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.

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!

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.
