Same HS as Mike Mathison and recent commit Montarious Reed. I don't recognize many schools on their schedule with the exception of Grayson, who I think is a powerhouse. With that said, I think its big HS ball/good competition.

My money is that its this guy if we don't hear anything between now and the 1st. https://www.hudl.com/video/3/11171444/5f78bbb6b53ef50618e79a75

Looks like they have lowered the GA tickets from $15 to $10.

Picking us behind BG is hard to agree with.

A simple visit to GoZips.com would have given you the schedule. https://gozips.com/sports/mens-basketball/schedule

Looks like we got him over Ga State and Kent St. Also went to same HS as Mike Mathison. Also, Dent has already de-committed as an update on him. Since then, he's picked up offers from Michigan in addition to Oregon, among others. Staff was in early on him. Too bad camps were back this year!

So the zipsfb account just posted some photos on instagram with Andre Proffitt tagged in one, so clearly he's on the team and practicing even though not showing up on the roster online. This is the fun stuff we deal with.

So I scrubbed the roster the best I could..i think I'm going to wait a while before posting an updated scholarship chart in case there are changes, because honestly its hard to follow with all of the additions after the early signing day, but items to note that we didn't previously know (nothing too exciting): Absent previously known scholarship players: Shawn Muldowney (OL) and Kevin Walls (WR) Absent previously known 2021 signees that are believed to be scholarship players: Andre Proffitt (DL) Additions who are what I'd assume to be new scholarship players: Zach Morton (DL - previously with Syracuse on scholly), Andrew Behm (LB, who seemed to tear up JUCO as a true freshman in the limited spring 2021 season), Kevin Dever Jr (S - from St Eds, previous walk-on at OSU). https://247sports.com/Player/Zach-Morton-85536/ https://www.eccathletics.com/sports/fball/2020-21/releases/20210615g0p1qa https://www.elevenwarriors.com/forum/ohio-state-football/2021/01/120694/former-ohio-state-walk-ons-kevin-dever-and-darryl-sinclair-in-transfer-portal

1 win in 1.5 seasons with no FCS opponents if we want to get technical.

There isn't really a reason to be excited for the season. I'm looking forward to see the team competing and players continue to develop, but winning somewhere between 3-4 games would be "meeting expectations" in my eyes. We could end up being be surprised now that we have the starting QB back who is in year 3 of the system, many players got a lot of experience the past 2 years, we appear to be getting some old faces back in Jalen Hooks and Andre Williams per the roster online, and we've added some key transfers like Fann, Boateng, SL McCall, and Ant Williams that are filling holes and able to contribute immediately Its a building process and I think we are a year away from a .500 or better season assuming it doesn't get blown up before then, but I think at this point there is definitely more potential in year 3 of the rebuild compared to year 1 and last year with everything surrounding that.

probably won't update the roster until everyone reports for fall camp. Just saw Coach Z tweet a picture with Lyons the other day as a point of reference.

Anyone have an idea when fall camp starts? Should be any day now.

George couldn't be bothered to make it to Detroit huh?

Just because the tournament isn't strong doesn't mean we won't be challenged outside of it. We are at least playing OSU...

Do you have some ideas on how to get the general public excited about Akron football? Most on here even lack it and we are supposed to be the die hards.

I think Mr. Guthrie is off to a good start.

We switched from Adidas to Nike. There wasn't any choice but to get new uniforms. I don't care enough to look it up, but I would assume they pay us to wear their gear.

I think I like it. Agree on looking like Penn St

At least we aren't BG

Big news out of Hocking. https://ohiobobcats.com/news/2021/7/14/football-head-football-coach-frank-solich-steps-down-associate-head-coach-tim-albin-promoted-to-head-coach.aspx

He doesn't seem to have much activity in the way of offers, but he seems to have good size and I think his tape is nice. https://www.hudl.com/video/3/11254249/60a5b7921762b50d3011ff04

It's an incredibly uninformative preview anyways. Though their win prediction is likely about right.
