Hustlebelt has unfortunately really taken a nose dive the past few years. They used to be a solid alternative to the crappy local coverage we get.

I have not tried ESPN+ yet, but my understanding before it came out was that it was a standalone service that needs purchased and paid for monthly. I don't understand the need for a separate name from ESPN3 if not.

Speaking on run game, anyone know anything about Suggs' status with the team?

I'm right there with you, but I think I have a little more respect for Miami and Buffalo than you. IMO, its a 4 team race for the East (with BGSU and Kent being clearly below everyone). So we could easily finish 4th, though it would be disappointing. I don't even think OU is on a different level anymore. Beware of the Buffalo QB being hyped as the next Josh Allen this year...its already happening. He may not even be the best QB on his team. IIRC the back up came in last year and broke records. I too feel like the program is finally at a point where while we do have question marks, I don't think we have many holes (at least I hope not as the question marks do have talent) and are finally accumulating depth behind the starters.

pretty meh predictions, IMO, but something to discuss in this long-ass offseason. https://macprospectus.com/2018/07/17/mac-football-preseason-team-predictions-2018/

Did Williams not make a big time hire (on a very smart contract) in Groce last year after the unexpected departure of KD?

Have some time today, so I went through and added offers for all of our commits so far. Definitely picking up some momentum, as everyone committing now has multiple offers. I think Hilton is still committed, but he seems to be picking up a lot of interest. 2019 commits: Kobe Hilton, OT/DT, 6-4, 260, Farrell HS, Farrell, PA - Akron, Ball St, Buffalo, Miami (OH), Toledo, WMU Tyler Connolly, OL, 6-5, 285, Marysville HS, Marysville, OH - Akron Janil Brown, DT, 6-3, 300, Palm Beach Central HS, Wellington, FL -Akron Jalen Bell, DT, 6-0, 285, Martin Luther King HS, Detroit, MI - Akron Sonny Ray Jones, Jr., RB, 5-11, 185, Ravenna HS, Ravenna, OH - Akron Quan Easterling, TE, 6-2, 235, Archbishop Hoban HS, Akron, OH - Akron, Toledo Jaison Williams, OL, 6-2, 330, Trotwood Madison HS, Trotwood, OH - Akron Jarred Uran, LB, 6-2, 195, LaSalle HS, Cincinnati, OH - Akron, Ball St, BG, EMU, Kent St, Mass, NMSU, NDSU, Ohio.

Love both of these gets!

there have been multiple videos posted on twitter. I can't remember which football account they've been posted under though.

Was Kest pushed out?

its not hard to google. Families of lower middle-class to poor backgrounds can go to a library if they have no other means of connecting to the internet to curb their curiosity. Surely its not too radical of an idea for parents to make their children aware of the risks or even prevent them from playing if deemed too risky. I find the fact that you think lower-middle class to poor families can't educate themselves to be quite disturbing. Talk about demeaning.

Joe Tresey is doing work. Nice to have some new (old) blood in the program.

I mean its the MAC, so I don't expect quality reporting when it comes to it. Without looking at the new articles, I think its a pretty even 4 team race in the East this year between OU, Buffalo, Miami, and Akron. Should be a competitive season.

I hope you're right B&G. This class is picking up some nice momentum, especially in spots where I don't think we have a lot of young depth (LB and DL).

I'm assuming the twins are still on the team then?

thats the same team Romeo Travis played on last year.

The class is filling up!

Here you go.

Thanks. I guess I knew he had 3 years, but I didn't know if it would be 3 on the field eligible years. Being that he redshirted at IU then it looks like we are getting 3 years on the field (hopefully!).

Good info Cap'n. That's too bad to hear about Booker. Does that mean Morris is going to have 3 years of eligibility if he doesn't have to sit?

Yes, I don't think that would make him necessarily lose credibility, though. What I do think probably makes him lose credibility is the fact that he wasn't here during the alleged incident. Whether it did or didn't happen, I think this will all amount to nothing. NCAA seems to have a lot bigger fish to fry.

When is fall camp supposed to start?! Im jonesin' over here!

Another member of #RooCrew19 ! Looks to only possess two FCS offers at this point per his twitter.
