Look at the smile on Dom's face:

I listened to the annual Football Recruting show Joe Dunn does on 1350 last night. The whole first hour was OSU stuff. Blah Blah Blah. At the end they asked the guy from bucknuts.com about Akron's class. He said Adam Bice was the steal of Ohio this year. Joe mention a couple of the other kids and he said they were good pickups but he could not say enough good things about Bice.The whole second hour was about Akron. J.D. came on and talked about the positions they were looking at for this years class. He was asked about a JUCO QB and said they really thought about it but in the end they did not want to disrupt the locker room. He also said after last weekend they had three decommits but after talking to the kids they are back on board. They are only waiting on an answer from one player and just trying to balance the verbal commits. J.D. did say if they get the one they are waiting on it will make the class awesome but if not they have a pretty good backup plan. (I think it is a CB and hopefully 4 star Josh Pleasent from Hargrave)Mike Rasor was also on and said some really good things. He did mention about CJ leaving and it was not touched by Dunn. Mike did a really nice job on the radio.Jordan Miller the QB from New Philly was also on the show. He said he is really looking forward to coming to Akron and will get he as soon as he can in the summer. He also mentioned CJ leaving and that he was told he might have a chance to play this year. He sounds like a very bright young man.Overall the show was pretty good. But there was really no new infomation that has no been talked about on here or Rasor Blog. Joe did mentioned that Bowser and Gardner have become friends and that Bowser called Gardner and told him not to visit Washington State but instead come to Akron with him. So maybe Gardner was a decommit but is now back on board. I think we could see the two new JUCO guys in the starting lineup.

Here is a link to a message board on jcfootball.com. There is a nice discussion about Bowser and Avery.Link to Message Board

No, a new building for the College of Education. If a new arena is built look for it to be more downtown.

He is bad news!!! He might be invloved in a huge scandal from Massillon Washington High School. JD kicked a few kids off last year because they were bad news. There is no reason to add more.

According to Rivals.com Rhyne Ladrach 6-6 225 from Orrville has committed to the Zips. Link to Source

Yesterday was the first day JUCO's graduating in DEcember could sign a letter of intent.Do we know if the Zips had anybody sign?

But it will not be in a Zips uniform. He has pledged to Ohio University. There has to be some skeletons with this guy. Why would a 4 star QB be headed to the MAC.......Link to BioAlso S Daniel Urias who had the Zips listed as High Interest has also pledged to Ohio. But he may end up at a Div IAA power in the end. This is to bad I really wanted to see him as the Rover Back for the Zips.

Coach D had a few comments on the radio show last night.B McKinght is now ready to go. He will start practice on Monday.Roberts should offically know on Monday. (Iknow it was posted he said he is ok but the offical word will be on Monday)Coach was not sure when Steward would be able to play. Not sure if he is down playing him but he did not sound very gung-ho about him palying anytime soon.

I never question the posts of the great Capn'but here are some links to support the commitment.Link 1Link 2Link 3I would like to se this young man play NG i nthe 3-3-5 defense.Edit:It also seems this is old news?http://zipsnation.org/forums//index.php?sh...42&hl=mitch

Harvey was back in the school for this semester. I am not sure if he has the grades to play.Lindsey went ot a JUCO school. I don't think he will be back.

I found this on Bobcatattack.com. In a nut sheek this is what he said to rivals.comWaller to Akron...for now. He's leaving his options open but it won't be Ohio. Says Akron has better facilities, better city, better broadcasting program (?) and more immediate need for corners. He has let the Zips know he's gone if something better comes along.Nice to see if he gets a better offer he will take that.....

Link to the FootballScoop.com messageboardI know most of this site is BS but still worth a look.

According to akron.scout.com Daniel Urias has an high interest in playing for the Zips.Here is his bio on scout.comI also found this video. Video LinkThis kid looks sick in this video. He is quick to the ball and pounds the player when he gets there. He would look real nice in the rover position.
