Looks like he is ditching the prep school route (maybe made grades?) and is going to be joining us this season. Interesting. https://gozips.com/news/2022/5/23/mens-basketball-amani-lyles-commits-to-play-hoops-at-akron.aspx

At the very least, he's a one year stop gap at back up...which is very thin. Best case, he returns to his freshman year form and challenges Irons.

Neat. Never would have known (obviously). Thanks for sharing.

May be a walk on.

I think you mean professional.

Looks like injury last season. Unsure if they had any 2020 season.

Agreed. Seems like a good talent but a bit of a different mold than Joe Mo has been targeting so far or used in recent history.

Just offered this QB. https://ualbanysports.com/sports/football/roster/jeff-undercuffler/8416

McCoy is the other LB we signed. 505 bench for an incoming freshman seems insane.

Griffin is a unique add to the 2022 class at this point. No reported offers outside of JUCO, but his hudl looks solid. Maybe grades were the issue? At first glance, I'd think he'd be on scholly based on film/Joe Mo tweeting out the commitment. https://www.hudl.com/profile/11301668/Jaharon-Griffin

Draylen Ellis committee to Tennessee St.

I saw Marcus Moore picked up offers to at least Liberty and Marshall in recent days. Hope we can keep him as well.

Hopefully he gets it together, because it appears the talent is there...could be a steal.

As is Caden Clark!

Just noticed that lol. Thanks for bringing it up.

Nice video. Looking forward to the comments... Go Zips!

Crazy thought that Enqriue has graduated already, but not surprised. Maybe we need to come to terms this might be our last ride with him unles he wants two masters…

Isn’t Nance going to the NBA??

There’s nothing clear about what we are. We’re named the Zips and have a kangaroo mascot.

I could be wrong, but he committed before national signing day and was never announced as either a scholarship player or PWO, so I assumed he would be walk on. Davis was announced though as a signee. Interesting note on the extension to June 1st. I'm sure that's the reason its been quieter than expected.

Lol...boom or bust type there. Kind of like the Browns giving this basketball player a shot.

Updated for the removal of Woobendy Guerrier, Brandon Bischoff, and Joey Marousek as well as the additions of Keylen Davis (since he was announced at the spring game) and Daniel George. Leaves us with an estimated 1 scholarship open, which I presume would go to a QB. We may find out about a few more players leaving at some point, but 247 has a lot of updating to do so we're basically relying off of what we see on twitter at this point.

Hester is a nice player who has a chance to earn a scholarship. I don't think he's better than any of the scholarship RB's however, so it'll need to be earned on special teams or if a number of RBs go down ahead of him probably. Just my opinion.
