Down goes the fighting KD's to previously 7-12 (1-5) UMASS.

OWho playing tough. We can't let down. Physical game so far.

LCJ MAC POY?

You guys follow the rest of the conference closer than I do...I hope you're right in your analysis of the rest of the league. Sounds like Marches will be fun again!

Good find on Leininger @bigjim. Looking at his profile, it appears he will be a walk on. With that info and @ComettoZip's nugget on Burkhart, we may have 4 available still?

Commending comments from a player who has many excuses to sulk. A player who transferred from a program that had the biggest turnaround in the country right after he left, played on an 0-12 team, was kicked out of a game and reprimanded on TV by the coach (the horror ?). I do believe Arth has been a culture changer off the field. Let's hope we are really building something here and the change also comes on the field sooner rather than later!

We signed 20 in the early signing period. We have two additional commits since then, in Dimarco Johnson and Charles Amankwaa (both DBs). I would be surprised if anyone who was committed prior to the early signing period, who did not end up signing, will end up making their way on the roster. I don't believe DeShields will count against the 25 (somebody previously posted something about a walk on being in the program 2 years and being offered a scholly doesn't count). I believe we signed 25 last year, whether it was officially announced or not. I also believe you can't rollover unused schollies from the prior year, but i may be wrong there. With that said, my best guess is we still have 3 scholarships to give out this year. There have been rumors of Andre Williams potentially rejoining the team. I hope he doesn't count against our numbers since he was on scholly last year prior to leaving. I hope we can fill the class with some higher-rated players to get excited about. Tyrik McDaniel goes to the same high school as Dimarco Johnson. We are recruiting him and he is uncommitted. https://247sports.com/player/tyrik-mcdaniel-46085272 Deandre Butler is very highly rated (probably too high for us). But he is uncommitted at this point and actually signed with Arth & Chattanooga out of HS, though I don't believe he ever actually made it to campus. https://247sports.com/player/deandre-butler-46052396

KD loves coming back to Northeast Ohio and use it as a recruiting tool. Funny how he hasn't played Kent or Akron though. He's been here what...at least 3 times since leaving?

I was thinking something similar. Hopefully we can maintain/build on the lead. I would like a lineup the last 5 or so minutes of something like Tribble, Dawson, Ali, Reece, and Sayles. Force them to develop!

Man..Dawson looks like a player who just joined the team a month ago.

whew. these refs stink.

uh...he shot over 75% of the team's FTs and made 6 of them.

Will Pelini be at YSU next year? https://footballscoop.com/news/sources-bo-pelini-a-strong-candidate-for-lsu-defensive-coordinator-position/

Well the AP vote was fun while it lasted. Combination today of getting our opponents best game and our defense playing sub par. Unsure how Toledo is barely above .500. Good wake up call, though.

That is a horrible call on Tribble

Our defense is a joke today. Riak and Sayles on the floor at the same time is....interesting.

My guesses: yes and yes.

I believe this means he has been given a scholarship.

Cheese is saving us. Has anyone scored besides him this half besides the Deng dunk?

what in the hell are we doing!?

Not sure what is uglier - NIU's basketball court or EMU's football field. Both are so ugly!! Strong start to the 2nd half by the huskies. Let's get it together.

Thats crazy.

Ya'll, I get Joe Moorhead is beloved in Akron for what he did during his time here, but he was fired from Miss State in just 2 seasons (despite 2 egg bowl wins) for a reason. His overall record was 14-12. 8 of those wins came last season win an immensely talented roster he took over. He didn't have control of his locker room. His starting QB got punched out by a teammate during bowl prep - and was out for the game as a result. Obviously I don't have a crystal ball, but "the stars not aligning" may have very well been a blessing in disguise long term.

Any additional insight you can provide? I just noticed one of our coaches like on of Williams' random tweets. Seemed odd there would be any sort of communication based on what we know, so I would think it may offer some hope. If Williams were to come back, I believe he should be a Redshirt Jr. with 2 years of eligibility. I wonder if he would count towards this year's 25 or not?

Thank god Person is finally gone. Seemed like he was there 10 years.
