Our first three verbals of 2013 are all from Western PA.

6'5" 250lb TE from Brentwood HS in Pittsburgh. Scout profile (rated #68 TE)

CJ was a walk-on.

Consider away.

UA completely renovates Knight Chemical Lab UA begins turning away students in need of remedial courses. Two pretty big news items on how UA is changing for the better.

Twitter. No official announcement from UA or WVU because the paperwork isn't complete yet.

WVU roster profile describes him as: • Has tremendous upside • Runs the floor extremely well • Has outstanding lateral quickness • Has effective footwork in the post

It appears as if 6'11" 255lb WVU Center Pat Forsythe will be transferring to play for Akron on scholarship. he's a redshirt freshman and i'm pretty sure he doesn't have to sit out a year thanks to a hardship waiver from the NCAA. Welcome back to NE Ohio, Pat!

Running Ianello's offesive schemes, a.k.a. the same set of three plays every posession, even a mediocre defense could have figured out how to stop Cam Newton after 15 minutes of watching film.

I believe players are supposed to report to camp today or tomorrow, so hopefully we see an updated roster soon.

Article. This recruiting just class keeps getting deeper and more impressive.

http://insider.espn.go.com/college-footbal...g_%3dakron-zips Anybody with ESPN Insider care to give us the gist of it?

Tressel's transgressions have been all but forgotten to most people, thanks to all that stuff at Penn State. The OSU scandal seems like a lifetime ago, and like it wasn't really that big of a deal.

Thought we should probably have a thread for one of our more successful athletic programs. Article on Zips track recruit.

Akron signs a home-and-home with Iowa State in 2018-2019

It would be hilarious if a start-up USFL team was able to sell out Dix Stadium before Can't ever did.

Former Zips RB James Black lands a role in the new Charlie Sheen sitcom that airs on Thursday.

http://www.ohio.com/sports/zips/zips-cente...-court-1.316404 Tecca is the piece that puts the Zips ovr the edge, and I hope she makes a full recovery. It was excruciating seeing the team come up just a few points shy for game after game. With Tecca, they win those games and compete for the MAC championship.

"Interest" usually means contact with coaches, whether face-to-face, phone, texting, etc. Generally a recruit receives interest from coaches for a few months before being offered a scholarship, as they build a relationship and the coaches guage the recruit's personality and attitude to see if they'll be a good fit on the team. Early commitments at the MAC level usually have interest from schools, but few scholarship offers because most schools haven't gotten to the level where they're ready to make an offer. Maybe he would see more offers if he stayed uncommitted longer, but maybe not. It's a gamble to wait, and if a school feels right then it's not uncommon for the recruit to commit and get it out of the way early to focus on their senior season.

Bump, because it's been three years and lots of new faces.
