Blue & Gold

Lol. And one of the ZN members will accuse the other of being the player's dad.

PG: Robotham/Antino SG: Williams/Ivey SF: Kretzer/McAdams PF: Cheatham/Aaron Jackson(?) C: Forsythe/Big Dog With Williams @ "SG" that gives us 2 interchangeable lead guards on the court w/ Robotham @ "PG". Williams & Robotham are almost clones of each other. Ivey is more of a pure SG.

Meh, at least we're finally getting press. Lol.

Depressing game. Excellent photography!!!

Coolest picture I've seen in a while. No wonder the team is so tightly-knit. https://instagram.com/p/8000Idht6F/ Go Zips!

Okay, we discuss this from time-to-time, but I'm obviously slow on the uptake. I'm confused about this. We have 13 scholarships to hand out. Currently all 13 are used. After this year we lose Reggie McAdams, Jake Kretzer and Pat Forsythe. That opens up THREE scholarships for next year. But we've got FIVE verbal commits for next year: Craig Eubanks, Tavian Dunn-Martin, Isaiah Williams, Jordan Davis, and Michael Hughes. That puts us 2 over the limit. What gives? Everyone on the current roster seems quite happy being a Zip. The only player I could see possibly transferring elsewhere to look for more playing time is Aaron Jackson, but he seems to simply love being on the team. I just don't see how the numbers work out.

Jerome Lane, our very own Megatron

Good preseason practice report from GT of the ABJ. http://www.ohio.com/sports/zips/university-of-akron-men-s-basketball-zips-hopeful-of-another-successful-season-as-practice-begins-1.631786#

Another obvious aspect about Van Edwards that I failed to mention is that he looks quite a bit faster than either Hundley or Alexander. He's got more home run potential than either of our current 2-deep.

I'm loving Coney too. Dude is fearless. He catches the ball in traffic, is a little cocky, and not afraid to get lit up.

Is anyone as impressed and excited about RB/KR Van Edwards Jr. as I am? He's the most competent KR man I've seen in a number of years for the Zips. He's fearless, doesn't shy from contact, runs relatively powerfully and explosively north-and-south, and exhibits a lot of shiftiness and good field vision. I think he's looked good in the very few carries I've seen of him from the RB position this season - I was hoping he'd get more PT in the EMU blowout. He's well-built @ 5-9 & 185 and will probably come in next season at 190. I was worried about the RB position next season when we lose Hundley and Alexander, but now I think we're gonna be in good shape. http://www.gozips.com/sports/fball/2015-16/bios/Edwards_Van

I saw that. Kinda strange.

And this recruit is for the 2017 season, but I'm thrilled that we've offered him already: http://www.hudl.com/athlete/4060027/weston-bridges RB Weston Bridges of Copley. He's absolutely the real deal. RB, 6'1", 200 lbs., 4.46 40YD dash

Here's a kid I hope we're looking at: http://www.hudl.com/athlete/3726123/treon-vance Tre'on Vance of Canton McKinley. He's been playing well & almost single-handedly beat GlenOak the other night (GlenOak held on to beat McK.) WR, DB, 6'2", 171 lbs., 4.49 40-yard dash.

With the verbal of Michael Hughes, is Jordan Davis still a future Zip?

Dude looks chiseled. 6'8", 270? That's bigger than Hulk Hogan!
