Blue & Gold

it WAS a big time college basketball atmosphere 😉

I’ll also add that, even though I wish it was the AKR Clothing Co., the gentleman working behind the counter said he owned the business and was very friendly. I was happy to give him my business and told him I’d be back.

The last time we had a 1000 yard rusher was 2013? 😭😭😭 Wait a minute… Teon Dollard never rushed for 1,000?

Looking at Terrence Thomas’ top-shelf offensive highlights I can’t believe JoeMo isn’t salivating to use him on the offensive side of the ball.

KENT STATE STILL SUCKS!!! If you’re able, stop into the CLE Clothing store (name still aggravates me) on Exchange across from the Info. They have a very nice selection of Zips gear and, for today at least, ALL THEIR T-SHIRTS ARE ONLY $10, not just the “White-Out” t-shirts. I went in to pick up a White Out t-shirt and ended up getting that plus two others.

I wish I could find a video of the entire game instead of just offensive highlights. The defense we played on KSUcks was half of the fun that night.

KENT STATE STILL SUCKS!!!

Ellet TE/DE, 6-3, 240

@catdaddyp could you break our class down and tell us what you think of each recruit? Also, I’m confused about class rankings. How is Buffalo ranked #1 and we #7 even though we signed six 3-star players while Buffalo only signed 4?

Thanks for the tip. There are also two Rally Sports stores in the Belden Village area, which is closer for me. I'mma check them out. Go Zips!

Not related to Zips recruiting, but here is a tweet about Walsh Jesuit WR Trey Bell. The tweet is from his dad Albert. That's gotta be former Cleveland Indian Albert Bell, no?

Trailers don't have basements.

Wasn't that Stewart? I don't know if I want to go back and rewatch. Pain. I hate losing to KSUcks. I don't even like it if I happen to overhear someone say "Kent State" in a conversation.

I also forgot there is another Transfer Portal cycle opening May 1-15. I guess to probably give guys a chance to hit the TP after Spring Ball if they find themselves buried deeper on the depth chart than they'd like... or for graduate transfers. Or both. Idk, I'm still not used to two Signing Days and the Transfer Portal.

Doesn’t look like Lemba signed anywhere. What gives?

Jim Tressel must've just resigned/retired from YSU.

Thanks for the post @ComettoZip! Glad to hear from you & I hope Dusty is doing well.

Oh, that's right! I had forgotten. And maybe that'd help land his little brother, Darryn, for Coach Groce!💪💪

I remember one white out game -v- KSUcks at the JAR where we must've lost by 20 points. I still have the shirt 😭😭

This is true. If they wanted to come home I'd still take Darryl Peterson & AJ Kirk though.

I think Brayden was being recruited on potential and his name. He's got a terrific genetic pedigree but never really did much on the field. But I will admit that you guys are correct about Hoban players not really standing out at the college level. There've been a number of Hoban recruits I've wished we'd landed but then they sort of fizzle out at the college level. (Not that I'm hoping Lamar fizzles out.) I'll try to console myself with that fact. lol. Btw, Hoban junior QB Jacquai (sp?) Long is ranked as one of the better QB's in the class of '24 but he really isn't very good. Idk how on earth he's rated as highly as he is. Hoban hasn't been able to keep a defense honest with their passing game since Shane Hamm graduated.
