Kind of a lazy article in my opinion that anyone could find the info for online.. With that said, Beaven puts out some good stuff so I’m hopeful if he’ll be covering the Zips. Honestly don’t know, does GT even work for ABJ anymore?

Not that it means a whole lot as I believe all the guys ahead of him were either average or frankly bust recruits, but he would be the 10th highest recruited Zip of all time per 247 (go down to the bottom then click to the right on the arrow for all time commits). https://247sports.com/college/akron/season/2024-football/commits/ -
Deserving group. Also, back up QBs (at least at the start of the season) typically aren’t captains.

Can't tell is this is sarcasm or not (I think it is), but that is what they charge for a GA season ticket lol.

Thanks for sharing. That's a good sign if Bullock is looking as good as this states. To me this would mean expectations of all MAC performer for 3 years as he's only a R-Soph. May the best man win. Varying opinions on here of DJ, and I like him, but its a great thing if the transfers we are bringing in are competing and starting. Means we are upgrading talent and depth. I'm surprised to hear about OL and kickers looking good, but sure won't complain. Feel like there's question marks (but cautious optimism) about those units, but maybe transfers and development of younger players is boding well. I feel solid about CB with Hunter, Tallandier, and Thomas (even though he's a freshman) brought in + another year of growth development for Durant, Lewis, Golden-Nelson, and Threatt. A bit surprised to hear about interior DL. Feel like a mix of Lavea, Robinson, Jones, Thomas, Carter, and maybe Murphy would be formidable. Either our interior OL is going to be really good or interior DL will be an issue. I'm honestly more worried about DE outside of Johnson.

Sure we be great if we could get literally any coverage of the team during camp aside from a few pictures here and there by the zips social media. to be clear - calling out local media coverage as well as the university. I enjoyed the after practice interviews that have been done in the past.

*We have a roster* All newcomers expected appear to be here. Only one I didn't see from this years cycle, who I believe was here in spring, was Ahmad Rabah (DE from D2 or D3). Also notice some number changes and Darius Owens listed as a RB, but I think that might be an error as I don't think he even played it at all in high school. Saquan's brother is here. I'm still having us as 2 over the limit, when I believe Cap'n mentioned Coach said they were two under the limit (which I assume would be reserved for specialists as we aren't adding new players at this time). Honestly not sure at this point who is on the team that we have down as being on scholly that isn't. AJ George would be my only guess as he was also a walk on at Cinci.

I'll go 6-6 just because I'm a Zips fan. That means a bowl game and nearly as much enjoyment as I've had as Zips fan in my 13+ years following the program 🤢. Can't be greedy!

I also think he has a twin brother who plays the same position that might be committing too? Also, this is now 3 players committed from this high school. Need some background on this school and your prediction on who will have the best career @catdaddyplol -

I have no inside knowledge, just my opinion, but I think Bullock will be good competition for Irons, but Irons gets the nod if healthy or unless Bullock is looking amazing. At the very least we have depth which is a great thing. Need to keep in mind he suffered a pretty gruesome looking (and serious) injury to his throwing shoulder last year. Irons seems pretty polarizing on this board for whatever reason, but I like him while being able to recognize he makes some head scratching throws and needs to throw the ball away sometimes. May the best man win. -
Kaiwan Murphy in pic 2. Would be a pleasant surprise if we got some good production out of him this year. I recall staff speak highly of him as a true freshman last season (as well as Jaharon Griffin).
