Holy Moses! He's now listed at 6'7, 320!! http://www.ohio.com/blogs/varsity-letters/abjvarsity-1.279974/garfield-s-marcus-kidd-pledges-to-play-football-at-the-university-of-akron-1.686542

Yep. Tressel is a natural born leader. And he really wanted the job. He loves challenges & is tireless, well-spoken and intelligent. He would have made us the #2 school in the state.

Great size!: 6-6, 285.

Man, this kid is FAST. http://www.hudl.com/athlete/3551579/highlights/304667429

Welcome to the family & thank you for posting! We're all excited that your son is a Zip & can't wait to see him perform on the field! Go Zips!

Just saw it posted on twitter than 6'6", 285 lb. Garfield OT/DT Marcus Kidd gave us a verbal today. http://www.hudl.com/athlete/5575764/marcus-kidd

Andre McCray.

Bre' Ford.

Too bad for us and too bad for him. I think he would have fit in nicely here.

Zips Football posted the article on their Facebook page. Unless they're using it for bulletin board material I wish they hadn't.

About that proposed new arena... LeBron's lifetime Nike deal worth $1 Billion. http://cavsnation.com/report-lebron-james-deal-nike-worth-an-insane-amount/ LeBron Nike UA City of Akron Summit County FirstEnergy Summa Akron General / Cleveland Clinic Goodyear Diebold Firestone Huntington & PNC increasing their presence in NEO w/ new regional headquarters in Akron. We've got to be able to piece together $80 million.

As a senior Javon was 1st Team D-1 All-Ohio & D-1 co-POTY along with Esa Ahmad who went to WV.

I'd love a new arena, something along the lines of the University of Miami's (FL) arena. But an updated JAR would be nicer than most of the A-10 arenas... or at least nicer than half of them. There are quite a few rather unimpressive arenas in the A-10.

Great looking athlete! Pumped!!!

http://www.ohio.com/news/local/stark-state-college-to-build-akron-campus-at-perkins-street-and-route-8-1.682501 I know for years Zach's been pushing this sight for potential development.

We'd expressed interest in LePear and may have offered a scholarship, even though I know we didn't have any scholarships left to give out this year. He's going to prep school. Maybe a player to keep an eye on for next year's 2017 class? http://www.cantonrep.com/sports/20160511/mckinleys-lepear-toles-to-go-prep-school-route/?Start=1

That's a beautiful ring.

+1. I don't see NBA players being willing to expend the energy on the defensive end of the floor which the full-court-press-all-game-long Havoc requires.

Unintended consequence: UA dropping baseball has really curbed my enthusiasm for area high school baseball. I'm no longer that interested in who the area's top college baseball prospects are.

My thoughts exactly. Have we ever had our place kicking and punting done by the same player?

Western PA basketball isn't nearly what WPA football is. It's a far cry from NEO.

Sorry to see you go, Balzy. I'm sure I'll see you on occasion. Keep spreading the love for the Zips in your classroom! We need young ones growing up rooting for the Zips. And even if you don't post on ZNo very often, remember that Zips football, basketball & soccer are fun entertainment, so don't stop attending! Go Zips!
