Who was this confirmed by? Coach or a source you have? I did not hear anything about it during the presser, but did not hear the radio portion. If not being on the roster right now = not being on the team anymore, I suppose that answers our questions about Bryce Dixon and Snodgrass as well.

Well said.I don't recall exact details either, butI think a lot of us had questions about it as coaches comments coupled with the time he missed seemed confusing. Ex. he was a game time decision or "close" to being ready vs. Kent St...then missed multiple consecutive weeks.

I forgot all about him. If my math is right he will be a redshirt junior. Coach said that he wants to use the TE more in yesterday's press conference (I believe in response to Captain's question), but still it seems like we have a lot at the TE/H Back position that we do not use heavily. MTB, Newman Williams, Avery Cagle, Brandon Junk, and now Darryl Long and Kobie Booker. I know people on here like to use Toledo's Michael Roberts' production from last season as something the Zips should try to do. Well we need to understand that was a total outlier. Roberts had twice the amount of TDs for a TE as any other player in the country. Point still stands, though. If we have these guys and use this many scholarships used on them, lets get creative and use them more.

Well I won't go as far to call them "studs" as I don't think any of them have played much, if any college football at all. Highly rated for MAC/talented I can agree with. But yeah, I would expect we know about all of them in the spring as they will all be eligible this season.

Great!!

I like it. While a lot of us think we have talent waiting in the wings (myself included assuming they didn't transfer), it is good to have as many options there as possible.

You guys are crazy. Woody is the QB assuming he is healthy. You heard pure coach speak and Bowden was far from direct when he asked if it was an open battle or whatever. Somebody has to be QB in the spring/when summer camp begins when Woody is out. Doesn't mean they are "the guy" when all things are equal. What I found most interesting is no mention of Chapman whatsoever. Position change or done with the team?? edit: Saw a thread was created stating he is moving to WR.

Per an 11W writer, looks like OSU's scholarship number is at 89 after today's events, so there is still some more fat to be trimmed to get down to magical #85. Let's hope we can benefit from that some. Cinci can't get all the scraps, can they!?

I really hope we got Hanson. He had a nice offer list as well.

Oh my god that is so bad. There are the many recruits listed on there twice. Guess we will see how things really stand at the presser.

Right. But Jerome was a higher rated player than anyone we currently have in this class. Someone like that is worth the risk IMO. Looking forward to watching the presser and hearing your questions being answered. I'm sure you will have some good ones.

...and as I post that it looks like Bridges is in! I think we all know who the 4 are now. I also count 8 local guys unless GT wasn't counting Corner as local.

Thanks for the info. To @zippy5's point, the earlier post was very hard to decipher. I think we all know now who the 4 are now. Kind of disappointing to me to be honest. Maybe explains why one or two were so lightly recruited. I would prefer to take on better talents if they aren't even going to qualify, but hopefully it works out for us. I think my count is 5 local guys who we haven't heard anything of, but they have been committed for a while so who knows if that changed.

Among others...he had 3-4 P5 offers depending on whatever you want to call the Minnesota interest.

Lubin is a Zip!

Moris Lugo is going to...Tennessee State? Had multiple FBS offers so it makes me think something fell through on his part.

If it is only 7, that means one of Sampson or Bridges are not coming. We haven't received Callaway's or Booker's either. I'm not too big on the 2 lineman (from Springfield and Garfield?), so I would not be bummed if they are not coming/on scholly/whatever.

Suggs as well! Glad to hear both of them are qualifiers. 5 of the first 8 are local guys. Anyone willing to bet that GT's reported 7 is correct?

Sheesh.I feel like they've already trimmed it by 3-4. Trout, Collier, and Gibson off the top of my head. Plus they had some guys leave early that they didn't expect I think like Noah Brown. I wonder if those guys are being factored into the 7-8.

and Brimage is in!

Looks like Bentley will be on scholly.

I agree.

How about "early enrollee"

The only one I am aware of is Johns. I think he was our only JUCO guy this season.
