I agree. I thought he made Hoban worse, not better. Lamar Sperling carried that team, not Long.
Me too. I thought with Long coming in Hoban was going to be able to force defenses to be honest by stretching the field like they were able to do w/ Shane Hamm under center. Not so. It was Sperling or bust.

Great topic! We should never, never, never get rid of our gold helmets & our traditional gold-blue-gold uni's, but my favorite alternate uniforms are when we go solid colors w/ all white or all blue head-to-toe

Serious question: why are you surprised?
Keon transferred in from Maryland & I thought he’d play straightaway, kinda like our OL transfer from Penn State did last year (I’m forgetting his name… Whigan?). Then with Kabbash Richards there was a lot of hype on the board about his verbal & he had a lot of interest from other schools. With how weak our DE pass rushing was last year I thought he’d also get on the field pretty quickly & (hopefully) remedy that.

At the RT spot I'm surprised to see AJ George and not Keon Kindred.
I'm a bit surprised to not see Kabbash Richards in the 2-deep at either DE spot.

Looks like JacQai Long committed to Marshall and has also transferred to a high school in West Virginia.
Marshall can have him. I was thoroughly unimpressed with him this past year. It blows my mind he has so many D-1 offers. They must see thus-far-unrealized potential there.

Didn't want to start a new thread for this. Vote InfoCision!

Btw, ran into Amani at Chipotle the other day. He’s looking good! Looks like he’s trimmed down a bit. Can’t wait to see what kind of jump he’ll make this year.

Have we begun posting our win/loss projections yet? Vegas is only giving us 3.5 wins this year and they think Temple is going to roll us 😔
The very first game -v- Temple is yuuuuuge.
A win, IMHO, sets us up to possibly go bowling, while a loss pretty much puts us behind the 8-ball for the remainder of the season.
My projections (as of 7/6)
@ Temple - W
Morgan State - W
@ Kentucky - L
@ Indiana - L
Buffalo - W
NIU - W
@ CMU - L
@ BUGS - W
KSUcks - W
@ Miami - L
@ EMU - L
Ohio - L
We go bowling IF we beat Temple and also win every other game I think we should. To go bowling we simply can't have an off game and lose a game we should win.
I still say bet the house we win 4 games. But go bowling? IDK. @catdaddyp, do you have any insight into how strong Temple is supposed to be this year? They were basically as bad as we were last year.

Kaiwan Murphy in pic 2. Would be a pleasant surprise if we got some good production out of him this year. I recall staff speak highly of him as a true freshman last season (as well as Jaharon Griffin).
Kiawan looks like a BEAST! Mercy!

He committed to us early, but here is a nice graphic with Sean Patrick's offers.

FWIW, Ka'Marii Landers still features all his Zips photos on his twitter profile as well as describing himself as "3* LT @ Akron"

His Twitter profile already says "Head Baseball Coach at The University of Akron"
Welcome, Bryan!
Does anyone know anything about Bryan?

Was mildly disappointed we picked up neither Georgetown nor Villanova on the road this year since both are reasonable commutes - until I saw the Big East tournament will be 40 minutes from me. 😊I'll be there.
Is the Big East going with an East/West conference alignment this season? The three teams I don't see on our schedule are geographically eastern: Georgetown, Villanova, and UConn.

Good read. Out of all those matchups I’d actually say Akron is the best bet. I think there’s a snowballs chance of Toledo beating Illinois. The writer focuses on what Illinois lost and not what they return (and have added the past two offseasons). One of the best front sevens in the Big10 and potentially all of college football. Good luck to Toledo running the ball against that crew. Fat chance Toledo does much defensively against an OL that is likely to have 3 players drafted, a stout RB room, and some extremely talented WRs. I feel like this is another instance where the writer is more focused on the name on the jersey vs what’s actually happening. Props to him for recognizing Akron as an up-and-comer though.
For almost two decades I’ve been surprised Illinois can’t get something going. They haven’t done much since the Juice Williams days. Maybe they can start getting some traction in a weak-ish B1G West. (Though I heard the B1G may do away with divisions next year? Just Illinois’ luck.
