JJ gets SI's Don Banks "In All Honesty Award" Rarely have I seen a combine prospect enter the media work room and open a vein for reporters quite like Jenkins did Sunday afternoon in his 10-minute interview session. I'll say this, Jenkins is no Ryan Mallett, the Arkansas quarterback who took the stage in the 2011 combine and defiantly refused to shed any light on the rumors of collegiate drug use in his background. Jenkins turned the spotlight on his own behavior and filled in all the blanks. In detail. If the first step toward overcoming mistakes is acknowledging them, Jenkins is well on his way. Jenkins, the ex-Gators star, talked about his three arrests, two of them for marijuana possession. He talked about his bar fight arrest. His failed drug test at Florida. Being kicked off the team by new Gators head coach Will Muschamp last spring and winding up at Division II North Alabama. And his four children, all age 3 and under. It was a remarkably revealing Q&A, and he struck just the right tone of remorse and responsibility throughout. No Vontaze Burfict, he. On Tuesday, Jenkins went out and dazzled the scouts on the field, running a blazing 4.46 in the 40, broad-jumping 10-1 and looking smooth and athletic in all the defensive back drills. He's a first-round talent, and he may have earned himself a fresh look from a handful of wary teams with his stellar combine performance. Charlotte Observer writes JJ was a WINNER in workouts

Nice article. I agree, the Zips are playing "lazy" D as of late. Not the entire team, but most. I suspect the defensive energy will be high AT HOME tonight. Rock the JAR!

I agree with Charlie, if a ref tells a player what to do, it's an advantage. Good for Zeke listening to him and taking that advantage. I said it here at the beginning of the season, I would like to see Zeke increase his communication with the referees after whistles.

Free agent Domenik Hixon (torn ACL) says his "straight-line speed" is back to 100 percent, and that he's doing agility drills at roughly 75 percent. Hixon, of course, is recovering from his second torn right ACL is as many years. His agent said Monday he is expected to re-sign with the Giants, though that could depend on the results of an upcoming physical. If cleared for training camp, Hixon should compete for return duties.

The Zips are 10-0 ATS at home this season. Favored by 6.5 tonight. Ride the train!

Me too.

I saw it before the Toledo game. Way before game time. I see nothing wrong with it. If they add a few passes in the paint, they can have a dunk contest during a game, not just before.

I hate to give an OU grad credit after the pounding that an Akron grad watched last night, but in both cases the OU guy(s) deserve the credit. Some very good/insightful posts today. I'll mention one thing in the category "Seeing the forest through the Trees(double entendre?)" Is it possible we gained more from that game than we lost? It's not to late for the staff to......(fill in the blank).

A ten point loss to Steven F. Austin must really be hurtful? Video: Harsh love • “We’ve had problems with these guys off the court, on the court, classroom, drugs, I mean, being late for stuff, all that stuff correlates together if you’re going to win games.” • “I feel sorry for this school. I mean these kids are stealing money by being on scholarship with their approach to things.” • “The main problem is we don’t have a leader. We have six seniors but not one of them is a leader. We’ve got a bunch of followers.” • “We’ve got a bunch of tin men out there, they have no heart… We can’t play for them, that’s the sad thing.” • “Usually you have one or two guys that are a problem. We have an infestation of guys that are hard to coach.”

You knew it wouldn't be long once it hit ZN.org, google fixed the den of cheaters.

Thank you, that sounds correct.

On the order form found here, it mentions Clevelander. Hope they switch the drink specials to Miller products.

KD made a funny comment on his show a few Mondays ago about Steve being...I can't remember the word or phrase KD used, I'll say "negative" but I don't think that's right. He followed up by saying something like "that's why we have you Joe to even it out." I thought it was a funny crack on both of them. Two birds with one stone. When KD leaves Akron, I'll always remember him for his honest interviews. He is the easiest sports interview to get info from, and the Akron media hardly takes advantage. I'll have to get one of them hair shirts, I guess it's different than my uncle's pool sweater?

We have a nine man rotation, nobody needs rest. If you want rest, do what KD said that Shaka told him he did, cut a practice.

Let's see what a coach who knows says...

If your going to directly reply to my posts, at the very least read them. I never wrote "gut." Please stop trying to twist my words.

Go with what you see on the floor, it never lies, stats do. It separates the winners in Vegas from the losers every time. That's why they give you the trend sheet for free.

I like way they covered!

In talks, decision in the next month per NY Times. Hope they put a good word in for us.

Throw it on my coffin as they lower it in the ground.
