That is his active twitter account.

Not true. Friends in San Francisco & San Diego. Companies often recruit UA grads.

The University of Akron.

Well, if he signs with Robert Morris I won't be too disappointed about him not playing here (no offense to Robert Morris). But I still think he's a little better than that & could help us out at this level. But, like I've mentioned, Im biased toward the local products.

Ohio North-South All-Star Classic / D-1-3 North roster The Zippers are very well represented on the North D-1-3 roster in the upcoming Ohio North-South All-Star Football Classic. Marquise Bridges (Ellet) Tracy Jordan (Springfield) De'Andre Brimage (East) Reggie Corner Jr. (McKinley) Marquess Callaway (East) Bubba Arslanian (Aurora) And I'm also quite sure East's Jemarulin Suggs is on the team even though I don't see him listed here. I don't believe we've ever had 7 players on this prestigious team before. TB's cranking it up.

LOI Signing Day is Wednesday.

Agreed. The only high school player I'm interested in at this point is Trotwood-Madison PG Torrey Patton. He is a 6'4" PG who was the D-2 Ohio co-POY (along w/ Jayvon Graves). But even he gives me cause for concern as to why he wasn't more highly recruited. Is he slow? Other coaches don't think his skill set will transfer to the D-1 level? Idk. Still keeping my fingers crossed for LePear Toles.

+1. 'Tino should have been the #1 PG playing 30 minutes per game last year.

In 20 years the kids are going to be saying, "Tell me about cable tv, grandpa."

I thought 'Tino turned into the much better player but KD was infatuated w/ Noah. During Noah's freshman season I was too. I'd never seen a true freshman PG come in and have such command of the game. Unfortunately, I don't think Noah was ever half the player he was as a freshman after suffering that knee injury. If given the choice between the two I'd pick 'Tino. Especially if Coach Groce wants to pressure & run. Not a style seemingly fit for Noah's game, but perfect for 'Tino.

More Rubber Bowl! More Rubber Bowl! It’s getting very late in the game for the Rubber Bowl to make a comeback.

Now Coach Groce can tell Antino he'd have the keys to the team. No more being underutilized while playing 2nd fiddle to Noah.

Well, it sure ain't Dr. Z quality, but here are a handful of pictures from a recent scrimmage.

GT's written a nice article addressing Zach's (and one other's?) concerns over a few of Coach Groce's players' off-court issues.

Good point.

+1. It's great just being included in an article alongside the rest of those schools on that list.

This is where I'm at. As a Zips fan, for years I've thought I could die happy if I live to see the football team ranked in the Top 25 and our basketball team make the Sweet Sixteen.

The scholarship players sign to re-up their scholarships on a yearly basis?

I hope Coach Groce feels ZERO pressure to keep the 21-win streak going. I want our team to grow with a more challenging non-conference schedule.

+1. Listen whenever I am able.

I'm absolutely loving me some Jimond Ivey right now. The way things are shaping up he's going to be on my personal very-short-list of all-time favorite Zips.

Yes. 1350.
