Blue & Gold

He seems like a genuinely good person.

Not counting Tribble, who was our last PG who would seriously finish above the rim (consistently). Jimmal Ball?

TJ Peatross has a nice write up from the Holy Grounds Classic I attended last weekend. The article is free & talks about Eric. TJ lists Eric at 6'5" and I think that's more accurate than the 6'3" which was published in the Moeller roster distributed at the event.

"...his finishing above the rim is second to none." 6'0" PG finishing above the rim?! Love it!!!

I wish we were seeing some more smoke concerning the quarterback position.

Shoot 😢

That's what I was thinking. In fact I thought it was a foregone conclusion that Dawson was coming back next year, no?

Reminds me of Lamer Sperling.

You're right! My bad.

Manchester RB Ethan Wright has entered the TP

As far as I know we haven't offered this guy, but we did offer him out of high school. He was a 3-star QB prospect from Centerville, OH. Just someone to keep an eye on.

Enrique is such a beast. Most of my favorite Zips have been front court players... Jeremiah Wood, Romeo Travis, Tree Treadwell, Zeke Marshall. Absolutely all-time Zips greats. Here we are in year 4 of 'Rique's career and for some reason I still can't get my mind around the fact I'd take Enrique in front of all of them. I still remember what I thought was a laughably optimistic over-reaction by @NWAkron to a video which popped up online of Enrique playing well in the Akron-Canton "Defense Optional" Pro-Am summer league. He looked pretty decent in the video but even after watching it I never thought Enrique would even be put on scholarship.

Not sure if this guy's been mentioned yet, but he's followed on X by JoMo, Tre Bell, Coach Wart, as well as Zips freshman OL Jonas Mann, so I'll assume we've offered him.

Good question, @Illini Zip. Tough to say. Not really. He's built like a shorter Ali Ali, but he didn't post up back to the basket or shoot midrange at all. He's got a more natural outside shot than Nate Johnson. But I'm gonna say he's kinda like Nate in that he's going to have to develop just a little bit more confidence & then he's got the potential to be very good. But in the game I saw he didn't shoot midrange like Nate. More like Dawson in that it's either at the rim or from 3. He did cut to the basket a couple of times but the passes he received weren't very good - I would have liked to have seen what he could do had he gotten some decent passes. He never shot a 3 coming off a screen but I could definitely envision him doing so as he's got a very smooth stroke. He's a really good ball handler & he looks taller than 6'3" but the Moeller roster lists him at 6'3" so I'll trust them.

Sweet! It’s most likely going to be 6’0” 190 Justin Anderson of Foothill C.C.
