Looking at the whole picture, its good news and bad news. Good news in the sense that there is most likely a QB on the roster better than him right now not named Kyle Pohl (hence the transfer). Bad news in the fact that we are losing most likely the best HS recruit under Bowden before they have even played a down for us. Chapman has two years left right? That means Kincade would have had 2 years to start assuming present circumstances. We also just lost a big commitment from a 2016 QB. We were feeling great about the QB position in regards to depth/talent/experience, now all of the sudden long term and even this season is a huge question mark. We all seen first hand last year in college football how QB depth can make or break your season. All we know right now is that Chapman is the best QB on the roster in practice.If Chapman is the starter and the offense has changed, I'd bet my left nut that Woodson is the back up.
ZTV Sports @ZTVsports 18m18 minutes ago Talked with head coach Terry Bowden about Spring practice and qb competition. Bowden informed us that Chandler Kincade is transferring
+1 I'm curious to know how their pay wall is working out for them. I know I defer to cleveland.com over them whenever possible because of that very reason. ABJ has a few very good journalists. Too bad that whoever is running ship is holding them back.
According to this article and Bowden himself, it was indeed the search committee that reached out initially. http://grantland.com/features/terry-bowden-akron-plight-mid-major-college-football-program/
I've said it before, but I really don't have an opinion either way of him. There is some irrational dislike for the guy for whatever reason (see exhibit A above). I could do a lot of defending of him if I actually cared.
Just something I wanted to inquire about. What's the chance of getting the 2 like per day limit increased or a limit even removed completely? I feel like I run into the issue all the time where I want to like someone's post but my limit is reached.
Take it FWIW, but I was talking to someone who is "in" with the football program, more specifically involved with recruiting, and they think it was a down year even for Akron's standards. As for myself, I'm sort of indifferent I suppose.
I like the pick of Buffallo over WVU for a lot of reasons, but two reasons stick out to me the most: 1) Buffalo has a go to player who can carry them and a few other nice ones that can help 2) They are battle tested. Do you guys think they will be fazed playing WVU when they've already played at Kentucky AND Wisconsin?
I wish if he were going to give an excuse not to play in one (which I'm alright with), he would use something different. What about all the other years we played in these junk tourneys? We aren't all of the sudden "above" them, especially when we can't even win because our guys don't usually care to be there. If anything, I think this group of guys would change that. They have great character and heart.
I think 9 players is plenty. Most teams in the country play with only 8 or 9 in their regular rotation. How long of a rest would we have if we accepted?
We usually disappoint in these junk tourneys. However, this team has a lot more heart than most other Zips teams I've watched. I'd bet if we took an invite we would have a nice little run.
Don't take it so personal. Wasn't intended to be. Just saying there is really not a chance of getting invited. Toledo didn't get an invite. No reason to think we would.
My early thoughts on the rotation next year: I'd like to see Kretzer get less minutes, Isaiah Johnson at maybe 10 minutes a game/Pat 30, and Aaron Jackson get some more time.
I'm not sober, but seems like a terribly written article. No flow and starting sentences with "but'. I also don't really see his point. I have no clue about the current set up there, but in the future, the fans still have to park somewhere, right?
Disappointed by the loss, but great effort by the Zips. Passionate and never gave up. Season could have been a lot more disappointing given the circumstances. Looking forward to watching the freshman and sophomores develop and expecting a huge senior season from Pat. Deji and Nyles- You both had a very nice senior season. Thank you for how you represented the program and good luck to you.
Its the end of the season. I;d think he'd be in shape by now. Still needs to develop his left hand in the off season. Missing shots he shouldn't because of it.
