Jalapeño Zippy

Yeah, respectability of this blog just went out the window. Wait, did it have any to begin with?

Shifty and good balance. I plan on watching more of the video later but I really like what his brings to the Zips!

I'm intrigued. I love how he catches the ball away from his body. He has nice vision when he runs and on defense he gets of blocks good and makes strong tackles.

@NewZipsFan....in your recent dig, did you find anything out?

Whiteout for K.e.n.t State Our fans and players can't wait Time to cook that bird!

Wow! Great patience, vision and pursuit and dadgum, he runs a 4.5 40. Very happy with this.

I like the silver and think it's great. I'd buy one...

I hope Coach Bowden is overqualified. If recent history repeats itself, UA wants to become an all around strong athletic program and they have proven they are willing to put up the money to do so i.e. Porter for Soccer. I have no doubt that when Terry turns this around Akron will try to do the same with him and give him the salary his overqualified butt deserves.

Didn't click on that tab so thank you for the info! I absolutely agree. This sounds like a great pick-up. We beat out UCF for him which shows how well Bowden and his staff can recruit. If I were a receiver, and with how much Coach has talked about opening up the offense, you bet I would want to come to UA and play. Nice job Coach Bowden!

Does anyone have any further information on Turner? This is an intriguing verbal. Decent size.

A 45 on the ESPN profile means he hasn't been graded at his position yet correct?

His ESPN profile is the most telling. I wonder where coach will line him up as I see he is considered a WR on some of the sites and an ATH on others.

This is a nice get for the Zips. I wonder what the plans are for him....redshirt? Spend a year with the S&C Coach or is QO strong enough and quick enough to contribute right away? One would think that based on his size he could challenge right away for a spot.

ZTZ, thank you for taking the time! Much appreciated!

Wow, I am surprised. On several occasions most notably OSU he was the difference in the game. Whoever signs him will be getting a steal if you ask me. What's keeping teams away? Consistency issues?

Makes since. OL was awful last year. Thanks for posting ZTZ.

+1 million. I want to know who chooses Akron not who makes the wrong decision and goes to another school. Well maybe I do want to know who they are...then I can laugh when we beat them ala Stevie Taylor from OU this past weekend in basketball. Regardless separating them out would keep the old system of having all of those we recruit and their final destination to make those who like that happy and then creating a sticky thread for those that make the right decision and come to UA to keep a closer eye on which would make me happy!!

My DVR cut out at a 1:12 left in the game so I don't know what happened at the end between Zeke and the midge but if Q came over to defend his teammate that to me shows something that was seemingly lacking in the early part of the season which is Leadership. This team has needed it and will need it going forward. It also sounds like Q was the unlucky receiver as well as Zeke of a tech to keep the game in check and more so neither said anything deserving of the T's. On another note, 3-0 feels good.

That would not be smart. Coach has proved nothing yet (he will), don't turn away those fans that have suffered through it all. It's basic economics supply must equal demand and at $100 was that happening? I know it wasn't at $5,000

weather I bet, lol. It is a bear out there this morning.

It's too hard for me to grade anything at this point...they team itself has maybe played together for only 5 games. But what I have seen is potential and a lot of it. The team just needs to trust KD and each other.

I liked Luke's style of play and am hopeful he gets picked.

That Abreu to Gilliam alley-oop at 1:08 was pretty impressive. Wonder why coach doesn't play Gilliam more during crunch time...bad defense? I will be paying closer attention to his D just for my own understanding.

Any news?

If Akron loses...I vote no more bus trips.
