Hoping for some commits this weekend. Early national signing day is only 11 days a way!

I'd like to see us offer Andrew Wilson-Lamp out of Massillon. He went to WVU and played DB and really didn't accumulate much in terms of stats, but watching him in high school, I thought he was 2x the WR that Jayden Ballard was, who is at OSU.

After seeing what YSU did against us in that scrimmage, fearful of what’s in store against the Horizon league favorite.

Akron East alum at that!

Yeah Gathings leaving is the biggest talent leaving so far, but WR is probably the position I’m least concerned with on this team.

Looks like a great win!

My bet must’ve moved it.

Seems like taking the Braves is easy money. We just don’t seem to be at the level we expect yet (granted Ali is a large part of that).

Geez. About a minute of content and 4 minutes of advertisement in that 5 minute clip.

Miami just won 11 games and a MAC championship and their QB in line to start the next 2 seasons is leaving. He’s solid but not a top tier MAC QB. Nobody is safe.

Somewhat of a bummer as he played a lot this year and has good size/length. He's later in his career so unsure how much more growth potential is there. Either way, not an all conference guy and about as developed as he'll be by this point, so replaceable.

It's a great point, but I take issue with the part of "and you don't know you have better potential destinations lined up". Tampering shouldn't be happening. I don't mind the transfer or NIL rules, but there has to be SOME sort of cracking down on the current landscape. Everyone knowing Sam Hartman was going to ND the second he entered the portal last year is wrong.

Yep (knock on wood). Three most impactful would be Nate Williams, Tyson Durant, and Jaharon Griffin. Williams and Durant were starters, but should be replaceable by guys on the roster already or transfer portal. Griffin has some potential, but would've been buried on the depth chart still next year. All others fit the mold of walk on, or player with multiple years of college experience who have showed nothing to date.

Student body still has 3 if i'm not mistaken, and those 2 courts weren't highly used when I was in school, can't imagine that got any better with about half the student population.

I also say he's way above our pay scale.

No clue. Just sharing Sobol was leaving, and mentioning this will be the 3rd S&C coordinator Joe Mo will have in 3 years.

Jeff Sobol. Joined us last season from Kent after Lewis left for Colorado. I don’t know, but as @catdaddyp alluded to, could be reuniting with Lewis at SDSU.

Didn't really want to start a new thread for this, but looks like we will have a new Strength & Conditioning Coordinator. 3rd one in 3 years.

at minimum 3, up to 4 new QBs coming with this, with high likelihood of of only one of them being a HS commit. Sure hope the staff can find or develop a suitable option for next season with the 2 we currently have in the room + 2-3 transfers.

I think he mentioned HS, and i think we’re including Seymore in the 13, whose a transfer right ?

I noticed on the last zips weekly show mentioned only 12 HS commits when we had tracked 13. Wondered at this time if it was a slip, but the difference might have been Smith.

Looks like he was buried on the depth chart, regardless.. only 2 years into his career so still plenty of time to live up to recruiting ranking. Do you bring Bailey up just due to the natural connection or is there more to it you’re aware of? regardless, let’s get him!

Bummer there. I thought he played really well this year.

They are next year (at the least getting rid of divisions part).

I think Jaharon can have a nice career, but the reality is he’d be our 4th LB next year in a defense that typically only has 2 on the field, so wouldn’t be in line to start until he’s a senior. I can understand wanting to go somewhere to play. My guess is it’ll be FCS as he didn’t have much attention out of HS and doesn’t have a ton of film from Akron. Good luck to him.
