What did they say about Youngstown State?

Thanks for the clarification, Hilltopper. I thought I read Hughes was transferring as well, but I guess I'm just crazy upon second look(even though its looks likely).

What do you think about Hughes?! I want him just as much. He was already the 2nd leading scorer for Missouri as a freshman.

However, the responses to this tweet (apparently from his mother) say no decision has been made yet.

Was it rigged when OSU lost to Michigan State and didn't make the playoff last year?

I edited above to show how they mimick rankings. As for what you think I'm implying, thats a large stretch.

You guys are making a little bit of a big deal of preseason rankings I think. The initial CFP rankings, which is used to determine who goes to the playoff, does not come out until week 10. For the most, the initial rankings were within 1 or 2 spots from the AP poll, but there were teams who took considerable jumps like Penn State did.

8 team playoff fixes everything. 5 P5 champs get an auto bid, G5 "champ" gets a bid, and two at larges. Everybody wins.

Let's hope we have some schollies available! Or atleast make some room

good find, but I am guessing no as Weigold announced he is going to UA on Nov 23rd. http://triblive.com/sports/otherlocal/11529222-74/weigold-akron-basketball

@kreed5120 I found a few other things and do concede that I am mistaken.

Interesting. Couldn't fault us for taking Zeke as he was the biggest recruit in program history and one of the best players as well. You may be right. Maybe CJ was already committed and they weren't going to revoke his offer for McCollum? Who the hell knows at this point. How often do walk ons stick around for 3 years and get named team captain? This shows an offer. http://verbalcommits.com/players/c-j-oldham

Looks like we are targeting a big DT from Austria. Kent, UMASS, and an unnamed B1G school in the mix as well. Could come down to signing day. http://www.americanfootballinternational.com/austrias-maxi-hradecny-pondering-6-scholarship-offers/?utm_campaign=coschedule&utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=jtmckeon&utm_content=Austrian Maxi Hradecny Courting 6 Scholarship Offers http://www.hudl.com/profile/2537456/maxi-hradecny

CJ Oldham was also a member of that class, as I pointed out above. Everything I can find/remember points that he was on scholarship.

Remember when everyone was freaking out about QB depth a few weeks ago? Will be interesting to see who it is though.

Everyone is always quick to throw Milwee under the bus. BOWDEN has been the one who has made comments that show zero regard for the defense. You don't think it would be corrected if the HC had an issue with it?

Thanks for the clarification. Makes more sense now. I would hope that he would recover fully in the offseason though.

Lehigh and Wyoming saw the potential. We are supposed to be better. We should be seeing the potential of the players in our own backyard. CJ McCollum just sign a 106 million dollar contract. We took CJ Oldham instead. I'm not trying to be overly critical because even though it stings, whats done is done. I would just like us to accept the mistake(s) and try to learn from it, not make excuses. I was thinking of starting the thread on Pete a few weeks ago actually. It is encouraging to hear that the coaching staff is showing interest. He has a handful of D-1 offers currently, but none from a program the quality of Akron's.

Good to hear! 1- Our program should be at a point that we can get top area prospects over other mid-majors. If the football program is already being held to that standard (and rightfully so), the basketball program sure as hell should be as well, especially when we've missed on program changing players. 2- As has been repeated ad nauseam on here, Nance was never offered. There is fault in not trying or "missing" on evaluation. What the other mid majors do is irrelevant to Akron. We are supposed to be better. Nance and McCollum were not highly recruited.

TW was a top 4 QB (Terrell,Woodside, Rush, Woody) in the MAC when healthy. How do people not see this? Don't see how he wouldn't be a top 3 next season. So I definitely don't see how you guys expect 2 players who have never played a down for Akron somehow overtaking him.

Would be lyin if I said I wasn't jealous edit: on 2nd thought, its not as good as it looks as TX is 6-6. Shocked Shaka isn't doing better.

You would be one of the last people I would think of that would agree for some sort of consolidation with Kent. Merry Christmas Keener and to the rest of Zipsnation.

Take this crap to another thread.

We need to not pretend that WMU has it all figured out. The stars aligned perfectly for them this season. Last year they played MSU AND OSU. Two "body bag" games. We have also played or will play Pitt, Syracuse, Indiana, Iowa St, and Illinois. Hardly "body bag" games. edit: i went ahead and looked at next years schedule for WMU. USC and MSU.
