I believe with the new rules, all eligible players can declare, and if they do not hire an agent, are permitted to retract the declaration by a certain deadline.

Spring game roster/teams released. http://www.gozips.com/sports/fball/2016-17/files/2016_Spring_Game_Rosters.pdf

There isn't much on the internet, but I can't find anything about him that says something other than Akron. Still, have seen no mention of him anywhere for Spring ball.

Amazes me how all of the apologists' conveniently ignored this:

Agreed. Quite encouraging if true. Also surprising is that he is being mentioned over Boxen, who I think will be a helluva player.

Your post made me want to check out the spring roster. Couple surprising names there. One being Franshon Bickley.... http://www.gozips.com/sports/fball/2016-17/roster I did not see Krok on there and a few others rumored to be coming to Akron (I think the Massillon kid was another). Also looks like for the Freshman class that Council, Jordan, and Brown are early enrollees. Hopefully means good things for the OL.

A little insight into who is manning the defensive backfield and offensive line. However, I must be missing something because I'm about 110% certain that Ritz isn't a freshman. http://www.ohio.com/sports/zips/university-of-akron-football-zips-defensive-backs-looking-to-be-more-physical-1.674061?localLinksEnabled=false&utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter

In be4 "Akron would beat Oklahoma" or "Akron would have made a tourney run!"

Do you have a name for either of them? Also, "J" may want to change his twitter bio...

Hot dang. Quite Odell Beckham-ish.

If I settled down in Akron post-grad, it would have been the Valley I think. Obviously its all personal preference. The Valley, downtown, Highland Square, and Montrose area are all attractive for younger people.

In recent years (Akron specific), I can only think of Chisholm getting a chance with Pitt. As for the Browns, seems illogical to judge the current regime based on past regime's actions. Jatavis has or will have a visit with them. Local talent that has played for the Browns right off the top of my head is Charlie Frye, Josh Cribbs, and Abe Elam.

My sentiments regarding the law school echo what others above have said. There is an awesome dog park about 10 minutes from campus. http://www.doggoes.com/parks/ohio/bow-wow-beach-dog-park-silver-springs-park-stow I think the area is pretty awesome to live in. Low cost of living as you know. Not sure how great the market is for Law grads, however. You can drive an hour and do just about anything you can think of in the Akron/Canton/Cleveland area. Beaches, national parks, professional sports, hall of fames, museums, etc. I'm originally from a few hours away and glad I moved here.

thanks. we appreciate the updates as always.

What other QBs on the roster even have a serious chance of ever starting? Chapman is in the same class as Woody.

Trash. Had to lol at the Auburn/WVU headline. Talk about misleading..

lol.

We lost by 20.

Is Dalton a JuCo guy? His film says class of 2015 senior highlights. - edit - NVM. Looks like he went prep school route.

My God. 1) I've never been in Boyett's situation, nor do I know the exact details of what happened, but I'm not going to pretend to know exactly how I would handle it. 2) There is quite a difference between you "letting your friend in" (read:him knowingly being in your apartment) vs someone unknowingly being in your apartment at 3am in the morning in an area where robberies are quite prevalent. 3) Whoever's coach and/or boss we are talking about has no authority to infringe on your 2nd amendment right with what is presumed LEGALLY owned. 4) You don't need any license to legally own a handgun in Ohio. Just be 21 and pass a background check. 5) If Pratt himself agreed it was an accident, take your tin foil hats off and take what he said at face value. He has no incentive to cover for somebody who shot him.

Win more games and/or beat better teams. It's not rocket science. Winning your conference tournament helps quite a bit as well.

Our high RPI TOTALLY worked for us this season. Keep on keepin' on.

I agree with that. I also think it shows how worthless RPI really is by showing how the ranking can be "gamed".
