter.com/WMU_Football?lang=en Bowl game should have ZERO to do with this. A week or two ago UA should have had a tweet ready to go for every recruit so today they could just have some intern (or even the janitor) tweet it out when we receive the LOI. I'm certainly absolutely positive they will do this. There is absolutely positively no way conceivable that they wouldn't. Right? :/ (Btw, I know Gavin Blunt isn't signing till 2:30 this afternoon.)

Good find!! I know Jest will be back on campus in January. I suppose he'll participate in spring ball.

Link? Who's recruiting these guys for them?

Anyone know if there is going to be any Early Signing Day coverage on GoZips.com?

That was a highly unusual and highly annoying year

ABJ: Officially the starting quarterback and playing near home, Kato Nelso ready to lead Zips Looks like GT has a little repository of articles he wrote prior to going on vacation.

I like the FAU fellas here. They seem pretty cool & it's making me more excited for the game.

Click the link and what do ya know? A human interest story. How novel. Why, O why, have we been cursed with the bush league Akron Beacon Journal?
