From what I've seen on twitter, Tre Bell seems pretty well regarded as a recruiter. The guys it seems like we've mostly been offering so far are transfer portals and maybe class of 2022 who are rated well and have offers, but may have been left holding the bag after early signing day. I'm not complaining about that as those look to be some good players, but I agree with you - would be nice to see us clearly going head to head against another program and come out ahead.

I don't give a damn if GT is supposed to have somebody review his articles or not. Any competent professional should at least do a read over of their work to catch obvious errors. I have zero doubt in my mind that his position is one of the least coveted at the ABJ and I'd also assume he's protected by a union (may be wrong there) or he'd have been replaced long ago.

OU's guards might be better and Sears has obviously improved a ton, but I thought the difference was BVP and Carter. There aren't many teams in the country with bigs as dynamic as those two. I don't know how OU fans felt about their team's performance tonight, but I definitely don't think it was our best showing. Ali and Dawson's performance stuck out to me the most. X, Freeman, and Wynn also to an extent, but less so. Ali did try to do too much at the end, but I'm happy with the aggression. I'm sure he's learning the role on the go after being a secondary option his career thus far. I think he'll improve in that regard and we need him to do so if we want to compete for it all in Cleveland. Go Zips.

Banks' "transfer" rating would almost be certainly much lower than his rating out of HS. Him being #2 at WVU and starting a few games this year has me intrigued. Like others, I don't particularly see TE as a position of need with Brank the clear #1 IMO. I think I read he was named 3rd team all MAC and the first Zips TE ever make an All MAC team, and he was only a "super" freshman. He reported on twitter he had an offer from Missouri. Who knows how committable it was, but nice get regardless. Maybe there is something we don't know about the position group, but at the very least I think we've upgraded the #2 TE slot.

I think he was already at Miss St prior to Moorhead, but would think this would be a candidate.

I'm a little disappointed we didn't get official staff hire announcements today.

Does it exclude the games vs Point Park and Wheeling? We are 8-3 and Buffalo is 6-6. Seems odd that we would drop after beating Buffalo and they'd move up a spot??

They do...so far. Its hard to argue with their record. Their P5 losses weren't particularly close. Had a nice mid-major win over Belmont. Florida really made us forget about that buzzer beater loss to OSU. I think our team is starting to find their identity and gel (which was probably set back by the unexpected departure of Walton). Looking forward to Tuesday to see where things really stand. I think if we beat Buffalo and OU this early in the season, it would bode well for the rest of conference play.

Just Mumpfield and Gibson so far. Mathison would likely be the only other. Only Council went P5 (to Auburn) when Bowden left, though a lot of players disappeared or transferred out. They would have had to wait a year unless they were a grad transfer then.

Just a random two cents: Seems like more guys from the Arth exodus are going P5 than when Bowden was replaced. Mathison hasn't committed anywhere yet and it seems he's just getting G5 interest at this point. I'd like to see Moorhead convince him to stay.

Mumpfield to Pitt.

Our QB coach currently coaches CJ Stroud. Thats pretty sweet.

Great win. I thought we were going to get run off the floor. IDK how much of a difference the head coach makes, but props to Canada for getting this game played. I think we're finding out the team runs through Ali (and he's realizing his potential). That was efficient domination by him today. Also, Wynn provided some solid minutes for those who are interested. We're knocking off the favorite in the MAC and this team is still figuring itself out. Should be a fun season! Go Zips!

Loving the aggressiveness of Ali this 2nd half.

I'm sure it is for a variety of reasons. I'm actually surprised to see a few rows of students there.

Is Ali playing?

Playing Bama is a disaster even if you are OSU. Just look at last year's 4 score loss to Bama in the natty. The elitists will use it against the G5 for sure if Cinci gets blown out, but i'm sure they'll forget to recognize 10 out of the 14 playoff games thus far have had margin of defeats by 3 scores or more.

CMU looking very much the part so far against Wazzu

Kyle Vantrease ( @Cykron) and RB Dylan McDuffie for Canada now in the portal. Both were starters this year.

and now he's in the portal.

Doesn't hurt TN is playing in front of a home crowd in Nashville.

Watching Tennessee vs Purdue now. Heupel has that program going in the right direction and that offense strikes fast. Not good for a rebuilding defense.

Yes, looking forward for him to concentrate fully on Akron and a lot of coaching/recruiting news in the next month!

We're back, baby! Start up the thread Clark.

but Lebron said the flu, covid, and the cold are the same thing 😁
