Imagine having 2 Ryan Johnson's on the team. Both who play DL.

Here you go Mr. Ward. Right on GoZips.com and always has been. https://questionnaires.armssoftware.com/3242f548bc75 Additionally per GoZips.com, the phone number next to his bio is (330) 972-7466. I'm sure that won;t go directly to him, but I'm sure whoever picks it up is able to get into contact with him.

Like what I am seeing so far. I believe both Wiley and Threatt will both technically still be underclassman, so they aren't one and done types and have a lot of potential IMO. Just think...we're still probably looking at least at a dozen or so more of these types, and would still have the ability to add another 17 high schoolers on top of that (32 total due to transfer outs). I'll be interested to see how the staff decides to break up that allocation in their first year. Still would be nice if we could retain any of Gibson, Mumpfield, and Mathison...but it seems unlikely. Gibson and Mumpfield both seem destined for P5 and Mathison may want to get back to GA. He's only picked up a couple G5 offers so far though (including GA Southern). With Qualls also gone, we are all of the sudden looking very thin/young at WR.

Any interest in starting a new commit list in the 22 thread, @Blue & Gold? Should just be Wiley and the DL from Memphis as of now.

this is hell. its running rampant everywhere.

We haven't moved on to 2023 yet To me it seems like, the redshirt rule, the one time transfer rule, and the extra year from COVID is affecting HS numbers more than anythign. Kids could always transfer before the portal (Jojo Natson anyone). Its just more visible now...and I'm sure there are more entering, but once again the former mentioned factors seem to be the reason for the log jam.

Man you guys are a bit harsh on Wynn.

This is one of KD’s annual patsies. Iirc, he brought Duquesne to SVSM a few years ago and played them there.

Good win. I find it kind of hard to believe we were 3.5 underdogs. Probably would say this was our best overall team effort all season outside of the OSU game (d2 games don't count). Looks like we are starting to come together at the right time as we head into conference play.

The Horizon is not good. Annoys me when I see Cleveland State get more coverage than us on the news.

Hope I'm not speaking too soon, but we're looking pretty good all around. Everyone contributing and creating.

Groce wanna win? Put in Mike Wynn!

How can one not love Mike Dawson? He just does a little of everything for the team.

NIL money is not supposed to be contingent on attending a school or performance. I understand thats the way it is right now, but the system needs fixed and isn't working the way it was intended, IMO.

I haven't spent enough time thinking about it...but my off the cuff thoughts are how so? There are still the same amount of scholarships available (up to 85 per team). These players transferring may be taking up a spot on a new team, but are opening one on their old team. There's obviously different approaches on how to build a team, but I fail to see how an argument can be made that there are less opportunities for high school kids (if that is indeed the case). Once again, haven't spent much time thinking about it.

I must have missed this guy..not Bubba4Three is it ?

An SEC recruit who hasn't recorded a stat in his career thus far (including at Memphis). I can't imagine we'd be recruiting players who aren't immediately eligible, but I wonder what the status on that is considering he's already transferred...unless he got his degree. Regardless, there was potential there at some point to end up at Miss St and we have to start somewhere. Lets hope something can be realized here. Go Zips!

Can't blame OU fans for attempting to talk smack. I guarantee you they're scared..not only for our hire but for the product whats his face put on the field for them this past season. A true double whammy. I'm sure Kent fans are worried as well, but there aren't enough of them that know how to use the internet for us to see.

I don't think we'll really know until everything is finalized. Ex - prior staff had ILB and OLB coaches. I've seen staffs with safeties and corner coaches. Also will have a recruiting coordinator and strength & conditioning coach for sure if you want to count them.

and Akron native. Come home Antoine!

Announced attendance for yesterday's game: 1529 Announced attendance for 2019 season Dec 8, 2pm Sunday game vs Southern: 2036 Announced attendance for 2019 season Dec 15, 2pm Sunday game vs Concord: 1964 I don't know if there was a women's double header on the same day as those 2019 games, but I'd have to think if that game didn't get canceled, we would have had a few hundred more there. Also COVID does have an impact, though how much is debatable.

Searching on twitter, the offers I've seen going are to very veteran defensive lineman players (1 or 2 years of eligibility). They are obviously recruiting @John Ward

He was one of the few bright spots. I'm sure he'll end up at a better program like the other 2. Gotta believe in Joe, but losing our good players is only making success more difficult.

Not good.

First time I've ever seen that happen. Great play that bad about a 38 yard difference in field position. He can catch punts too unlike Felton.
