Blue & Gold

No, my bad; Bridges still just an offer.

Zach, could you update our running total & add Marquis Bridges (RB/DB, Ellet) & Marquess Callaway (CB, East) to the list?

Excellent. These are the player we need to keep home. I don't remember a Zips' recruiting class start filling up so early.

Newman Williams a 3rd-string TE? We need to find a way to get him on the field. LB? DT?

TW13 named to preseason Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award Watch List http://www.cantonrep.com/sports/20160804/akron-qb-named-to-unitas-watch-list Edit: should have put this under the TW13 thread.

Beautiful.

His improved height profile can be noticed sitting courtside and he said that he’s grown an inch-and-half."

Very clean and sharp design. I like.

http://www.cantonrep.com/sports/20160726/kent-state-mens-basketball-team-to-play-at-oregon-state-texas K.e.nt's hitting the road for games against the Oregon State Beavers and the Texas Longhorns. Good for them and their fans.

Reminds me of a tweet I saw a few years ago from a reporter at a Miami game. It read, "There are hundreds of people at the Hurricanes game today."

This is an interesting thought. I've thought for a while the MAC might be wise to invite James Madison, Old Dominion, and Marshall. Maybe Northern Kentucky & Charlotte. I'd bet they'd all at least pick up the phone.

Any specific time slot?

Jermaine Edmonson? I follow local hs football pretty closely & I'm surprised this guy doesn't ring a bell at all.

Spot on.

I'm w/ LZip & going with under. I think by the end of the season we'll actually be a better team than we were last year though our record won't show it. Our schedule is just too tough this year. VMI - W Wisky - L Marshall - L Appy St. - W Kent - W Miami - W WMU - L BSU - L Buffalo - W Toledo - L BUGS - L Ohio - L 5-7. Bulletin board material. Prove me wrong, Zips!

Here's where to watch online: http://www.akronohio.gov

Won't be there in person but going to watch online.

KD & Dru Joyce Sr. should have been in the VIP car.

KD just tweeted he's going to be on ESPN's Outside the Lines at 1:30.

Any update on Jordan Davis? IMHO he underperformed last year (senior year in high school). To give JD the benefit of the doubt, McKinley was a completely guard-oriented team last year & the couple of times I saw them play he just didn't seem to fit in real well. To be critical of JD, he often seemed disinterested out there.

“I love the opportunity to play at Akron. I want to put on for the city.” Precisely the atmosphere we've got to cultivate.

Stud. Love seeing the Akron area players staying home to represent!!! IMHO we've got to put the proverbial fence up around this area.

So, to keep a running record of our 2017 verbal commits... Kobie Booker, DL, Barberton Jemarulin Suggs, RB, East Deandre Brimage, DL, East Dusty Burkhart, WR, Coventry Marcus Kidd, OL, Garfield Will Barto, OLB, Briarcrest Christian, TN We've also received two verbals from players in Oregon, right?

Got to see Barberton play last year and this guy is a stud. Really stood out on the field. Thanks for these updates, Zach!
