well hell hell

I'm about 90% positive Harris was a scholarship player brought in with the staff's first class. He didn't play at all last season due to injury and barely made any appearances on the field this year. Good luck to him. Looking forward to seeing how the staff can use his scholarship to improve the team. This is the type of player where its probably best for both sides to move on.

Never gets old kicking OU's a$$. Media can keep picking them ahead of us and write all the feel good stories about their players they want. We'll keep winning.

Outside of a few blown defensive assignments on pick and roll D, very nice first half. Getting contributions from everyone.

Whether its been Tribble or LCJ, i've noticed we've been pressuring him full court. Coaching staff must agree. Seems he's feeling it though.

No reason to get excited outside of it being a local kid from a good program coming back home. He's likely a walk-on, so I imagine not missing anything.

No different than Notre Dame going to get cream pied by Alabama like they just did by Clemson with Lawrence. I remember UCF beating Auburn, Boise beating Oklahoma, and Houston beating Florida State in big bowl games. Houston beat Oklahoma a few years ago in regular season. Its what makes sports great. The G5 track record in their auto bid large bowl games isn't that bad in recent history. Very few blowouts. Even the MAC representatives haven't gotten blown out.

Amen. I have very little interest in the CFP. Grew up an OSU fan but get zero enjoyment now out of watching them blowout teams 10/13 games a season. I much more enjoy following the Zips through ups and downs and hoping it will pay off one day, sort of the like the Browns are now but the NFL is different obviously. We need more parity in CFB. Cap coaching salaries, cap spending on facilities, recruiting budgets, whatever it may be. Many I'm sure are against that and it's likely well justified, but the current state of CFB is broken.

The silver lining for us is that we should have plenty to choose from to fill the class out, assuming the staff is looking to start filling holes and going to more of a win now mode of course. Should be some talent out there that can really help us out.

‘Twas sarcasm, and a typo in my initial post.

There are a Trimble and Tribble? On the same team?

By all accounts, we are lucky we didn't end up getting Kent today. Nice to have the opportunity to learn from our mistakes and gel while still winning. Whose going to step up to help out LCJ? It shouldn't be on Freeman's shoulders. Wynn becoming eligible could be big if Trimble/Dailey continue to struggle. He seemed to fit in okay today on a few day's notice.

Freeman is beasting. Good for him. May have a 20/20 game.

Did George Thomas finally get replaced and/or is the ABJ upping coverage of the Zips? Seems like a win either way.

I sure hope Monrowe didn't get his English education from Akron.

Just heard them say Ball States’s coach won one conference game his first 2 seasons.

Ball State looking good. Buffalo going to have to rely on Vantrease more than ever down 14.

Keep in mind our coach played QB in the NFL and other professional football for a number of years, even had the opportunity to learn behind one of the all time greats in that. I'm sure hot routes/audibles to adjust to blitzes is a very elementary concept to him. He's mentioned in pressers how much the QB is asked to do and that includes getting them into the right play based on what the defense is showing. I'm highly confident that issue sticks out as a result of a red-shirt freshman QB running the ship and learning as he goes and gains more experience rather than it being a coaching issue.

Keep an eye out on this guy. Director of Recruiting liked this tweet and we have about 5 Zips coaches already following him, and from what I can tell we didn't recruit him out of HS. Have not noticed this type of activity from the staff on other transfer portal recruits in the past.

No QB will be fresh out of high school and all should be here for spring ball/offseason workouts. I like it. Bring on the competition!

I'm sure it won't be televised like Cedarville...

Not landing =/= not recruiting. Its a dumb take on numerous levels, including me just counting 53 players from OH on our roster. I suppose Ken would rather us give a scholly to a kid not deserving or a kid who will never make it to campus let alone be able to stick with the program (like just about ever city series player I can think of Bowden recruited) than sign players he thinks are the best fit for the school/program/culture. Everyone is so short-sighted these days.

fu*k!!

They may have been looking at rivals, scout, 247, or even espn to get those star ratings. I personally put the most weight on 247 as they are the most detailed. With that said, its not worth talking a lot about stars at this point, as many of our players aren't even rated. Not rated =/= zero star, just means it hasn't been done yet. Many of our signings aren't even showing yet.

Wrong year.
